Disparate, scattered apps for managing, engaging, and informing employees can slow down or block efficient communications and operations.
Workforce management integration centralizes these apps to help companies and teams access work-related tools more seamlessly, eliminating headaches, confusion, and lost time. In 2021, over 50% of businesses were reported to utilize WFM integration solutions for such more intelligent workflow. However, choosing the right one matters for your unique business needs.
What Is WFM Integration?
WFM integration is a software solution that helps organizations and companies to streamline and automate logins and work processes by giving a central access point to company tools and apps.
This integrated tooling improves workers’ and employees’ time, empowers managers and employees to self-service, and increases employee communications around safety measures, HR announcements, and more.
Why Integrate WFM with the APP HUB?
As an integrated workforce management system, RedeApp’s integration space, known as the App Hub, allows for easy self-service. The hub is a central access point for all integrations a company might choose for everything operational: forms, payroll, onboarding, safety protocols, and more.
RedeApp’s App Hub solution for workforce management also allows for uniquely tailored integrations to some extent, with a customizable API.
Quick, Visible Accessibility
Direct access links can be generated in the App Hub for any given application. With just a few taps, on-the-go, frontline workers can hop into specific areas of the employee onboarding portal or the timekeeping board. They can immediately view, sign, or retrieve any latest safety protocol announcement, HR benefits form, reward, or timesheet adjustment.
This direct accessibility generated through WFM integration is invaluable. Consider warehouse audit reports that can be pulled up quickly by an operations lead/manager as they survey the warehouse grounds. The App Hub makes that entry point seamless and quick.
“For airport ground support teams, instant access to safety protocols and training materials isn’t just convenient—it’s mission-critical. With RedeApp’s App Hub, our ramp agents and ground crew can pull up the latest airside safety briefings, equipment operation guides, and weather alerts directly from their mobile devices while on the tarmac. No more rushing back to the office to check procedures or wondering if they have the current version of a document. Everything they need to keep operations safe and compliant is right at their fingertips.”

Permissions Capabilities
The App Hub allows for setting up permissions that make certain links accessible to specific people within one’s company. Permissions put in place help keep information and securities in coordinated places.
For example, mid-level managers can acquire access points to the tools in their App Hub that they can then grant permission to their teams. This creates content governance to help keep order in a department or organization.
Automated Documents & Forms
The App Hub’s integrations with different operational, HR, and rewards partners’ solutions/apps allows customers/teams to automate their documentation.
Templated or company-wide materials like annual job satisfaction surveys, latest operational or safety protocols for employees, or their employee service awards, are immediately redeemable by team leads and workers to view or sign.
What Types of Impact Does Our Integrated Workforce Management Solution Create?
Some key types of departments and teams that utilize RedeApp’s App Hub for better employee engagement, safety, and operations span across HR to team leadership.
Operations
Operations leads and customer utilize RedeApp’s App Hub for their safety documentation and communications.
Everything from inspection updates, audits, checklists, and invoices can be stored and accessed easily by all necessary parties to keep operations safe and functional.
After integrating RedeApp’s App Hub with their operational workflow systems, a major hospitality organization saw over 38,000 form submissions across 27,000 employees—standardizing critical processes from safety checklists to compliance documentation. The centralized access eliminated scattered paper processes and created measurable operational efficiency across all properties.
The data tells the story: 283K App Hub clicks in just 5 months, with employees actively accessing everything from payroll systems to safety protocols directly through their mobile devices.
Human Resources
With the App Hub, culture and people leaders can integrate their HR application for employees to access easily.
HR documentation and communications, such as company guidelines, benefits packages, internal job vacancies, pulse surveys, and so on, can be stored and accessed easily by hiring managers, applicants, and workers.
Smooth accessibility to these HR documents gives benefits, such as discovering employee sentiment, retaining talent, automating onboarding, and more.
Employee Recognition, Employee Retention
Maintaining employee retention begins with making it easy for hard-working employees to get their piece of the pie: rewards and other forms of recognition.
RedeApp’s App Hub is a place where RedeApp customers/clients can access integrations for that purpose. With rewards and recognition partners like Terryberry, full or API capable integrations to distribute awards become a convenient possibility.
RedeApp’s AppHub even allows customers to use their own rewards and recognition partner if they’d like for their own custom/unique needs.
Employee recognition becomes actionable when it’s accessible. A senior living organization implemented their custom rewards platform through RedeApp’s App Hub, making it simple for caregivers and staff to recognize colleagues on-the-go. With instant mobile access to nominate peers and redeem recognition, the organization saw engagement with their recognition program increase significantly—turning what was once an underutilized HR initiative into a daily part of their culture.
When recognition is just a tap away rather than buried in a desktop system, employees actually use it. The App Hub’s integration capabilities make custom recognition systems as accessible as checking a text message.
The App Hub: How to Integrate WFM and Communicate with Employee Experience Apps
Integrating one’s integrated workforce management platform correctly is necessary for smooth functionality and streamlined workflows. Here are the steps to take to easily integrate WFM tools:
- Problem and Goal Defining: Note the current processes and pain points/problem areas in your existing workflows around time tracking, form completions, and so on. This will help you understand what gaps you have and what WFM integrations to look for that fill those gaps.
- Current WFM Software Assessment: Assessing your current WFM software’s functionalities will further gauge operational/workflow gaps.
- New WFM Integration Selection: Research and pick the WFM integration solution that addresses those current problem areas and operational gaps. HR, payroll, and communication integration functionality should be at the top of the list.
- New WFM Integration QA: Perform some quality assurance test runs of the data migration from the old WFM integration system to your new one. Enlist test users and scenarios to make sure any integrated apps and their relevant access links are navigating and running appropriately.
- Integrated WFM System Refinement: Continue to monitor and improve your WFM integration based on new hire feedback, current employee and leadership insights, and so on, so that the integration continues to serve your business well. For instance, if a new employee expresses a problem accessing an onboarding document through a link, fix it.
The right WFM integration solution will make engagement, communication, and operation more automated, efficient, visible, and seamless. RedeApp’s the App Hub houses your business’s company-wide HR, rewards, task, leadership, and operational tools in a central place for easy access.
