Tugboat Software

Tugboat’s solution pairs with your HR and ERP systems. Your rules of operation and policies are the foundation for Tugboat’s solutions. If your operation requirements are complex, we offers comprehensive solutions that focus on assigning your workforce to an optimized schedule while managing PTO. The schedule for your entire workforce is generated fast for a staff of hundreds or thousands of employees while improving employee satisfaction, reducing workload and drives down operating costs.

Even within the same enterprise, no two facilities are alike . Your unique operation rules and policies are the foundation for Tugboat Software’s dynamic work scheduling solutions.

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, put simply, automate processes in supply chain management. Human Resource Management (HRM) systems manage HR functions. Both systems rely on a finite set of resources – people, equipment and parts. There is some overlap between these systems, but neither system focuses on assigning scheduling solutions in an optimal manner to control labor costs.
