Every Hour Accounted, Every Rate Defensible
Labor Management
Labor is the largest, most scrutinized cost on most programs, and the one most often managed reactively. Mischarges surface in audits, forecasts lag reality, and rate defensibility is an afterthought. Labor Management makes time management proactive, forecasts labor by program and period, enforces authorization before the charge, and validates rates against agreements so the labor story holds up under audit.

Why Labor Becomes an Audit Risk
Mischarges are caught in audits, not before
Timekeeping compliance is enforced reactively. Charging errors are found during audits, when they are expensive to fix and hard to explain.
Labor forecasts lag reality
Forecasts by program and cost element are built manually and updated slowly, so the labor plan is always a step behind actual effort.
Rates are hard to defend
Labor rates are validated informally against agreements. When defensibility matters, assembling the justification takes days.
Authorize, Capture, Forecast, Defend
Labor is controlled before the charge, captured cleanly, forecast forward, and rated defensibly.
Authorize
Run labor authorization workflows with approval gates so effort is authorized against the right charge before it is booked.
Capture
Capture time with AI-driven monitoring that flags anomalies and potential mischarges as they happen.
Forecast
Forecast labor by program, cost element, and period from live effort and plan data.
Rate & Defend
Validate labor rates against agreements and derive personnel area and subarea from the employee for defensible cost posting.

Common Questions
- What is Labor Management?
- Labor Management is an AI-driven solution covering time management, labor forecasting, labor authorization, and labor rating, built to give compliance-driven organizations audit-ready labor data and defensible rates across programs.
- How does it prevent labor mischarges?
- It captures time with AI-driven monitoring that flags anomalies and potential mischarges as they happen, and enforces labor authorization with approval gates before effort is booked, so problems are caught proactively rather than in an audit.
- How does it make rates defensible?
- It validates labor rates against agreements and derives personnel area and subarea from the employee for accurate cost posting, producing an audit-ready trail for how each rate and charge was determined.
- Does it integrate with SAP time capture?
- Yes. It builds on CATS-based time capture with OData integration to S/4HANA for personnel and cost posting.
