Position Control Software

Position Control, Simplified.

Manage staffing, control budgets, and streamline approvals in one platform built for HR, finance, and front-line managers.

Why FTE Tree

Built for How Organizations Actually Work

Traditional position control tools silo staffing data inside HR, force finance teams into separate spreadsheets, and leave front-line managers out of the picture entirely. The result is duplicated effort, misaligned budgets, and slow decision-making.

FTE Tree takes a different approach. A single, shared platform gives HR, finance, and department managers real-time visibility into FTE counts, wage costs, and approval status. Managers own their staffing models and budgets directly, while configurable permission groups and department-scoped access keep sensitive data secure. The result: faster decisions, clearer accountability, and one version of the truth across your organization.

HR Teams

Own every position from creation to fill. Track vacancies, route approvals, and generate compliance-ready audit trails without leaving the platform.

Finance and Budget Analysts

See the true cost of every staffing slot. Model wage scenarios, compare approved baseline to forecast, and export data directly to your general ledger.

Department Managers

Submit staffing requests, track approval status, and manage your team's positions with department-scoped access. No training required.

Features

Everything You Need to Control Staffing and Costs

From position tracking and wage adjustments to automated approvals and built-in reporting, FTE Tree gives you the tools to manage every position in your organization with confidence.

Build multi-step approval workflows that route position requests to the right people automatically. Set dollar and FTE thresholds to control which changes need additional sign-off, assign dynamic approval roles that cascade through your department tree, and let approvers act from any device with a single click.

Hierarchical Department Tree

Model any organizational structure with a flexible department tree. Approval workflows, job codes, and user permissions cascade automatically through child departments.

Wage and FTE Adjustments

Apply dollar or percentage adjustments to positions, job codes, or schedules. Handle benefits, shift differentials, bonuses, and more with nine configurable adjustment types.

Built-In Reporting

Run position summary, vacancy, employee roster, and approval activity reports. Export to CSV, Excel, or view directly in the browser.

Batch Import and Export

Upload positions, employees, and job codes in bulk with template-based imports. Validation and draft review steps catch errors before data is committed.

Secure by Default

Data is encrypted in transit and at rest behind firewalled infrastructure. SSO, multi-factor authentication, and department-scoped permissions keep access tight.

Complete Audit Trail

Every position change, approval action, and data update is tracked with timestamps and user attribution. Configurable audit events capture the context you need.

Scenario Planning

Forecast Before You Commit

Build "what-if" scenarios to model the cost of new hires, reclassifications, or restructures before making a single change. Compare your baseline staffing plan against forecast models side by side, then promote the winning scenario to your active plan when you are ready.

  • Create multiple forecast scenarios per department
  • Compare baseline vs. forecast FTE counts and costs
  • Override or add adjustments per scenario
  • Promote approved forecasts to your active staffing plan

Pricing

Pricing That Scales With Positions, Not People

Most workforce tools charge per user, forcing organizations to limit who gets access. FTE Tree charges based on the number of positions you manage, not the number of people who log in. Give every manager, analyst, and approver full access without worrying about seat costs.

No Per-User Fees

Every person in your organization can use FTE Tree. Managers, approvers, HR, finance, executives. No seat limits, no extra charges.

Volume Discounts Built In

Your per-position cost decreases automatically as your organization grows. The more positions you manage, the less you pay per position.

Simple, Predictable Billing

One line item based on your total position count. No surprise add-ons, no module fees, no implementation charges.
