What is the UKG Pro Mobile App?
The UKG Pro mobile app, formerly the UltiPro mobile app, is designed to help customers improve their own user experiences through instant and secure access to relevant employee information and improvements and new features that make completing tasks a whole lot simpler.
Key Features of the UKG Pro Mobile App
Let’s take a closer look at the core features of the UKG Pro mobile app for users across industries…
1) Instant and Secure Access
With built-in user authentication and encryption capabilities in the UltiPro mobile app, business users can ensure all relevant employee information stays safe and secure, even as app improvements and new features are released across the system.
The UKG Pro application also provides touch and Face ID recognition software to simplify login processes and ensure only authorized customers have access to certain features and areas of the software. This way, users can ensure their personal data remains secure, no matter what (or who is accessing the system.)
(Please note that access to UKG Pro’s mobile app is only available to existing UKG customers.)
2) Real-Time Data Synchronization
Real-time data synchronization features make it easier for users to keep up with changes, monitor new employee requests, and stay connected to deliver information more effectively across teams.
On one hand, whenever changes are made within the UKG Pro system, each change is reflected in the UKG UltiPro mobile app for users to access and view whenever and wherever they’re needed. On the other, whenever changes are made to information or tasks in the UKG Pro mobile app, changes are reflected in the main UKG system.
3) Mobile Employee Experiences
The UKG Pro mobile app makes it easier for employees to access critical workforce information from their preferred device, including desktop, laptop, or mobile devices.
This way, whether they’re in the office or in the field, employees can quickly and easily access and update personal HR and payroll information, complete tasks, monitor schedules, and communicate with coworkers.
The mobile app and features within also enable system administrators to understand how their employees are using the application and leverage advanced (and actionable) insights to improve the user experience.
