Time and Attendance Software system throughout their owned properties.
“We are pleased to announce Red Lion Hotels as a new Watson, R.M. Time and Attendance Software client,” said Mark Heymann, UniFocus President and CEO. “Our T&A system was chosen because of its interactive smart clock hardware, overall ease of use and the fact that it's more hospitality-oriented.
