Biometric technology has advanced significantly over the last few years. Fingerprint and hand recognition systems are now used across the world in airports, financial institutions and educational establishments to positively identify individuals.
Manufacturers and office based businesses are also beginning to see the positive uses of Biometrics to monitor their employee’s time and attendance within the workplace.
CaptureIT Time and Attendance from Vizual is a market leading solution and continues to offer business so much more than a simple clocking in system.
Martin Thomas, Marketing Manager with Vizual said “Once an employee has clocked in using a Biometric Terminal their attendance data is captured and downloaded to the CaptureIT software. The software then enables Managers to see who has clocked in or is late or absent. This data occurs in real time so if there is a shortage of skills in one department appropriate cover can be arranged.”
“The other benefits of CaptureIT include a complete absence management system, a printed fire roll call which complies with the Health and Safety regulations, an automatic transfer of attendance data to payroll software such as Sage which means human error is eliminated, a comprehensive set of management reports including the Bradford factor, management of flexitime schemes.”
“Together with integrated Access Control, Payroll and Job Costing modules this all in one solution eliminates manual time sheet entry, improves efficiency and increases productivity.
CaptureIT provides an all in one solution for monitoring and reporting on attendance using Biomtric technology meaning that reliability of attendance data is guaranteed.
There are older style clocking in systems which are basic punch clock machines. These are open to abuse by employee’s who would clock in their friends if they were running late for a shift. Biometrics rules that out completely as the employee requires their fingerprint and that cannot be replicated. Combined with a pin code set for the individual employee it is impossible for anyone other than the employee to clock themselves in.
Martin continued “Vizual will continue to develop and promote biometric technology as it has seen an increase in popularity and is seen as the future of clocking in systems.”
