TOUCHtime is a state of the art time recording system that uses the fingertip to identify who is on or off the premises.

Each employee registers a transaction on their arrival or departure using the scanner. TOUCHtime takes those transactions and uses them to provide an up to date fire report, key personnel report and the time card report, which adds up the hours worked into standard pay.

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

TOUCHtime is a cost effective system that will pay for itself in a very short time. Absolutely positive identification that will help you stop paying for employees who are not there.

TOUCHtime is the solution you have always wanted to combat employee fraud - by using the unique characteristics of an employee's fingertip to identify the user. TOUCHtime ensures that your workforce will no longer be able to clock or sign in for anyone else.

TOUCHtime does not store fingerprints - only the individual features of the finger as a way of identifying the user. (See Privacy).

This is an "as it happens" listing of the employee's time transactions sent to hard copy. The report is designed to be used in conjunction with a locally attached dot matrix printer so that in the event of a fire the printout can be immediately collected and taken to the appropriate fire muster point for roll call.

The report lists the names and status of the employees along with the date and time of each transaction. More than one fire report module can be active so that you can have several of these reports spread around your network at strategic points and exit routes.

Networking features of the TOUCHtime System

1. Staff's fingertip configuration is registered in the TOUCHtime secure database on the hard drive of the PC to which the scanner is attached. Individuals can be registered on more than one PC.

2. When the member of staff touches the scanner the recognition software searches the local secure database for a record of the employee' fingertip and either rejects or accepts. If accepted it records the time of acceptance.

3. Other reports can run on the same local PC or on any other PC on the network.

4. The TOUCHtime program can update itself with all the transaction records on request or automatically. When running automatically the information can be made to update in virtual real-time.

5. Having updated, the TOUCHtime software will decide if the transaction is an "IN" or an "OUT" and add it to the transactions record for that member of staff.

6. The same time transaction can also be automatically printed to printer on any PC running TOUCHtime Fire Report.

7. The new transaction will be used to update the employee's status on the "Who's in" Key Personnel report and display.

8. Using the automatic functions you can produce a time card report showing the fully calculated employee hours at the click of a button.

Frequently asked questions

How many TOUCHtime terminals can I connect on my network?
You can have as many PC's as you like running the TOUCHtime system but only one scanning terminal per PC.

Typical Network Configuration
In a networked environment you could have the Key Personnel Display on your reception desk so that the receptionist is able to route telephone calls according to whether or not the desired employee is at work. You could also have the Fire Report running on a PC near to the Fire Exit and Assembly Point so that the hard-copy report is available immediately in the event of a fire drill or emergency evacuation. The Time Card Reporting Software would be running on the Personnel Manager's PC in his/her office. The TOUCHtime terminal(s) would be attached permanently to PCs near to the point at which you wanted your staff to clock in/out for work. This might be in the staff room for example or at the area where they actually perform their work. The employee's time transactions are collected by the automatic polling feature and distributed across the network transparently.

What kind of network do I need?
To use the TOUCHtime software on a network you need any Microsoft Windows compatible server-based network (this includes Microsoft Networks, Novell and most others). The software's communications does NOT require any special transport mechanism such as TCP/IP or IPX/SPX - if your network supports Microsoft Windows then TOUCHtime should be able to run on it. There is also no need for any complicated installations and configurations - no plug and pray, we use a method that is completely "one click", transparent and supportable without the need to involve technical staff requirement.
