Archived Branch back at Target?

[TLfordayz]

Anyone else still using Branch here? We went to Kronos, everyone hated it so we went back to the paper swap board, and some TM's still use Branch. Saw they got a partnership with Kronos:

Branch Partners with Kronos

We're thrilled to announce we've joined the Kronos Workforce Dimensions Technology Partner Network, a fast-growing ecosystem of organizations utilizing the revolutionary Workforce Dimensions solution and intelligent Kronos D5 platform to help reshape the future of workforce management. Based on...

Anyone know if this means Branch will be back at Target? Deeply miss using Branch across the whole store.

I loved branch much better than kronos. In our store, they only had branch for less than one year. I can't figure out why branch was dropped....

they had just announced you could get paid instantly after each shift/whenever you wanted instead of waiting for payday, i feel like that played a part

Because, for whatever reason, Branch wasn't integrated with the scheduling system. HR people had to manually upload a spreadsheet of the schedules, any time there were changes (which they didn't want to do, obviously) so the schedule would get out of whack and people (despite being told over and over and over again not to trust their schedule in Branch) would fail to show up for their assigned shifts and stuff like that and it got to be too much of a headache.

It was awesome for shift swaps, but because people are dumb, we can't have nice things.

Yeah, I think Branch was a pilot or something--my store had it, but not all did. I heard of Kronos here long before my store told us about it.

But the real question is this downtime to fix Kronos, or is it just some routine maintenance that probably doesn't make a difference?

Downtime is to update for modernization titles and workcenters as well as other backend HR updates
