Many employers have difficulty tracking and maintaining a comprehensive record of when their employees are away from work, why they are away and keeping up with balances of their employees’ vacation and personal time. For most, its either excel spread sheets, which are cumbersome and greatly limited in scope of tracking and reports, or they simply use written paper files which are not easily searchable for specific information and take up tons of space.

I have been with Software Techniques for only a month now. My initial impression, after hearing from customers and using the solutions myself, is that every company with more than a handful of employees could save so much time, money and headaches if they simply took advantage of these robust and flexible solutions offered by Software Techniques . No matter your industry or number of employees Software Techniques is on the leading edge of technology in answering the growing needs of businesses to save money while effectively tracking their employees’ time, attendance and personnel records.

In a cover story for the New York Daily News, Democracy Now! co-host Juan Gonzalez reports New York City is “paying some 230 ‘consultants’ an average salary of $400,000 a year for a computer employee time & attendance tracking project that is seven years behind schedule and vastly over budget. The payments continue despite Mayor Bloomberg’s admission that the computerized timekeeping and payroll system—called CityTime—is ‘a disaster…’”

“…When you log into your computer, it punches you in for work that day. But it is a vast timekeeping and payroll system that is now verging on a billion dollars in cost and is not complete after ten years. But this is happening all around the country, as more and more governments are going to computerization. The costs that are being spent on these consultants, these private consultants, dwarf any kind of city salaries that ordinary workers are being paid.”

Don’t let this happen to you…

Tracking occurrences opens up a world of flexibility allowing an administrator to literally track anything at all. You can create an unlimited amount of occurrences and ultimately associate points with those occurrences. For example: Late without calling (5 pts.), Late with notification (3pts.), 90 Days Perfect Attendance (-5 pts.), and so on. Now, when these occur, they can be tracked on the SoftTime monthly calendar, are subject to multiple reporting options, and points can be tallied to end with certain results.

A certain amount of points = verbal warning
Next amount of points = written warning
Ultimately enough points would = grounds for termination

Points can also be set to ‘roll-off’ after any given amount of time.

You can create occurrences for anything you like: chronic lateness, leaving early, flat tires, chewing gum, missing quota, hitting a certain production goal - just to name a few.

Group Data Entry allows an administrator to select any range or group of individuals and do the following:

·         Make a group adjustment to employees’ allowed time off

·         Give all the members in a group the same day off

·         Mark a group occurrence w/ points

·         Write a group note for referencing

Group Data Entry will allow an administrator to:

• Assign special holidays per a given work group or location, i.e. different provinces (Canada), multiple offices across the globe, or union holidays (U.S.), etc.

• Plan/schedule group meetings, business trips, or training days for a select group of employees
• Globally add a Snow Day for every employee with one click of the mouse

And more…

So if the Annual Employee Picnic gets cancelled due to rain, you can log in to SoftTIME, delete the picnic holiday off of the calendar for the entire group, make a note stating why, make an adjustment offering the time-off as personal time banked, and even mark it as a 2 point bonus occurrence for the groups positive attitude displayed toward the much anticipated event.

What’s TimeKron Remote? Simple. Let’s break it down with a scenario.

##Begin Scenario##

Company: XYZ Building Corporation – They build houses for clients all across the United States.

XYZ Building Corporation (XYZBC for short) has a new client in Miami, FL, who needs a house built as soon as possible. XYZBC has several employees who will fly down to Miami to start the construction. One of those employees is Jim.

Jim is on his way to Miami to start the construction work. XYZBC wants Jim to log his project time as soon as he gets to the construction site.

How does Jim let XYZBC know when he gets to the construction site? Simple.

Jim pulls out his phone (let’s call it an IPhone) which has internet connection, and logs into TimeKronRemote.com. He sees a screen and logs in.

Jim Clocks into the job, and he’s ready for work.

After the day is finished, Jim is ready to leave the construction site. Jim jumps on his IPhone and goes back to TimeKronRemote.com. TimeKron Remote is smart enough to remember his login information, and it takes him directly to the Punch out screen.

Simple.

Wait, how does XYZ Building Corporation pull this information into TimeKron, which is a desktop application (for now – the web version coming)?

The HR Manager goes to his/her computer and clicks a button, which retrieves Jim’s punch information.

Simple.

##End Scenario##

As you can see, the keyword to this scenario is simplicity. From punching in and out, to retrieving information, we’ve made it easier and more efficient for companies to punch in and out from anywhere with an internet connection; laptop, IPhone, PDA, it doesn’t matter.

We’re taking project management one step farther with this application. We’re also launching several new products in 2009, such as SoftTIME Online, so stay tuned by subscribing to our newsletter. Who knows, we might let our subscribers get a sneak peek of our upcoming products (hint, hint ).
