Time tracking software
systems are providing invaluable help to small and medium sized businesses in the
UK. These workforce management solutions provide numerous benefits to local
businesses such as automation of the time keeping process, elimination of time
theft and human error along with various other benefits. There are two ways a
business can go about implementing the time keeping system: host it internally,
or take advantage of cloud computing. In this post, we shall examine why UK
businesses stand to benefit from cloud based systems such as the uAttend
solutions from Access-To-Time.
The
Cost of Time and Attendance Systems
Systems other than uAttend’s
cloud based UK time clock are usually considerably more expensive as there are
hefty licensing fees involved. In addition, there can be various hidden charges
levied by the service providers without any warning. Furthermore, a business
has to pay for each software upgrade which further adds to the cost of the
system. uAttend’s time and attendance software systems are without any annual
fees, upgrade fees, or support fees.
A UK business can implement any
of uAttend’s time tracking systems with an extremely affordable onetime cost of
the hardware side (actual clocking device or terminal) along with negligible
monthly subscription costs.
Implementing
the System
Since uAttend systems are cloud-based,
entrepreneurs do not have to fret about downloading or installing the time tracking software. All of the uAttend time keeping systems are available with
simple “Plug N Play” functionality allowing their customers to get the systems
implemented within a couple of hours. Once you have installed the hardware
device, simply connect it with the internet and your system will start
recording accurate to the minute employee clock in and out times.
Cost
of System Accessories
Internally hosted systems require
a dedicated PC to be used as the server where the software is installed and all
the time and attendance information is stored. The cost of a dedicated server
further adds to the cost of licensing making on-premise systems an expensive
proposition. In addition, the recorded data can also be vulnerable to theft and
manipulation whereas data stored at remote servers is immune from such
problems.
Taking all of these aspects into
consideration, it is quite obvious that time clock UK systems from uAttend are by far a
better option than the on-premise time and attendance systems.
