ITS launch new access control software at IFSEC 2008

The IFSEC exhibition at the Birmingham NEC 12^th-15^th May presents the ideal opportunity for Intelligent Time Systems to launch their ground-breaking new access control software.

 What is unique about the product is that resellers can brand the software as their own. It will also integrate fully with a wide range of HID hardware such as the VERTX network door controller and iClass contact-less smart card.

 ITS have been working in close partnership with HID to develop an exclusive access control solution that unlike any other software of its type can be branded for resale. Another key feature of this software is that it is web-based, enabling the client to remotely manage sites, building, doors and people. Presenting with HID on the HID stand, Intelligent Time Systems will be running demonstrations of the product, giving resellers the opportunity to view the software and its benefits

Marketing Manager Clare Gardner says…

“With nearly 32,000 people attending with the specific intention of identifying security solutions appropriate to their needs, this is a great opportunity to launch our new product”

 Award-winning partnership     

 In December 2007, HID presented Intelligent Time Systems with their prestigious Partner Of The Year award. This is an exclusive award, held only by ITS – who are also the first ever HID partner to receive it.

 Managing Director of Intelligent Time Systems Mark Nutter said:

“We are really excited to be recognised as HID’s partner of the year, we have always had a great relationship, but it is a real honour to receive such recognition.”

 With over 800 exhibiting companies and eight product areas, IFSEC is renowned as the most topical and up-to-date conference for the security systems industry. You can visit ITS and see the new software in demonstration at the HID stand situated in Access Control and Security Solutions (bottom hall 6).

Balfour Beatty reduce costs and meet new safety requirements with Tru-Time from ITS

                                                                                                                                                                                                      Leading construction company choose Tru-Time rostering solution to meet stringent workforce safety requirements for Network Rail’s renewal programme.

 Balfour Beatty Rail have chosen Tru-Time Time and Attendance system from Intelligent Time Systems to schedule a workforce of nearly 600 personnel qualified to work on a renewal programme for its client Network Rail. The company is using Tru-Time with a bespoke rostering application designed specifically by ITS, that will link both with Tru-Time and Balfour Beatty’s internal costing and operations system. Balfour Beatty expects to see reduced costs through efficient rostering of employees working on the Network Rail renewal programme, reducing overtime required and ensuring that the allocation of staff meets strict safety regulations and working directives.

Jamie Henderson, IT Manager at Balfour Beatty Rail commented;
“We went through a full product assessment phase and felt that ITS’ solution was the best technological fit for our requirements. We do not follow the usual rostering or T & A requirements, and so we challenged the solution providers to meet our requirements quite specifically...

 ...ITS’ solution best enabled us to access information easily and to keep tight controls on HR information as well as ensuring staff are paid accurately. With an estimated spend of over £100m on our subcontractor workforce it is vital that we manage costs and get best value from our resources.”

Numatic chooses ITS for Time & Attendance solution

              Numatic International Ltd, the manufacturer of domestic, commercial and industrial cleaning equipment has selected the Tru-Time time and attendance solution from Intelligent Time Systems Ltd (ITS), for use at its headquarters in the south west of England.

The organisation - known for its famous ‘Henry’ vacuum cleaner, chose Tru-Time to monitor attendance and manage HR processes for its 700 staff. Since implementing the system, Numatic has enjoyed improved efficiencies and time saved on both HR and T&A issues.

 Numatic required a solution to monitor attendance of growing staff on its mainsite, which has been developed to support new semi-automated production lines and warehousing. Following a detailed evaluation of six products (from an initial 25 shortlist), the company selected the solution from ITS Ltd for its flexibility, broad functionality and excellent references.

Numatic uses Tru-time both to report on historical data and access ‘real-time’ information, providing an up-to-the-minute snapshot of employees in the workplace. The T & A  related information can be used by cost centre, department or allocated to jobs, enabling Numatic managers to monitor employee costs effectively. The team have also found the additional HR module invaluable - the payroll is integrated with the Time and Attendance system, enabling it to be processed faster and more efficiently.

 Paul Manley, Manager of the project team at Numatic International said; “Prior to implementing ITS’ solution, we had to collate paper records and run through spreadsheets every Monday morning for the payroll. Now each supervisor has the information they need readily to hand in minutes. We can also track holidays easily at the click of a button, rather than having to trawl through clocking in cards. Having more accurate information at our managers’ fingertips enables us to identify where they may be issues and reward employees for high attendance, which has proven highly motivational.”        www.numatic.co.uk
