Servicetrac Time - Swipe Cards and Biometric Devices
Time can connect in real time to a range of Biometric or Swipe Card devices using traditional magnetic strip or RFID proximity reader technology. The fingerscan or swipe solution is linked via a fixed line or GPRS connection to the Time online database and data is passed back to the database in real time.
Key business benefits:
- Real time T&A monitoring via link to Servicetrac Time and Staff systems
- Large volumes of T&A data captured at low cost
- Simple implementation with low training requirement for staff
How it works - Servicetrac Time in action
Biometric and Swipe Card solutions are particularly effective in situations where larger numbers of staff operate from a single location - typically more than 20 staff.
Each staff member has a record of either a swipe card ID or fingerprint ID held within the online Time database. The fingerscan or swipe card units are wall mounted and powered using a standard wall socket. Attendance data collected on the fingerprint unit is sent to the Time online platform using a modem or a GSM mobile phone modem.
Enrolling staff on the fingerprint unit is quick and simple. The unit scans the employee’s fingerprint and converts the image into a number which is stored on the unit. This is referred to as the user’s template. To clock in or out the employee enters their unique PIN and simply places their finger on the unit.
The finger is scanned and compared with the template already stored on the unit to irrefutably verify the correct operative has clocked in or out.
