Employees that come into work are needed to clock in to get paid for the amount of time they are working per day. They will log on to Darwinbox and clock in as soon as they can. Some will use the PTO they have available to use. HR will be able to make payroll in a timely manner for employees.

Lumesse is well suited for global companies, that are not too large and may get enough attention/support from other larger vendors.

Cons
  • It can improve its UI a little better and make it look more user friendly
  • It can provide a deep analysis about things and should provide a download feature for the analytics shown
  • It should increase its scalability for large organisation as i think it wont be able to handle it

  • Simplicity is key. The user interface could use some work around where a button should be located and how intricate does one layer need to be

The only reason I would renew Lumesse is because of the difficulty of doing a data migration to a new system and the potential loss of candidates already in the system. The cost is also a factor, it is a very expensive system and there is little to no customer support.

Usability
Great tool, however the bugs mar its user experience. If solved for, and if the UI is improved on, it will be an amazing tool

Darwinbox helps to maintain all the things at one platform and easy to use too. It provide better usability compared with Moday.com. Darwinbox provides more functionality compared with monday.com. It is also user friendly as well. All the things we are getting one platform and on one place.

Each of the above products were more effective than Lumesse. I did not select Lumesse for our company, and would replace it with another system if given the opportunity. Jobvite was the most user-friendly ATS I have used. This system allows seamless integration with social media and automatically pushes postings out to free career boards like Indeed.com. I was also able to give hiring managers their own accounts with different levels of access to the information in the database so they could browse resumes and view the status on their open roles at their convenience

Return on Investment
  • The ability to view the organization structure and functional structure for the entire company.
  • One-stop solution for talent acquisition, payroll, leaves, reimbursements, attendance (time-sheet), holidays, etc. So I don't have to open a lot of different apps.

  • Lumesse give us the ability to accurately track candidates through the hiring process, which then in turn allows us to hire candidates quickly and compliantly, which is our overall goal for clients.
  • Accurate information that is easily accessible allows us to process candidates through the background screens quickly, which ensures candidates start and we're able to get paid for our filled positions.
