Benefits of Tracking Time and Attendance

A high level summary of the benefits of tracking time and attendance.

The TreeRing Time Enterprise product takes a significant leap in workforce software. It takes advantage of the Internet’s global reach and on-demand communication capabilities and is especially efficient at tracking employees at remote locations and sharing global information. While a variety of data capture tools can be used in the field, the application – all setups, editing, reporting, and administration functions – are accessed through a Web browser.

The benefits of this technology are far reaching:

• Efficient software distribution: Using common major browsers, users just log on to access new or updated applications. System administrators no longer have to spend hours at each location loading applications on individual machines.

• Low cost investment: In Internet/Intranet environments, the standard Internet Explorer (IE 10.0 or greater) browser shipped with Microsoft operating systems is all that is required. You can also use Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. Intranet-based companies can use their existing network systems without further hardware implementation.
• Track real time information: Track real time up-to-the-minute information on a project-by-project basis. Data from the time clocks in the field can be transferred using TCP/IP connections, either through the LAN or an Internet connection. eTimeClock can be used from virtually anywhere in the world. TeleTrak works with any phone, including cell phones.
• Reduced learning curve: The browser interface provides intuitive navigation and graphical assistance. TreeRing Time Enterprise’s data-driven design and dynamic text allows each client’s viewing of the program to be specific to the individual tasks for which they are responsible, decreasing the learning curve. Online help is always available through the program interface.
• Simple navigation: Whether it is text, graphics, documents, or animation, the nature of the Web allows information to be presented in a format that is easy to comprehend. Administrators can easily specify what information each location and each client can view.
• Operational efficiency: All data resides on a centralized database server, making the instant update of information easy. Administrators can get up-to-the-minute technical support assistance, download files or updates, and access help while online. Using a centralized system such as this helps keep the support costs down.
• Employee self service: Employees can easily access the system to receive up-to-date reports on time worked, schedules, and attendance information. Confidential information can be restricted for each user. Employees can also log on to certify their time sheets or check their time off balances.
• Dynamic labels: The capability to change, without custom programming, the names of the labor tracking categories on every form and report to reflect industry nomenclature or language preference is built in to the application.
• Customizable: TreeRing Time permits the creation or modification of processes and reports. Users can add their own menus, links, and Web pages to the application.
• Interface: TreeRing Time Enterprise is easy to navigate, with a data-driven menu bar at the top of the screen. It works just like a regular Web site.
• Help and Support: Online help, technical support, and file updates makes maintenance easy.
• Scalable technology: Designed to facilitate the ongoing changes brought on by today’s restructuring, merging, and growth, TreeRing Time Enterprise makes it easy to add new locations, features, hardware, and security access rights. Any new location can simply log on to access the application. Additional dedicated servers can be added to scale the application.
