ATLANTA, April 19 /PRNewswire/ -- ORTEC announced today that the Upper Merion Township has chosen ORTEC's HARMONY Workforce Management Solution for their entire township. Utilizing HARMONY's modular architecture, ORTEC worked with the Upper Merion Township to provide the perfect solution that includes workforce scheduling, optimization, invoicing, time clocks and time & attendance.
Upper Merion Township is located in southeastern Pennsylvania, about 15 miles from center city Philadelphia. Over the last five decades, Upper Merion has developed into one of the most important "activity centers" of the region. The township has approximately 27,000 residents, hosts over 50,000 jobs, and offers over 9.5 million square feet of office space. Also located in Upper Merion are Valley Forge National Historic Park and the King of Prussia Mall, the nation's largest shopping mall (ranked by square footage of retail space).
Upper Merion employs approximately 190 full time employees, 80 permanent part-time employees and 200 seasonal summer workers. The Upper Merion Township consists of several departments with quite different needs. Part of the challenge of selecting a system was to find a system that could meet the requirements of every department. According to an Upper Merion official, Upper Merion chose HARMONY because, "HARMONY is the one product that provides quick and easy employee scheduling from basic rosters to our more sophisticated police department schedules." Utilizing HARMONY for Invoicing and Time & Attendance will also provide time savings for Upper Merion.
