We offer a wide range of data collection solutions to suit your needs, from traditional clocking in terminals to biometric scanners.
We recommend and supply hardware manufactured by HID and ATS – two of the largest manufacturers of data collection hardware in the world. WFM has built a solid, long term relationship with both providers and contributes heavily to the continuing development of the hardware they supply. We have developed a unique FMS solution which manages the communication to/from and processing of received clocking’s from these data collection devices.
WFM only works with leading hardware providers and our selection process and expertise gives our clients peace of mind, knowing that we have sourced the most reliable, easy to use and robust hardware the market can provide. Our data collection devices are usually contained within steel or toughened plastic mouldings, which are lockable in order to protect the integrity of the hardware.
The hardware we use has a less than 0.5% failure rate over 10 years and a battery backup and extended memory are also provided on most hardware solutions to eliminate system failure in the event of power or network loss.
Time and Attendance Devices
Time and attendance terminals can give you a wealth of information. Staff start and end times, the time and duration of breaks taken and absences. The data collected on the terminals can feed directly into your chosen HR and payroll systems, dramatically cutting down on administration time. Time and Attendance terminals are ideal for companies with more than 50 employees on a single site. For sites with less than 50 employees, we often recommend using telephone clocking or web-based clocking as a more cost-effective alternative. We are proud to supply a variety of terminals in with a range of different shapes and sizes and functionality. They are also available as normal, vandal resistant units or IP65 rated waterproof units.
The Maximus terminal
Maximus Time and Attendance terminals are state-of-the-art network appliances designed for greater flexibility of use and function, complete field upgradeability, keypad and function customisation, varied auto-ID readers, biometrics, and more!
Maximus continues the legacy of ATS by maintaining the highest level of quality and reliability – not to mention the most robust terminal in the business thanks to its die-cast aluminium housing.
Waterproof Terminals
Maximus Severe Duty Time and Attendance terminals combine all the strengths of the regular Maximus terminal but also feature environmentally sealed protection with a NEMA 4X rated enclosure and IP65 certification.
Designed for those who demand a feature-rich, waterproof clocking terminal that works in harsh environments with dust and water-tight seals.
All of our terminals feature cutting-edge technology: plug and play, web services, open standards, complete field upgrade-ability, keypad and function customisation, varied auto-ID readers and more.
Nohmad Mobile Time and Attendance
Cost-effective and flexible to install with a simple interface, the Nohmad provides a snapshot of where the users are at any given moment using built-in GPRS technology.
Nohmad portable finger print clocking terminalNohmad terminals bring together a range of technologies, with options for biometric or button clocking combined with GPRS wireless functionality. This GPRS functionality allows the Nohmad to be installed on mobile or remote sites, or sites, where an established IT infrastructure, is not available.
In the event of a GPRS network communication error, the Nohmad will store the data internally and send it to your servers when a connection is re-established.
Biometric Terminal Options
Accutouch fingerprint attendance terminal will be configured to suit your industry needs. There’s no need to worry about dirty, wet, dry or damaged fingerprints either – Accutouch can handle it.
Our durable fingerprint attendance terminal benefits from:
Multispectral imaging optical sensor
Shatter-resistant IP65 sensor
Fast tap-and-go user interface
No loss of performance over broad temperature range
Biometric Terminal Considerations
Recording information using a biometric terminal is very sensitive procedure and getting the right terminal for your environment is the key to success. Over the years our team has gained a wealth of knowledge using different technologies and are on hand to recommend the best technology for you business.
Typically, clients should consider:
- The cleanliness of the environment/employees and if any contaminants may affect the terminal.
- Hygienic issues in healthcare or medical environments
- Social and cultural acceptance of storing fingerprint and biometric data.
Mobile Clocking
Turn your employee’s smartphones into powerful and portable remote workforce management tools. Intelligent Collect (iCollect) enables your employees to log their time and attendance by clocking in and out, change task and much more from their smart phone or tablet.
Remote Workforce Management
From site visit records to expenses claims, your employees can use iCollect to capture photos, signatures and view location tags to record their work. The fully customisable app allows you to create the data capture forms that you require, collecting the data your business needs.
Flexible Form Creation
Collect offers you fully flexible and customisable forms so that you can capture the data your business requires. Be it requiring signatures to verify work has been completed by a field-engineer, or progress photos of a job, all of this can be easily collected.
NFC Enabled
iCollect can be used to maximise data collection, in the easiest way possible. Using NFC enabled phones, employees can swipe their phones against NFC chips, giving real-time reporting in iTime. This solution is ideal for mobile and field-workers such as cleaners and security guards, who must complete a daily route that needs to be recorded. This functionality can also be utilised by lone workers who are required to report on their movements throughout their working day.
Location, Location
Know exactly where your employees are. Using a combination of Near Field Communication (NFC), GPS and i-beacons, our app can identify the location of the worker, along with the traditional time data. This technology can be used to report more detailed information on a location and job, ideal for use by remote workers who carry out site visits or make deliveries.
Using the mobile clocking functionality, managers can check the location of staff when they clock-in and out using the real-time data provided in collaboration with Google Maps.
Telephone Clocking
Telephone clocking offers an easy-to-use and cost-effective way of clocking for remote workers. Telephone clocking allows managers to track their employees, regardless of their geographical location while using the existing business phone line infrastructure.
Integrating state-of-the-art Intel hardware with our Intelligent Software interface, our iTime telephone clocking function is able to use any type of phone line and be scaled to cope with an unlimited number of simultaneous incoming calls.
If you require large numbers of employees to be simultaneously clocking in, our software can easily be configured to use multiple phone lines.
What is telephone clocking?
Telephone clocking is a simple and efficient method for clocking remote employees in and out of a job or activity on a customer’s site. Using a landline, an employee dials a dedicated number when arriving or leaving the site and performs a series of steps.
