Mildmay Uganda Maximizing Efficiency With R3
 |
| |
 |
| |
| Mildmay Uganda (MUg), formerly Mildmay International in Uganda, is a national Non-Governmental Organization established in Uganda in 1998 as a Centre of Excellence for provision of comprehensive HIV & AIDS prevention, care, treatment and training services. Overtime, Mildmay Uganda has evolved and diversified its services specializing in delivery of comprehensive healthcare including Treatment Services; Health Systems Strengthening; Other Complementary Social Services; Health Training and Education; and Research.
|
| |
 |
| |
| Mildmay Uganda’s core programmes are concentrated in 16 districts of Central Uganda with support from PEPFAR through the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). In the new Strategic Plan (2013 - 2018), the organization is gradually expanding its program reach in other areas of Uganda. Consequently, the number of employees within the organization has increased to over 100 individuals and Mildmay Uganda soon realized that their manual time attendance system would not be suitable to manage the growth of their employees.
Through FingerTec’s reseller in Uganda, Logix Technical Solution, Mildmay Uganda settles upon R3, the latest biometrics door access and time attendance product from FingerTec, which combines modern technologies, great design and amazing functions all in one device. Not only that, with multiple methods of verification such as fingerprint, card and password, R3 provides convenience at its best to busy users. With R3, life gets more exciting and secured with keyless door access solution for your life’s convenience.
Since the installation of FingerTec’s R3, the HR department of Mildmay Uganda is very pleased with the results provided by R3 so much so that the organization ensured that five of their other remote Mildmay operation centres are also installed with FingerTec TA units; together with plans to roll it out to the rest of the site in the near future.

However with that large amount of employees as well as without any rotational shifts in placed, the organization is left with no choice but to allocate much of their HR/Admin department’s time in terms of inputting, collecting and managing of staffs’ attendance data for payroll processing, which is usually carried out on sheets of papers, and as such, often complicating matters. With this at hand, the agency decided to seek FingerTec’s Nigeria reseller, Meed Networks Ltd. for a time attendance system that could solve the following issues such as employee theft, access of unauthorized personnel and let’s not forget, the tedious collection of attendance data. PPPRA soon chose FingerTec H2i as the primary solution to their predicament.

The project will not only offer faster, safer and more comfortable road connectivity to the people, but also provide more efficient infrastructure and logistic network for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) throughout Sabah.
The company, Borneo Highway PDP Sdn Bhd (BHP) wanted a system that could trace the attendance of their staffs and at the same time increase the security within their working areas as their previous installation: standalone door access could not provide the features they require. As such, BHP upgrades to FingerTec R3 with R2c and Ingress software, which was acquired from AMTC Sdn Bhd, our reseller in Sabah since 2005.
R3 is the latest biometrics door access and time attendance product from FingerTec, which combines modern technologies, great design and amazing functions in one. Multiple methods of verification which includes fingerprint, card and password are available in R3, thus providing both convenience and security to the company. The fingerprint template capacity of an R3 is more than enough for a company like BHP as one R3 can contain up to 3000 fingerprint thus allowing it to handle 1500 staff capacity in a single go.

 |
| |
| That being said, the company is pleased with the features and results that were provided by FingerTec that it even plans to integrate it with UBS payroll soon.

One of SGS offices is located in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, and this office caters to the similar needs of various industries nationwide including agriculture & food, chemical, constructions, consumer goods & retail, energy and many more.
The company was looking for a security system that can trace the entries and exits of personnel for select rooms in the premise.

Once multiple Ingressus controllers are set up, they can be centralized via IP or RS485 connection in a computer installed with Ingress software. Each Ingressus controller works independently at its access point; however the data is centralized from all Ingressus to give a better and more complete picture of the environment’s security level. On top of that, Ingressus IV comes with many other useful features for better security such as antipassback feature, duress mode, interlock function. Ingressus is a great choice for door access solution not only because all the data kept in the Ingressus is tuck away from the public’s sight but also because it is affordable and effective. |

 |
| |
|
| |
|
In January 2017, Taysseer Alsharq Trading Services of Saudi Arabia has successfully deployed Face ID 2 terminals in the Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs of Alsyah Provinces in Saudi Arabia.
|
| |
 |
|
The Ministry made a decision to switch from a hand-punch technology to face recognition to take advantage of the contactless nature of the Face ID 2 for the a convenience of their employees. With Face ID 2, a staff only needs to look at the camera and be verified almost instantly. The capacity of 1200 face templates is more than enough to cater to the Ministry’s requirements, and this terminal presents various types of communication methods including TCP/IP and USB, plus it comes complementary with Ingress management software. The deployment of FingerTec provides the ministry with the data they require on time attendance and door access control to manage their day-to-day workforce’s operations.

PC Mart proceeded to install 21 units of FingerTec TA100C bundled with TCMS V3 for their client. Before turning to biometrics, Montreal Trading was using punch cards as a way to mark and keep track of their employees attendance in all their outlets, the weakness of the punch card system was apparent; that all attendance data had to be rerecorded or duplicated for filing and calculation, there was no centralization or automation, and to add to that, the attendance data collected might have been compromised by some employees, the punch card system was a far cry from providing automation, accuracy and accountability.
|
|
| |
| At FingerTec we take pride in providing the best biometrics solutions in the market and we are delighted that PC Mart Sdn Bhd is able to centralize Montreal Trading‘s time attendance management while providing automation, accuracy, accountability to their attendance management.

SunCon Subscribes to TimeTec TA for Effective Construction Workers Management
 |
| |
 |
| |
| Sunway Construction Group (SunCon) is a fully-integrated construction company providing a full range of design and construction services including building, civil engineering, infrastructure, mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) services and supply and installation of pre-cast concrete products. With its team of qualified engineers and state-of-the-art technologies, SunCon leverages its VDC technology to propel itself to fulfill its vision which to be a leading construction group providing world-class competitive products and services that enhance stakeholders’ values.
In the middle of 2016, they started looking for a solution to manage their extensive workforce in multiple branches around Selangor and Kuala Lumpur. The system must be able to have a live view of multiple location data and sync hardware data remotely without having someone to go over the site to do it. Basically, SunCon were looking for an affordable cloud-based biometrics time and attendance system and stumbled upon TimeTec TA from their research in the Internet.
|
| |
 |
|
Starting 1st October 2016, SunCon deploys FingerTec TA100C GPRS and TA100C Wifi with TimeTec TA cloud-software at four sites namely Putrajaya Parcel F, Damansara LRT, Serdang LRT, and the Sungai Buloh office. They are using the system for a total of 2100 users and they forecast the number to increase to 5,000 users in the future depending on the projects they engage in. The system is being used to record daily time attendance data of their construction workers at those sites. SunCon prefers fingerprint solution because of its honesty factor and choosing other option like Time Beacon in TimeTec TA is not feasible because most construction workers don’t have smartphones and those who have wouldn’t carry one onsite. However, if there is a problem with any of the biometrics terminals, the TimeTec TA supervisor clocking can be used to solve the problem.
|
|

| The project was not free from challenges and one of the problems is the absence of Internet connection on some sites. To solve it, we suggested GPRS terminals and installation of broadband for SunCon. The next challenge involved more than 2,000 users to be uploaded to the system and downloaded to selected terminals. The process took some time and prompted TimeTec Research and Development team to customize some features to make the process easier. Overall, the installation of FingerTec and TimeTec TA has been a flagship project for TimeTec TA in 2016 and we are proud to say that the installation was a success and we are looking forward to having more users in the system in 2017 and beyond.
