No More Punching

A family-owned independent grocer implemented a sophisticated time and attendance technology solution to drastically cut the time and effort once needed to assemble payroll, track and report on employee labor hours, and interface with the payroll service.

 

At one time, automated time and attendance systems were only available to the largest organizations, but InfoTronics’ systems (www.infotronics.com) can be configured to address the needs of small business.

Business Challenge

The family-owned grocer in South Carolina spent countless hours each week just tracking the time and attendance for their 65 employees, and preparing payroll.

Project Goals

• Move away from cumbersome paper punch cards and outdated time clocks
• Develop an effective way to archive employee labor data for any possible future litigation
• Eliminate hand-assembled pay period totals which were error-prone
• Automate the process as much as possible, cost-effectively
• Put into place an improved process that can handle an expanding employee base.

Solution

Attendance Enterprise from InfoTronics, Inc., a web-enabled system designed to automate employee time tracking and scheduling. Attendance Enterprise meets the needs of diverse organizations, including retail grocers, and is cost-effective, scalable and easily deploys into existing Microsoft computing environments.

The store upgraded to a proximity reader time clock for ease of employee punching and needed no other additional systems, as the InfoTronics solution installed directly on their PC.

Lessons to Share

Attendance Enterprise lets the grocer operate far more effectively. Less time is spent correcting time cards and assembling payroll. As the store owner and manager explains, “Automating this process frees us up to handle more meaningful tasks. Payroll is completed faster than before, and we look forward to tapping into other features.”
