What ALTO does

ALTO is a PORTABLE time and attendance system that not only calculates the hours worked, but will also tell you which employees are on your premises. The ALTO terminal can be used in offices, factories or in vehicles, alternatively it can also be hardwired to a P.C. for real-time operation.

Employees only have to swipe their badge through the terminal reader to register a transaction on their arrival or departure. ALTO takes those transactions and uses them to provide an up to date Fire report, Key Personnel Display and the time card report.

You can also add, modify or delete those transactions if you need to.

The Key Personnel Display shows on your PC screens in real time - who is on or off the premises. You can have this displaying on every PC in your company so anyone can see who is 'in' or 'out'. This helps the receptionist see who is out thereby saving wasted time trying to put through abortive calls and the workshop manager see who is in without having to search the shopfloor.


The Fire Report gives you greater confidence by allowing an instant roll call if required.

ALTO adds up the hours worked and sorts them into standard pay and overtime. Overtime can be calculated by timeband, daily or weekly. You can name the overtime rates to suit you.

Ease of use
Setting up and configuring ALTO to work for your company is a simple process. Enrolling employees takes seconds and configuring the reports is a simple process, using 'drag and drop' functionality.

Nothing is 'hard-set' in the system. If you are not happy with the results of your reports, you can simply modify the configuration of the reports or amend the time transactions and re-launch the report. The reporting within the system is extremely fast and accurate.

Export to payroll and/or other database applications
ALTO is capable of exporting all of the employee's hours, including break deductions. The export is a built in feature, so the software has total control of what to export.

Links available to Sage payroll and Sage Payroll Professional
Using our Paystandard Payroll Link program, or any other payroll Link program of your choice, you can import the figures you want into your payroll system. Paystandard supports Sage Payroll and is 100% efficient & accurate.

Extra Terminals and how ALTO handles them
The reporting software could be on one computer on a network. Other PCs anywhere on that same network may have up to 10 ALTO terminals connected to each one using our RS485 converter and in any event you can still have as many remote sites (non-dedicated terminals) as you wish. The PC's do not need to be turned on until you require to collect the transactions from the ALTO terminal.

The only limitations are the amount of serial ports available on your PC(s).

Key Personnel Display

The software provides a 'live' on screen presentation of who is in and who is out.

Remote site capability

e-mail the data to another office for processing.
