IT'S TIME TO CHANGE YOUR ATTENDANCE SYSTEM. LET'S BUY IT RIGHT.
CAUTION: DON'T CALL ANY SUPPLIERS BEFORE YOU READ OUR FREE TIPS BASED ON A 20-YEAR EXPERIENCE IN THE INDUSTRY
Your organization is looking forward to changing the attendance system that has been adopted by your business a gazillion years ago. Everybody knows that it is an ancient system, but somehow the company is taking its good sweet time to replace it. While the management thought that the company could escape the cost (of changing the system), the business couldn't withstand the hassle and the workload that comes with that conventional system. Okay, now there is no excuse for not changing the system anymore.
But, the question is, which system to replace the old ones and how can you get the most value out of the investment. Bear in mind that not all systems are created equal and all you have is that X amount of budget.
Therefore, it is wise to spend a couple more minutes reading these FIVE TIPS of choosing the modern best solutions for attendance, to get more values for your money and stretch your investment further.
(Personally, I have 20 years experience in this industry, and I've been marketing time attendance solutions for all those years worldwide. These are my 5 take-home points for buyers to use in their procurement process.)
BRAND MATTERS and those who say that it's not is not forward-thinking. I'm not afraid to say so because a well-known, famous brand is almost always associated with good values and vice versa. Because a brand ONLY becomes strong and established after it is put into the market for a duration, and after it withstood the market pressure. Product quality, service quality and customer experience sum up the brand's worth eventually. Buying a quick paste-on sticker 'brand' risks the company down the road because once the deal is sealed, whatever comes next could or could not be the seller matter anymore. Hence, the buyer must hold the brand accountable for the marketing, the 'promises' it makes to the market.
SUPPORT IS CRUCIAL because we know that &^$# happens when it comes to electronic products. While one product is okay, another one could be having a problem right from the start. Apart from warranty offered, support is REALLY REALLY REALLY important because let's face it, most of your employees do not know (or pretend not to know) how to operate ANY machines. Even though the products come with a warranty, it doesn't necessarily mean that support is offered. Support means that someone is there to attend to your problems. And while you are there, check the warranty duration too. The duration tells quality actually.
MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE has to bundle with the hardware. You do not settle for less and do not accept substandard software. You must list down the purposes of your company buying the new attendance machines, and compare them against the features offered by the management software. If the software features match more than 90% of your requirements, and it's complimentary, perhaps you have found the perfect system. However, while reviewing the software offered, please bear in mind, tip no. 2 again. Remember this slogan “No support, More headache” going forward.
ADDED VALUE FOR YOUR MONEY. That's a pretty cliche promise of many brands out there, but YOU as a consumer must be able to list down the values that are actually offered. If you struggle to write down the additional benefits provided, that phrase is a scam. Factor all your concerns in and compare them against the values you get for your dollars.
All in all, a little research won't hurt and definitely useful to your organization in the long run. You have more questions? Engage with me at tamy@fingertec.com and I’ll be there with you. Should you want to try out biometrics as a business, I can consult.

| Time is money |
Chances are if you’re a business owner, one of your biggest headaches that keep you in constant turmoil is how you plan to manage and monitor your employee’s time attendance. For plenty of small and medium sized businesses, it is sad to note that investing in top quality time and attendance system often takes a backseat to improving customer retention or finding new customer acquisition methods as most companies choose to bury their heads in the sand and pretend that everything is fine on the surface while ignoring the losses incurred by poor and ineffective time attendance management.

Now how’s that for a change?

Transformation That Reshapes Habitual Behavior
I wrote about Microsoft’s transformation last month after Satya Nadella was named the new CEO of Microsoft, but talked scantily about our own transformation even though we’re very much at the crossroad of our self-stirred transformation. Right. Why should I bother about transformation, even if Microsoft failed to transform? I should have minded my own business.
Some of my staff commented that our glory is still in progressive manner, and we don’t have external forces like Microsoft to push us; do we really need this transformation?
The Gist of Transformation
Microsoft has finally chosen Satya Nadella as its CEO, succeeding Steve Ballmer, who announced his retirement plan four months ago. Microsoft is indeed a fortunate one. Although it remains cocooned in its own glorious past; it still has the time and loads of cash to move forward. Unlike the not-so-smart-or-lucky Nokia and Blackberry, when the ‘smart’ storm swiped, they’ve been blown out. Yes, just like that!

Curbing Nonchalant Time Stealing the TimeTec Cloud Way
Honesty is apparently not
the best policy, definitely not in the working world because often times,
human resources department has to deal with dishonest employees with regards to time attendance and medical leaves causing company a lot of money. For an employee,
so what if he asked other fellow colleague to clock in for him and he'll show up an
hour later? Nobody will even notice that he's missing in that short hour. So,
what if he clocked in earlier and clocked out later than scheduled? When an
appointment with a client outside of the office is at 11, just inform the office that the
meeting is at 10 and go straight from home around 10 instead of checking into
the office first. Who’s going to check on you?
Advanced Access Control Market

| FingerTec Ingressus Controller |
When we planned a step forward by including control panels in our product line two years ago, a string of other considerations followed. This was unlike merely adding a new reader with improved features to our product line, even though on the surface business still runs as usual.
Control panels or controllers in an access control system are not like rain that drops onto a pond, stirs a ripple on its surface and settles thereafter. The controller as a major core component for the advanced access control system just wouldn’t align to fit into our existing business system, it’s like having a different stream of water that runs across the pond, a separate pathway is needed to contain the stream.

Why The Finger Scanner Is The Most Popular Biometric Technology
Biometric recognition technology uses a person's anatomical or behavioral characteristics as a method for accurate identification. It has advantages over ID cards and passwords because the individual must be physically present during the identification process. The technology was created to prevent impersonation and identity theft in an age where the internet and computing technology runs practically everything. So what makes fingerprinting an ideal method of identification?Fingerprints are absolutely and undeniably unique. We have the pattern of ridges on each fingertip that cannot be replicated by any simple means. Fingerprint classification has proven to have a high rate of success in identification in numerous applications. There are other forms of biometrics, such as DNA, but there are reasons it's not as feasible to use.
Although DNA is the most accurate form of identification, it can be easily acquired and used. So, in a sense, it has a higher potential for identity theft. Finger scanner technology also can be programmed to detect moisture and temperature so it will only allow access to a live present person.
Fingerprints are also very simple for users. The most common prints are the index finger and the thumb. Biometric time clocks can therefore be used very quickly and easily when employees are waiting to sign in and access the building. It is an easy process that does not detract any work time. The software will even track breaks for accurate listings of work hours.
The technology is non-invasive and it's safe. It works as an extra security measure without impeding on anybody's comfort level concerning privacy. It keeps that happy middle ground.

Biometrics Are A Huge Step Forward For Security and Identification
You may have noticed that in the last few years people have been jumping on the biometrics train. It makes business run smoother. It has multiple applications, from organization, to security. For example, a biometric time clock will check-in employees each morning and check them out as each day comes to a close. It can track breaks, it can organize schedules. It will do the work for you, and be able to give you accuracy for employee paychecks based on clocked hours. The fingerprint door locks keep offices and homes safe. They have a database with records of the accessible fingerprints.What we are seeing now is a rise in the complexity of these machines. Biometrics are the future for airport security and home security. With touch screen devices we will start seeing the fingerprint as a replacement for autograph, or at the bare minimum be an added security feature to coincide with our autographs. This is not science fiction. This is the future. Biometric technology can record fingerprints, facial structure, and iris patterns.
If you are going to stay updated with technology, biometrics are a start. Get your office a few fingerprint time clocks and keep a look out for the latest software.

Making Sure Salaries Are Accurate
Millions of employees in the US are not aware of the mistakes that are made when calculating their salaries. Think about the last time you actually went through the detailed list of the hours listed on your paycheck. But a monthly review will show at least one mistake from time to time. And those mistakes can often be avoided with better workplace technology.A good way to avoid these mistakes is having the right system in place. a proper employee clock in software that submits the clock in's directly to the payment software. Other solutions are available and can eliminate those mistakes that are made more often than people might hope they do.
Another way that technology has evolved is the introduction of the biometric time clock. This form of clock in software allows the employees to quickly sign in and make sure that their info is transferred directly to headquarters. This biometric system also can help make sure that the employees are the ones who are clocking in, and help their clock in routine become much faster and simpler.
These types of advances in the workplace are what helps the economy get smarter and better. the more companies utilize the innovations that come out every year, the better the entire system will be.

How Technology has Changed the Workplace
It will definitely be interesting to see the next step in time clock evolution. We will have to guess what could be the next step. Perhaps holograms of the employers welcoming the employees every morning? We'll have to wait and see.

How to Install Biometric Time Clocks
You first want to start with mounting your biometric time clock. This is easy to do on any wall. Pick good placement in your office where there is incoming and outgoing traffic, but not in a place where it's going to hold up other people trying to get by. Mounting is easy, as they come with mounting brackets.
Then you'll want to install the software to your main computer. Installation is as easy as following the prompts. You can also link the information to your payroll software. Once everything is properly installed, you'll need to record your employees' fingerprints. Pick a day to have everyone do this; send out an email, have a quick meeting, whatever you need to do to let everyone know to stop by the new time clock and record their print.
From there, you are all set to have an easy record of your employees comings and goings!
