Every company loses money in some way or another; after all, even the tightest ship can’t avoid the inevitable pinhole leak here and there. It’s really a question of where the leaks are and how large they are – as well as how well the crew of the ship is able to deal with these leaks when they do occur. However, some leaks are larger and most certainly avoidable. If you haven’t guessed by now, we’re not really talking about ships or you as the owner or manager of a company in your capacity as captain. What we’re here to talk about is one of the biggest money leaks any company deals with – employee time theft. Whether by accident or by design, it costs your company money but thankfully, there is a way to plug this particular leak once and for all and it’s as easy as deploying a new CS time clock. (more…)

If you’ve been following this space at all, you must be aware of the benefits of using an electronic CS clock and the advantages of deploying a biometric access control system. There is a lot that this new technology can offer your business, including large savings which continue year after year, with the initial investment in a new time clock and time and attendance software quickly paying for themselves. However, there are still many business owners and managers out there who are not quite convinced to take the plunge and adopt these new, money and time saving technologies yet – but that may be about to change.

There are some businesses who are well aware of what installing a new time clock and upgrading their existing time and attendance systems could do for them, but are worried about the size of the initial investment required. Now, as it happens, these systems are far less costly than you would probably suppose; and since they earn their keep rather quickly, it’s hard to see why every business hasn’t yet made the switch.

Having a biometric time clock can be a wonderful thing. These clocks allow you to accurately track your employee time and attendance, lighten the workload on your company’s human resource and bookkeeping departments, put a stop to the threat of employee time theft and provide many other benefits besides, especially when they’re combined into an even more powerful system along with attendance software and sophisticated biometric access control systems which make your company facilities secure.

As a testament to the state-of-the-art biometric recognition technology, the United States Government as well as many other European countries are now opting to implement it as a security feature and use smart card-technology as a standard with passports. Because recent advancements have made smart-card technology so effective (with little-to-no error), many foreign governments are finding it a superior way of obtaining accurate information on travelers coming to and from their countries.

The U.S. governments plans to issue “smart” passports, featuring embedded microchips that store a compressed image of the owner’s face. Designed to prevent tampering, the digital passports will include cryptographically signed digital images to guarantee their authenticity.
