InVision Software Launches U.S. HQ in Chicago

July 12, 2005

InVision Software, a Germany-based provider of workforce management (WFM) software, announces today its launch of a U.S. subsidiary in Chicago, IL.

The new headquarters of InVision Software, Inc. will service both the U.S. and Canadian territories, with further bases "planned for the West and South to be nearer to those specific markets."

InVision currently has 12 international subsidiaries. The customer base currently includes global brands such as ABN AMRO, Vodafone, Deutsche Telekom and IKEA.

“We are confident that the North American market, across all industries, holds great potential for our company,” Peter Bollenbeck, CEO of the InVision Software Group, said in a statement. “Obviously, it is a very large territory, and it is still the place where global technology trends are set. With the strong foothold we have in Europe, demonstrated by currently 480 installations, InVision has what it takes to meet the North American challenge.”

The InVision Enterprise WFM is a Web-based solution for enabling businesses to forecast, schedule and control their workforce in real time to match requirements with capacity; a point, therefore, to reliably prevent over- and understaffing. According to the company, its software has been proven to reduce staff-related costs by up to 25 percent.

At the same time, the InVision Enterprise WFM is designed to increase workforce productivity and reduce staff fluctuation, all the while significantly reducing time spent on workforce management processes. Another key advantage of the InVision system is its degree of localization: While logging on, users can choose between six different languages, including English, Spanish and German, with more to come.

“In our tenth year, the opening of the U.S. office demonstrates how far we have come,” Bollenbeck continued to say. “All in all, our tools are perfectly geared towards the North American market thanks to their technological power and functional versatility. This is a real milestone in our company’s development and with an impressive client list, a strong base in Europe and 110 employees, InVision continues to go from strength to strength.”
