Does anyone have a time clock that pulls information from multiple locations (we have 2 stores, 20 miles apart), that would work well for our 45 employee staff as we grow over the next few years, which won't be $3K+?
All information (good or bad) is appreciated! |

Are internet connections available at each of your stores? If so, a web based time collection system will likely address your situation. Many vendors exist in the marketplace, and without knowing your budget, usability, and scalability concerns, I can not give you an adequate recommendation. However, I can expand on web based time collection for those interested.
Generally, there are two major ways industry collects time from multiple locations over the web to a centralized server. One is to allow the user to login to the system (usually via a web browser like internet explorer) and click a clock button. Another is to accept input from a local badge reader, biometric finger print, software program, etc. and send that information to the system afterwards. The first option is often less expensive because it doesn't require purchasing of specialized hardware, and it can be easily deployed to many locations. A disadvantage is that if your internet connection is down, your employees cant clock in. The second option is more expensive, but also more robust.

ADP has a web based time and attendance system that is pretty cost effective. It come in around your $3K price requirement. Also these systems are often able to reduce your labor costs by far more the $3K per year. If you have further questions let me know. I'd be happy to help any way that i can. |

Jessie,
Are you still in search of a time clock solution for your company? There are various technologies available that will provide this solution, including time clocks that are polled via modem, ethernet connections (if they're currently networked) or entering directly into an application via a web browswer. I work for a consulting company that specializes in helping companies analyze their current business situation and determine the right solution for their business, which sometimes includes software solutions but sometimes NOT. Please let me know if I can be of any assistance to you. Tim Bernier Workforce Insight tbernier@workforceinsight.com |
