• Heiploeg Suriname N.V. Scores a Big Catch with FingerTec System
Established in the sunny Republic of Suriname, Heiploeg Suriname was a small fishing company that was acquired by Dutch international shrimp importer Heiploeg International B.V in 2000. As of today, Heiploeg Suriname N.V. has over 350 employees that help operate and maintain its 12 twin-rigged otter trawls which run all year round, targeting Seabob shrimp (Xiphopenaeus kroyeri), a small white tropical shrimp that is abundant in the warm coastal waters of Suriname and Guyana. In 2011, Heiploeg Suriname was the first tropical shrimp fishery to obtain the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certification as the first tropical shrimp fishery that promotes sustainable and well-managed fisheries. The MSC certification marked an important milestone for Heiploeg Suriname as their products now carry the MSC ecolabel trademark, identifying their origin from a sustainable source.
 
Even with all the snazzy achievements and certifications under their belt, it was surprising to learn that Heiploeg Suriname previously did not utilize an automated clocking system to manage their employee’s attendance schedules. For many of Heiploeg Suriname’s employees, working in the fishing industry meant that they had to often work in specific shifts and expected to put in overtime and extended hours to ensure the that the trawlers run like clockwork. After searching high and low for an end-all solution to their problems, esteemed FingerTec reseller DSTN Suriname decided to step in and proposed to Heiploeg Suriname an offer that they cannot refuse. The powerful capabilities of the TCMS V2 allows for simple and hassle-free centralization, management and storage of time attendance information that caters to multiple and flexible clocking schedules. The advantages of TCMSV2 was that it allowed Heiploeg Suriname to do away with tedious manual attendance report generation and provides easy storage of time attendance information into a shared database.
 
 
Since its installation of FingerTec’s TCMS V2 software, the Heiploeg Suriname management have sung nothing but praises for the FingerTec TCMS V2 software saying that it is a super software system that has almost all the options imaginable to cater to the complex working hours of its employees without a hitch. With their confidence in Fingertec products boosted, Heiploeg Suriname plans to invest in other FingerTec access control and time attendance products soon.

Bundled with the TCMS V2, RIR’s management had their work simplified as they no longer needed to track their employees using a separate system. The integration of TA100C and TCMS V2 made it easy for their human resources and payroll department to extract the logs and convert it into presentable reports.

The name Kinokuniya conveys the meaning "Store of Kii Province" and it is recognized as AsianBasis Sdn Bhd in Malaysia, serving as the online retail division of the Books Kinokuniya group. With more than 80 stores in Japan and overseas, Kinokuniya stays ahead of its competitors by stocking up on over 20,000 book titles from both the Japanese and international publications as well as art books, magazines, DVDs, CDs and stationery.
 
The Malaysian Kinokuniya outlet is located in Suria KLCC, a prestigious shopping mall located in a high volume commercial area which sees an average of 100,000 visitors daily. As such, keeping track of the attendance and hours worked by each of the staff was proving to be a challenge to the administrative department. As a result, they chose to meet up with one of our dedicated resellers, PC Mart Sdn Bhd to decide on a suitable time attendance solution.
 
Subsequently, they chose to use a fingerprint device over a proximity badge, favouring its distinctive features such as easy data management and effortless system implementation. Staff of Kinokuniya highly approved the TA102C, remarking the ease of usage of the time attendance system and needing less time to clock in and out of work each day. Previously, they are using a manual clock and this has resulted in issues such as long queues to punch in for work and cases of buddy punching.

Kinokuniya also expressed its satisfaction towards the complimentary software that is bundled with the TA102C. The TCMS V2 automates more than half the work that previously needed to be completed manually. For example, prior to this administration will take a great amount of time as administration to track the attendance of each staff individually. This issue has since been banished with TCMS V2 as reports can be generated without hassle rendering the process of reviewing the overall staff performance a breeze.

PC Mart Sdn Bhd is a retail shop specializing in providing business software for the small and medium enterprises (SME) markets based in Kuala Lumpur.

YSG Hubs Ltd is under YSG Group of Companies headquartered in Lagos, the capital city of Nigeria.
 
In their effort to manage discipline and productivity of hub attendants, the YSG management has decided to deploy an attendance system that could meet those objectives. The initial installation involved 21 units of FingerTec TA200 Plus PoE with Wifi that have been installed in all YSG Hublets throughout Nigeria to monitor the attendance of their Hublets’ stand managers. The biometrics technology helps to promote discipline and honesty when it comes to attendance and the tokenless concept of biometrics system also helps to reduce the cost of the management and provides effectiveness throughout. With wifi installed, the data from all the FingerTec TA200 Plus installed at those Hublets is automatically transmitted to the TCMS V2 software centralized at its headquarters in Lagos for the management to receive all the precise reports about the employees stationed at the Hublets. Hence, further analysis and improvements could be initiated from the reports/data obtained. YSG resorted to Face ID 2 for their operation and maintenance office in Lagos to mirror the luxury bus services they offer to their clients as well.
 
 
 
Nevosys Limited is the company that is in charge of FingerTec’s implementation in YSG Hubs Ltd. Established in 2010, Nevosys Limited is a system integrator handling smart home systems and access control in Nigeria.
