Challenges
They were searching for a fool-proof solution that would help them in managing the Time-Attendance and overtime calculation. With offices spread over 14 locations in UAE, management of attendance data was a daunting task. Thus, centralised attendance data management and maintaining a complete record of their employees were a part of their key requirements. Moreover, their payroll processing deployed a software – RAMCO, wherein the attendance data was manually entered.
Solution
After a comprehensive discussion with the customer, Matrix offered a centralised platform – COSEC CENTRA, to manage all the data centrally. Door controllers – COSEC VEGA FAX installed in all the office entrances. These door controllers are integrated with the central platform that pushes the event data to the server. Furthermore, the Matrix platform is integrated with the payroll system – Ramco. All manual work for report generation was eliminated outrightly, simplifying the salary procedure.
Results
After implementing Matrix solutions, NBQ witnessed drastic changes while following their processes. Effortless attendance management of multiple locations from the Head Office was prominently one of them. The shift allocation and shift correction processes were streamlined. Their solution included some advanced features like customised attendance policy formation and real item alert on attendance related event & auto-scheduled reporting.
This, in turn, ensured efficient employee database management improving productivity.
