Empower your team & streamline HR tasks with Avanti GO

How often does your HR team find itself overwhelmed by employee requests for pay stubs, vacation entitlements, clock-ins and outs, shift swaps, and more? Chances are, it's more often than you'd like. You might be surprised at just how many inquiries come in daily.

Employees spend several valuable work hours on payroll and HR-related tasks, adding up to as much as 30 minutes per employee each week. Although these tasks may seem minor and easy to update, they are time-consuming and detract from focusing on more strategic initiatives and critical work. Not only that, but these repetitive inquiries can slow down processes and lead to errors.

What if you could empower your employees to handle these tasks themselves, quickly and easily, directly from their pocket?

With Avanti Go, you can. Our mobile app, available on both iOS and Android, is designed to cut down on administrative redundancy, boost productivity, and enhance the overall employee experience. Avanti Go allows employees to take control of their day-to-day tasks without asking their managers, payroll, or HR admins for help. From posting, swapping, and picking up shifts to viewing pay slips, checking entitlements, and updating personal information, employees can do it all with just a few taps.

This way, HR teams can focus on essential tasks like improving employee performance and workplace morale. Meanwhile, employees can stay focused on their roles and responsibilities without being bogged down by administrative chores. The result? A more streamlined, efficient workplace that can save you tens of thousands of dollars per year in labour costs.

Ready to dive deeper? Let’s explore how Avanti Go can transform employee self-service and streamline HR management. We’ll take a closer look at its current features and the core functionalities that make the app essential and highlight what’s new: the Time Off Requests feature, designed to simplify managing employee time off like never before.

Avanti GO current features and functionality

Punch in and out with a tap

Check in and out with Avanti Go. Its seamless integration with Clock Connect allows your team to conveniently log their hours remotely via web punch, syncing to your backend system within 30 seconds— no manual data entry required. This ensures accuracy and accountability while minimizing time theft and errors. Whether remote or on-site, clock punches are instantly reflected in your payroll, allowing you to update shift codes or make time adjustments as needed.

Location-verified time entries

Worksite geofencing streamlines time punch validation by ensuring employees check in and out within a designated radius, confirming they are at approved locations. These real-time insights help reduce errors, eliminate fraudulent time tracking and simplify employee management. From monitoring hours worked and overtime to tracking break durations and more, you can ensure compliance with your business’s specific needs while improving operational efficiency.

Swap and pick up shifts in real-time

Say goodbye to scheduling headaches and scrambling to fill shifts. Avanti Go transforms how your team manages their schedules, whether in the office or on the go. Once a schedule is posted, employees and managers receive real-time notifications and can choose to post a shift to the Schedule Pool. Employees can access their schedules, request shift swaps, or pick up additional shifts, while managers can quickly review, approve, or reject these requests, streamlining shift management for greater efficiency and ease.

Simplified leave management

With Avanti Go, employees can easily view their available leave hours directly within the app, ensuring they always know how much time off they have left. By centralizing leave information, Avanti Go helps streamline planning vacations or personal days, reducing the need for back-and-forth with HR and giving employees greater control over their time off. Such transparency and convenience contribute to smoother workflows and improved work-life balance — ultimately fostering a positive work environment that promotes creativity, innovation, and increased productivity.

With Avanti Go, your team enjoys secure, on-demand access to critical pay and tax documents directly through the app. Employees can quickly view and download their pay slips, HR forms, company documents, and personal tax details, ensuring they have the information they need when they need it. This capability enhances transparency and minimizes individual requests for vital documents. By providing real-time updates and streamlined document retrieval, Avanti Go helps simplify payroll management and boost overall efficiency.

Stay on the same page with notifications and reminders

Ensure seamless communication and timely updates with Avanti Go's robust notification and reminder features. Set up custom workflows to automatically alert your internal team about profile information changes or send personalized notifications to employees regarding visa renewals, benefit eligibility, anniversaries, new available shifts, updated documents, or reminders to clock in and out. With user-defined push notifications, you can keep everyone informed and updated on any changes or alerts, enhancing coordination and ensuring critical information is always at your fingertips.

Hassle-free profile updates

Empower your team with greater control over their personal information. With Avanti Go, managing personal information is a breeze.

With the power of Avanti Go, employees can make changes quickly and efficiently, ensuring their profiles remain current and accurate at all times.

Sleek and customized design with advanced security

Avanti Go's user interface features a sleek and modern design tailored to each Canadian province, with elements reflecting regional nuances, which provides a more personalized and intuitive experience for users across various locations.

Whether managing pay slips, scheduling, or other HR tasks, the design ensures that every aspect of the app aligns with local preferences and regulatory requirements.

Avanti Go also emphasizes security measures to protect your data. The app supports modern security features such as Face ID and fingerprint recognition for login. Additionally, the app offers the option of a hard logout after each session, ensuring users must re-enter their credentials for added protection. This customized approach not only ensures client information remains protected but also enhances the app’s functionality and meets the specific needs of each user — boosting productivity and satisfaction while fostering a more engaging and comfortable experience for the whole team.

What’s new: Time Off Requests

With our latest feature to Avanti Go, Time Off Requests, employees can now seamlessly request time off directly through the app for companies using Availability as their time source. This new feature transforms time-off management by making it more streamlined, convenient, and accessible. It offers employees an intuitive way to handle their time-off needs while improving the overall process. Employees can easily submit, view, and manage their time off requests, attach necessary documents, cancel requests, and track request history and upcoming request details.

Future updates will expand this functionality to include other Avanti time-tracking methods, such as schedules and time cards. Time Off Requests help create a more cohesive and engaging experience, ultimately fostering a more efficient and responsive workplace environment, making it easier for everyone to stay on top of their time-off needs.

How it works:
