Hi Guys,

Wondering if anyone can help.
I am looking for a number of bio metric time attendance machines which can be installed in to 2 fixed locations (joinery workshop and office) along with a number of construction sites all in London (The site units would ideally be addressed in order for these to go from site to site easily and then re named in the software)

To each location we will have a fixed network connection (temp connections to the construction sites) however we are looking for a central software program to monitor attendance times, which will also form time sheets for each operative which has been added to the system which would be around 100 - 200 at any one time.

Is anyone on here in this business and able to help?

Regards
Dafydd

These guys:

Have an approved installer list. Get them to put you the way of someone that can install you a couple of Ingersol Rand handprint readers to interconnect with their T&A software.

If you are stuck drop me a line I could sort it out for you. Based in Yorkshire but we could have a little jplly to the big smoke no problem smile

Just a word of caution.

We tried a biometric machine in a warehouse and admin environment. Generally, the soft fingered office workers could register in and out but the harder skinned hands of the manual workers were far more problematic. Ultimately, we resorted to swipe cards.

Worth trying to get a trial before committing.

We used a swipe card system on T5, seemed to work very well.

The opposite is actually the most common. People who handle paper a lot struggle to activate the finger print readers. We supply & install the readers & generally they are pretty poor. (My finger just can't be read & I use a code or card)

Cheers guys.
My worry is people 'might' swipe others in and out and wanted to avoid any issues with this happening.
I will defiantly try out the bio's prior to any order going ahead.

I've had specifically the ingersol rand readers on building sites with few if any issues. They are expensive but biometrics is a get what you pay for area for sure.
