Biometric access solutions firm Bodet have developed the new Timebox, a new time and attendance monitoring system specifically designed for organisations of up to 100 employees.Bodet has said that with the new Timebox, employees can clock in and out using a proximity badge, keyfob or a biometric fingerprint detector.As each employee clocks in or out, the associated timings are stored on a database. Automating the clocking procedure not only saves time for employees, but also prevents the abuse that often occurs with paper-based time sheets.The data can be retrieved using a portable USB drive, or sent directly to the central server through an existing wired network or via Wi-Fi. The intuitive plug and play software generates attendance reports so payroll staff don't have to re-enter data. These time and attendance reports can be exported as Excel files, which means manual entry errors are avoided.The software generates reports so that current and historic attendance information can be accessed at the press of a button.The clocking terminal incorporates a 4.3″ touch-sensitive screen which presents an intuitive display panel. On-screen applications allow terminal users to consult their last four clockings, open an approved internet website and read a document. Staff can access these functions as they clock in or out, or at any other time during the working day.Bodet's managing director, Richard Manby said, “The new Timebox is a comprehensive time management system which has been specially designed for small and medium companies across a wide range of industries including manufacturing, transport, care homes, call centres and customer service centres. Automating clocking in saves time for staff while ensuring accuracy and efficiency for the organisation as a whole. For customers who require additional time and attendance, access control and visitor management functionality, Bodet has developed its Kelio solution.”
