Manufacturing plant chooses Directive to modernize Time and Attendance system with Bio-Metrics solution.
Background
Astrocom Electronics, Inc. is a manufacturing plant based in Colliersville, New York that produces headsets, cables, microphones, earphones, connectors and switches for such industries as the space program and the military.Astrocom takes pride in their ability to provide superior customer service and high-quality innovative products on time. Directive has provided various IT services for Astrocom since 1996.
The Challenge
With 125 employees Astrocom management realized that the Kronos® time clock and badge system they were using to track employee time was no longer effectively meeting their company needs. Astrocom had two choices, either upgrade their existing time clock which was an expensive option, or replace the entire system with something more economical that would still meet their needs.
The Solution
Directive researched and weighed the benefits of several packages and proposed Time in a Box with a Biometric Time Clock from Stromberg®. Stromberg's solutions are installed in more than 10,000 client locations and have earned recognition from companies all over the world.
Results
The old time clock software ran on an older pc with DOS. Now the software is installed on a Windows workstation and the data resides on the Server. The new software eliminated the need for another pc to host the software.
Ease of Integration
Time in a Box has an export utility for ADP Payroll. There is no longer a need for double entry. Human Resources is now able to review time cards and after approving them export the data and easily import it in to ADP.
Eliminate Buddy Punching
Stromberg’s Biometric clock uses the employees fingerprint and PIN number. No badges or swiping needed. Employees simply enter their PIN number and place their finger on the special dry, clean, acrylic window. Fast, clean, and easy. Punches are automatically recorded and transferred to the software.
Real-time Information
Time in a Box provides Time and Attendance management with real-time information necessary to make informed decisions that can drastically reduce payroll costs. The system tracks and reports time, attendance, jobs, and departments. The extensive reports include exception, missing punch, tardy and daily hours.
