Sepilok Resort Trusted TimeTec Patrol for Security
 
TimeTec Patrol successful implementation resolves in-house security and improves immensely the facilities management of Sepilok Forest Edge Resort. The previous choice of a patrolling system with RFID patrolling reader did not turn out well for our client, Dynamic Prima View Sdn. Bhd.

Hired three security guards to carry out patrolling duty four times a day could be wary. Lack of trust can result in condemnation for working behind the schedules or for any wrongdoings. In the worst-case scenario for any incidents' responsibility, authorities must have adequate proof to pinpoint and reproach the employee(s). According to the established labour law, employers must avoid wrongful termination of employment. Sabrina from Dynamic Prima speaks about the issues and how has TimeTec Patrol resolved their worrisome problems.

Caritas Southwest Kowloon Local Service Coordination Office is responsible for centre administration, coordination and liaison work within the Southwest Kowloon Deanery.

Since July 2013, the Kowloon Social Centre and Yaumati Social Centre have been merged together to help in centralizing the resources and delivering a better service.

The social centre has a 20-floor building that needs to be well maintained at all times. Hence, security guards were hired to safeguard the building by monitoring the security with the help of CCTV and alarm systems.

To monitor the guards better, TimeTec Patrol is used as a tool for them to check-in at each floor by scanning on the NFC tag with a smartphone.

TimeTec Hire Debuts At TimeTec Computing
Beyond Biometrics interviews Ms Chia Fei Fei, Senior HR & Admin Executive on her first experience using TimeTec Hire for the office hiring process.
 
Before you use TimeTec Hire, what were the problems you need to deal with during hiring?
A bit tedious because I needed to email or call the candidate to confirm the Interview, and most of the time, this can't be settled in one shot. Some didn't pick up the call, some found it hard to give a straight answer on interview date confirmation, etc. And, more often than not, candidates would call to change the interview date, and I have to contact the people in charge to get their approval before I can commit to the new date. Also, sometimes the interviewers forgot the interview date, and I have to start the process again from step one. With TimeTec Hire, everything is centralized and automated. When I send an invitation for an interview, the candidate needs to respond through the same system so nothing gets lost in the process.
 
You have started using TimeTec Hire lately. In your opinion, which features in TimeTec Hire help you the most?
I definitely fall in love with the Dashboard, the Upcoming Interview Calendar and the Applicant Latest Activity because I don't have to remember all those details anymore! (It's a lot of information, mind you) Another thing that I like about TimeTec Hire is the fact that all the processes are done within the web application itself, and the notifications sent via email to relevant parties. Easy. And last but definitely not least, the screening process. I'm sure all the department heads also appreciate this feature because to go through a pile of resumes is cumbersome, and sometimes not fruitful.
 
How does TimeTec Hire benefit you and the company?
In a lot of ways! With TimeTec Hire, it is easy for me to connect with the candidate virtually. People are always on their smartphone, so it's easier to catch them through email rather than on the phone, it's irony, I know. It also saves a lot of my time from tracking candidates' statuses. I need to answer questions from many departments so to have the data on my fingertip, it's God sent.
 
Do you find it easy to handle the hiring flow in TimeTec Hire?
To be honest, it needs a slight learning curve, but at the same time, it is not THAT hard. When you have gone through the flow once, you kinda get the hang of it, and things start to flow. There are only 5 steps to master, set up templates, post jobs, fill up required details, generate a link, and you can post the job post online, ready to receive candidates. And, the good thing is, you don't need to repeat some processes like the required details if you have done it before. TimeTec Hire offers duplication, and that's awesome.
 
Did you hire anybody through TimeTec Hire lately?
Oh, definitely Yes! And so far, the head of departments revert that the new recruits match their requirements quite excellently. As an HR, I'm happy with this development because hiring is an expensive process and if we can get it right every time, then it's beneficial for the company as a whole.

JJ Infinitea Chooses Cloud Attendance

In making sure that they serve their customers on time and effectively, JJ Infinitea turns to TimeTec to find the solution that can cater to the rigorous schedule for its workforce. The tea outlet opens for 12 hours, seven days a week all year long; hence, the solution must attend to shifts, weekend schedules, and overtime of their workforce.

JJ Infinitea understands that as a retail operator, they must keep the overhead cost manageable.

Through GenX Technology (M) Sdn Bhd, TimeTed trusted partner in cloud solutions, JJ Infinitea introduced to a combination of biometrics and cloud-based technology. The biometrics technology provides them with accurate and honest attendance while the cloud-based attendance offers instant real-time data, transparency , and mobility. JJ Infinitea agreed to install the FingerTec TA700W fingerprint device that connects to TimeTec TA for cloud attendance. All staffs have to clock attendance using the biometrics device, and the data is available straight away in the server for the management viewing via the mobile application or the Web browser. The real-time nature of the information enables the manager/boss to monitor staff's punctuality, particularly during the opening of the outlet in the morning. No fingerprint data available translate to, no clocking data. And that is the beauty of this combination for no one can time cheat the company purposely.

Leave Management On the Go for Best Unicorn Trading
Employee mobility is something that modern businesses have to handle. More companies have gone global due to globalization, and local companies have to manage staff who are always on the move, such as sales and delivery team. The fact is, having many mobile employees could pose a problem for an organization if they do not provide any tool for the staff to carry out their administrative processes such as applying for leave, clocking attendance, and requesting for overtime. The company should not impose the employees to return to the office to submit simple applications; it's merely counter-productive.

Therefore, for a company like Best Unicorn Trading, they choose TimeTec Leave to manage its overall employee leave.

Best Unicorn Trading is a trading company in Selangor, Malaysia supplying stock-keeping equipment like barcode printer and scanner to their customers in the Klang Valley. As the company grows, the number of employees increases and they found it hard to manage the staff's matters like leave entitlement. The company was not using any system to handle leave management. Instead, the employee applied for leave via WhatsApp, and the admin had to transfer the so-called leave application into an Excel sheet. The leave application needed to get a nod from the bosses before recorded as leave taken. Sadly, the manual 'system' that they had going did not satisfy both the employer and the employee because the calculation of leave balance and entitlement was inconsistent; it inconvenienced both parties tremendously.
 
 
We do Better Leave Management
 
TIMETEC LEAVE APP
 
 
Embracing the new technology in managing its workforce, Best Unicorn Trading through Cloudix, one of TimeTec esteemed resellers, deploys TimeTec Leave to handle the leave management of their staff. Not only that TimeTec Leave can give them the correct balance, and accrual of the staff leave, it also can manage application and approval from afar via the TimeTec Leave mobile App. By using this system, the employees who are working outside the office can apply for the leave via the App and gets approved through the same mean immediately. When the transaction is through, the system displays the current balance and records the applied leave in the system for reference.

TimeTec Leave provides comfort to an employer knowing that the company takes care of the leave management well, and at the same time, they can use the data available to manage the daily operation better without having a hiccup when staff is absent. For the employee, the system provides transparency whereby each of them knows precisely about their leave entitlement, when they have used the leaves and the balance they have. They also can plan and let the employer knows when they are taking leave so the office can arrange a replacement in their absence.

 
 
Best Unicorn Trading also integrated their employee leave in TimeTec Leave with their payroll for balance deduction, another automated process that is helping the company's administration tremendously. At the same time, the company is also using TimeTec TA, the cloud-based attendance solution to monitor its sales personnel daily clocking activities.

The beauty of cloud solutions like TimeTec TA and TimeTec Leave is that it caters to a small and large company and for Best Unicorn Trading that is still at its growing stage, the advantages of the solutions triumph its cost. Now, the company no longer needs to fill up an Excel sheet with scattered applications because everything is centralized under TimeTec solutions.

Ceria Residence Manages Visitors with i-Neighbour
Visitor management is a concern in community living, especially in gated guarded and high-rise residential. A visitor is an outside element inside a guarded enclave, who could risk security and tranquillity of the living environment. A rowdy visitor can cause havoc or even injure other residents, and if not adequately monitored, theft can occur as well. Even so, many residentials choose to use the conventional method of the logbook to manage the visitors. When any visitors arrive, the security guard will ask them for an identification to register their particulars in a logbook. The security guard then records the time the visitor came, and the time the visitors left. All the information stays in that logbook for future reference if something occurs.

The problem with this manual system is that it is error-prone. The security guards might record the details clumsily in haste. Sometimes the security guards left the visitors to fill up the logbook, and the information given is unclear due to terrible handwriting or simply inaccurate such as wrong phone number. Moreover, the use of a logbook is time-consuming because visitors have to get out of the car to register. And, during peak time such as the weekends, the queue gets longer to the dismay of the visitors. Worse, it is hard to search for dated information out of a logbook.

Putting an end to all the hassles, Ceria Residence Condominium, Cyberjaya, Malaysia turned to TimeTec Cloud for its i-Neighbour solutions to take care of visitor management for all the 500 units of its condominiums. i-Neighbour is a Smart Community Solution that offers an App for residents to invite their guests, and the guests to preregister before coming to a residential. The pre-registration process will ultimately issue a QR code for the guests which they can show at the guardhouse for verification and access. The system records all the information of the visitors accurately using the OCR Optical Character Recognition technology and keeps all the access activities online for reference. When the visitors arrive, the hosts get notified immediately through the App, and the same process applies when the visitors leave the condominium.

Ivory Coast CIE Buyo Secured with FingerTec
Ivory Coast Electricity Company (CIE) is a private provider that has been linked to the Ivory Coast's government by a concession agreement since 1990. This agreement entrusts CIE with the operation of facilities for production, transport, and distribution of certain assets, as well as national electrical energy distribution and imports and exports within the region. CIE distributes electricity to 1.9 million customers in the Ivory Coast. CIE operates 50 000 km of the electricity network, six hydroelectric plants (604 MW) and one thermal plant (100 MW). CIE exports electricity to six countries in West Africa.

A CIE branch located in Buyo housed over 200 employees and received countless visitors all year long. The challenge for the management is to maintain a decent security level of the premises and it becomes increasingly hard when there is no system to identify the staffs from the visitors. Hence, the management decided to invest in door access control for the entire branch.

 
A Firm Access with Fingertec's i-Kadex Slave
 
 
i-Kadex Slave
 
TimeTec's reseller in the Ivory Coast, AC Tech proposed the installation of i-Kadex and Ingressus to control the entries and exits of the CIE premises that match with the client’s budget and security expectations. The i-Kadex is a slave reader that only reads the card, while Ingressus is a controller that controls all the door access activities and keeps all the data intact. The Buyo branch alone installed 22 units of i-Kadex for its entrances and exits, in combination with six pieces of Ingressus. AC Tech, the experienced reseller handled all the installations single-handedly along with the bundled door access control software, Ingress.

By having an access control like i-Kadex protecting your premises, it only allows entry to authorized personnel and visitors would have to register before given access. The combination of i-Kadex and Ingressus is one of the possible access control mixes that FingerTec offers to its customers based on the resources and requirements. With Buyo branch installation, AC Tech is looking forward to pitching the same idea to other branches of CIE.

TNB-IT Monitors Contract Staff Attendance with GPS on Mobile App
TNB-IT, one of Tenaga Nasional Berhad subsidiaries has found a solution to their attendance woes involving contract staff with TimeTec TA. Starting July 2019, the company has subscribed to TimeTec cloud-based attendance solution to overcome various challenges in managing their contract employees for around 100 people.

These contract employees are responsible for the installation and maintenance of all IT related equipment such as smart meter at the clients place. Therefore, staff monitoring is the main concern of the company because most of the time, these employees are mobile and scattered around the city doing their tasks. With the manual attendance system, there are rampant cases of buddy punching whereby the fellow colleague clocks in for the absent or tardy ones. There are also cases where staff forgot to clock in and out, and they are left with no attendance data for the admin to work on. And on top of that, the TNB-IT admin has to manually calculate the work hours and overtime taken to prepare for payroll which is not only a tedious task but also prone to errors.

The feature of TimeTec TA that is appealing to TNB-IT is the GPS clocking made available in the mobile App of TimeTec TA. This feature allows the system to track staff location when the staff are assigned to the various sites. With TimeTec TA as a tool on their smartphone, the staff will need to use the GPS clocking whenever they are assigned to the sites. Once the GPS clocking is done, the supervisor can view their current location in real time. Another feature that is important to TNB-IT is the clocking monitoring, where the staff will receive notification via mobile app as a reminder to clock. This feature has been able to solve the problem of staff who do not have attendance data because they always use the excuse of “forget to clock in”. On top, this solution has a Mobile ID for each staff to eliminate buddy punching occurrences. By using mobile clocking, each staff will have their own mobile ID that is automatically captured from their mobile phone and they cannot login by using other colleagues’ mobile phones to do the same.

At the same time, TNB-IT wants to use automatic work hour/OT calculation feature in TImeTec TA to cater to their flexible work hours with specific IN and OUT range. In TimeTec TA, users can use ‘flexi schedule’ with specific settings on the IN and OUT range and the work hour/OT also will be automatically calculated for convenience.

Monitoring of mobile staff is not an easy feat to tackle by any organization and TimeTec TA has provided TNB-IT with a perfect solution to their attendance problems. Right now all TNB-IT contract staff are using TimeTec TA and the management has a plan to introduce TimeTec TA to other related departments that have similar challenges in the future.

Grandville is Taking Charge of its Residential Patrolling
Nowadays, the importance of security in residential is paramount even more so in an exclusive area like Grandville and its building management takes a step forward by taking charge of the residential patrolling monitoring through TimeTec Patrol solution.

Grandville is an elite gated and guarded low-density residence comprising of semi-detached, cluster semi-detached and bungalow houses located in USJ 1 in Selangor, Malaysia. This area is designed best suited for contemporary living lifestyle as it features enormous space which spreads over 40 acres of land with widespread landscaping and greenery in abundance.

For such exclusivity and seclusion, Grandville does not compromise on its security and therefore, has subscribed to the cloud-based security patrol monitoring system, TimeTec Patrol. Previously Grandville was using the Watchman clock for its patrol guards but this decision has proven to be futile when the download of patrol data was not only done manually but sluggishly and the time recorders were almost always not functioning as expected. This has caused the download of data to be done on a monthly basis by the building management staff and the monitoring of the patrol guards cannot be carried out. To make matters worse, all the data stored in the recorder had gone missing very frequently to the dissatisfaction of the building management.

 
These are the features that are available on the TimeTec Patrol App:
 
Fortunately, the deployment of TimeTec Patrol in Grandville has managed to solve the many challenges caused by the old clocks and now the building management can view and monitor the guard’s patrol activity in real-time seamlessly. What’s more, the management is also in control of arranging the patrolling schedules & routes based on the agreement with the other committees. Gone were the days when the guards could take comfort to the fact that the patrolling data was absent. Now, all guards are supplied with TimeTec RD68, an industrial rugged smartphone device during their patrolling duty to enable them to give the management real time updates of their duties. By subscribing to TimeTec Patrol, the guards and the security officer can exchange information in real time such as reporting of incident and providing help as emergency happens.
 
 
Even though the residential engages a third party security company for security, TimeTec Patrol provides them with an upper hand in monitoring of the guards on duty. With TimeTec Patrol, all patrol activities are stored in the server and can be extracted as and when needed for reference.
 
Grandville is also subscribed to i-Neighbour, the smart community solution for around 200 units.
 
Le Putra Avenue Upgrades its VMS to i-Neighbour
Managing visitors in gated guarded community and in high rise residential looks simple but it is not as simple as it appears to be. The manual system usually requires a visitor to surrender his/her ID card for the information to be recorded by hand by the security guard at the guard house. The guard then would verify with the resident before access is granted. Either the visitor is provided with an access credential or not is very much dependent on the operation of a neighbourhood. Nevertheless, while this process seems harmless and has been working at many places all these while, it also poses a series of security and privacy issues which cannot be taken lightly especially now. The questions such as what are the information obtained from the identity card provided? Are those information taken correctly, how is the information used? Any other people have access to information? What if the logbook is stolen? or are the information even correct to begin with, so on and so forth.

In addressing all those concerns, Le Putra Avenue, a landed gated guarded community in Sri Kembangan Selangor turns to TimeTec for better solution. This neighbourhood consists of 65 elegant landed houses situated in the suburbs of Kuala Lumpur is in dire need of a modern VMS solution to serve residents and visitors that are coming to their properties. Recently, Le Putra Avenue installs i-Neighbour Smart Community System along with the BLE-2 bluetooth low energy controller for access complete with a tablet installed with i-Vizit, the app for guards to manage visitors.

Door Access & Time Attendance System
 
The use of R2c and Ingress is economical without skimming on the overall security aspects. FingerTec R2c is a slave fingerprint unit that scans one’s fingerprint to be verified by the connected controller Ingressus. All storage of fingerprint templates are kept in the Ingressus and when employee scans his or her finger, the system will compare the live fingerprint data with the stored template to determine its authenticity. When verification is done, the Ingressus will open the door for the user and an access record is sent to the software Ingress for reference. The simple mechanism of this installation makes it convenient for everybody to use the device and for the management to manage the access data. What’s more, when a company uses fingerprint biometrics, there will be no case of lost card/keys to manage because the system doesn’t require employees to carry any physical tokens to enter the premises.

DR Group Call for A Progressive Change in Office Solution - A Sharing Session At the Malaysia SME Business Summit
On 25th June 2019, Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KLSCCCI) organized the Malaysia SME Business Summit 2019 at the JW Marriott Hotel in Kuala Lumpur with the theme “Transform, Elevate and Innovate”, discussing on how to drive productivity for the nation through Industry 4.0 as well as how and what we can do to accelerate the adoption of Industry 4.0.

Towards the end of the event, the organizer featured a sharing session comprising of companies that have been using modern solutions to tackle issues they face in SME operations. TimeTec as a co-sponsor is invited to feature one of our clients in the sharing sessions and we have the honor of Dr Afendi Dahlan, Business Development Director from DR Group Holdings Sdn Bhd to be TimeTec representative during the event.

Dr Afendi shared with the crowd the need to change to a better office system and ditched the saying ‘don’t fix what is not broken’ mantra widely belief by many. Because, apart from the cost, efficiency of the resources needs to be evaluated as well so these top minds can better contribute to the advancement of the organization rather than spending valuable time for mundane tasks such as payroll or collecting attendance. Human resources for example is an integral part in resource development in the Industrial Revolution 4.0, and they ought to do more by now instead of doing what a system can deliver.

 
 
He also shared how he managed to successfully convinced his skeptical management team to agree to a change in the system. Only after the system was able to provide evidence that could be presented to the management that the company agreed to deploy the system in a larger scale. The strategy of TimeTec to offer Proof of Concept session to prospective clients has proven to work because they will be given the first hand experience on the system prior to making decisions.

Currently, DR Group Holdings is subscribing to both TimeTec TA and TimeTec Leave to manage its multiple branches nationwide. According to Dr Afendi, change has to come progressively, it has to be managed in a diplomatic yet tactical way so you don’t step on anyone’s toes, a top down approach. And, those who initiated change has to also be ready for the resistance and to deal with skeptics, and find out a way to offer a path of least resistance in implementing the solutions to the company.

Tackles Staff Leave Management via TimeTec Leave
JD Sports has been established as the leading UK specialist retailer of fashionable branded, sports and casual wear in 1983 by John Wardle and David Makin. By 2011, JD has dominated most of the EU, primarily in Germany, Ireland, France, the Netherlands and Spain, with Denmark and Sweden to follow suit. Fast forward to November 2016, JD officially launched its first flagship store in Asia, located at the Pavilion Elite, right in the middle of the capital Kuala Lumpur. In just less than 3 years, JD Sports stores have been launched in more than 13 locations nationwide with the number of staff increased to near 700 headcount.
 
With the rapid expansion, JD Sports was in dire need of a system that can manage workforce issues effectively. Two main areas that JD Sports were looking at are time and attendance as well as leave management. For time and attendance, they are currently using TimeTec cloud-based solution, TimeTec TA coupled with FingerTec biometrics terminals for a more secure yet transparent system. This attendance system has apparently proven to be effective in managing time and attendance data of their staff at various locations. Consequently, JD Sports moves on to another area of concern which is employee leave management.

Duke Dining Streamlining Workforce in Food Catering & Restaurant Chain with TimeTec TA
Duke Dining Sdn. Bhd. is a food catering & restaurant chain management company in Malaysia that cater to brands such as The Loaf Bakery, Xin Dau Ji the Michelin-starred Hong Kong seafood restaurant and more.

As a company that is in charge of multiple eateries and various dining activities, the major challenge faced by Duke Dining on a daily basis is that their customers’ staffs’ working rosters are almost always not organized or correctly planned. In the food and restaurant business, the presence of workforce is key to smooth operation, and the changing of shifts/roster plus the high staff turnover do not make managing these operations any easier. When the change in shifts/roster is not properly communicated to the operation crew, there were situations when the staff were unaware of their rosters and therefore failed to show up to work. Hence, it had caused the restaurants operation hiccups which jeopardized the overall customer experience. To make matters worse, HR personnel located in the headquarters had no data clue about staff attendance because there were not provided with a proper system to monitor the staff.

Taking a step towards the right direction, Duke Dining decided that it is time for them to time their employees properly. The success of their clients relies on the workforce quality and to deliver success, Duke Dining turns to biometrics for clocking and TimeTec TA for data management. With biometrics device, the company promotes honesty amongst the employee as the FingerTec fingerprint machine such as TA700W requires each staff has to scan his finger on the machine upon arrival, breaks and end of day as proofs of work time. On top, TimeTec TA is added into the equation as an attendance software that can provide the client with real time attendance data and analysis for monitoring purposes.
 
 
Each outlet supervisor is made responsible to arrange for staff working roster, which includes drivers, kitchen, bar and floor staff. Using the comprehensive rostering feature in TimeTec TA, supervisor will be able to plan the restaurant’s workforce ahead of time, and change in roster can be done easily and everything will be sorted out properly in a centralized system. What’s more, once the roster has been finalized by the admin, the staff can check on their roster and schedule directly from TimeTec App to confirm their work time and schedules. Furthermore, TimeTec TA also has a monitoring feature that alerts the employer/admin if their key staff haven’t arrived to the restaurant when they are supposed to. Hence, rectification can be sorted out to make sure that the operation is not compromised.

TimeTec Mobile tracks and manages attendance on your mobile, the perfect fit for today's lifestyle.

Besides having an eye on their restaurant clients’ employees, FingerTec and TimeTec TA are also being implemented in Duke Dining headquarters office for their Administration Department, HR, Marketing, and Management.
 
Twellium Beverage Factory in Ghana Chooses Biometrics Access Security Measures
In the country of Ghana, Nsawam Road Accra Accra lies the home of Twellium Beverage Factory that produces quality beverages such as mineral water, sodas and energy drinks for over 60 countries around the world and a staple for many. Like many factories, tracking and handling of the workforce is a lot of work due to their sheer number, which could cause potential problems for example, unauthorised personnel could sneak past the crowd to enter the restricted area of a building to cause harm. Another challenge of handling a large number of workers is the inefficient way of tracking attendance. Twellilum’s solution to that was using manual log books but it was proven ineffective because it was slow, messy, exploitable and insecure. Their solution was in desperate need of an upgrade that could help provide them efficiency and security and for that, they turned to automation.

In search of a more secure, reliable and efficient system, the collaboration of Telecomputer Network Systems and Cortex Technologies introduces the FingerTec biometrics system. Twellium Beverage Factory now uses the H2i and Q2i FingerTec models along with the Ingress software to monitor access, and staff attendance. The combination of both H2i and Q2i is a pair that cut cost without compromising on its performance and quality. These models have been configured on turnstiles to control access to the factory. Without having a fingerprint template stored in FingerTec devices, unauthorized people are denied access to the factory without requiring any additional supervision. The decision to choose the Q2i model is due to the fact that it holds up to 10,000 users and over 200,000 transaction logs, perfect for factories with a large number of employees. With the Q2i, it is also equipped with an alarm system for when a break-in happens. The model comes with a durable exterior, a suitable feature for a factory environment, along with a 3-year warranty. The H2i on the other hand is a slicker and more compact version of the door access model, and it acts as a slave to capture fingerprint templates for verification at the Q2i.

 
 
Since the upgrade from their manual book logs, Twellilum factory has become more secure with the access control feature that requires fingerprint for access permission. The factory has also improved its efficiency of receiving attendance data digitally from staff with just a touch of a finger, and the data can be exported to its payroll solution easily during the payroll period.

Recently, Twellium has opened a new biscuit factory with the same concerning problems of security and efficiency, and they are planning to deploy similar FingerTec solution at the new factory for a smoother operation.

Melaka MARA Offices Switched to FingerTec Card Security
The Majlis Amanah Rakyat or acronym Mara is an agency under the Ministry of Rural Development of Malaysia that carries the duty to promote, facilitate and carry out economic and social development amongst Malaysia’s Bumiputera which consists of the Malays and other indigenous Malaysians nationwide for more than 53 years. The agency prides themselves as an organization of trust and of their mission to lead Malaysians of indigenous background into fields of entrepreneurship, education and investments to enhance equity.

As MARA is a national initiative, it has offices and branches all over the country in various states, and in Melaka, a state in the south region of the Peninsular alone, MARA has 4 offices located in major areas. One in the City Center, one in the district of Ayer Keroh, one in Jasin and another is in Alor Gajah. These offices were looking to change their security solutions to a more recent, reliable and secure system and they turned to FingerTec Melaka Reseller, Snadi Tech, located in Taman Asean, Malim, Melaka to help them with the installation.

 
 
Choosing a more reliable smartcard solution, MARA Melaka gave a green light for Snadi Tech to install FingerTec Kadex Mifare at the main entrances and restricted areas of the 4 MARA offices. With the new system in place, those authorised personnel are issued with Mifare cards for access and attendance purposes, and to ease the cost of their security system upgrade, Snadi Tech pairs the Kadex Mifare with slave k-Kadex so MARA gets to install the whole IN-OUT card system at a reasonable cost.
 
 
By using Kadex card solution with Ingress software, now MARA Melaka can trace the access activities of their personnel and use the access data as attendance data as well, because Ingress comes with some basic time attendance features to track employees’ work time. Besides, the main office in the city center is not in the dark anymore on the whereabouts of the employees in other branches because they can obtain the data securely and accurately for reports and analysis.

Dah Makan Dah Subscribe to TimeTec TA
Dah Makan is one of the leading food delivery services in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia offering foods and beverages prepared by their in-house chefs. Dah Makan is a product of Farm to Fork, a company that provides services by taking orders for delivery through its mobile app or web. Dah Makan is a Malay phrase equivalent to (Dah) Already (Makan) Eaten in English and the brand has gotten a lot of buzz from the city dwellers for its original dishes and excellent services. Currently, the operation is running on multiple branches across Kuala Lumpur to cover different delivery areas. However, as the demand rises, the plan of service expansion to other states is in the pipeline.
 
The major challenge faced by Farm to Fork on workforce monitoring is to have all the supervisors keep an eye on full time and part time employees with different shifts. At the moment, their kitchen crew is working on 12-hour rotational shift with one supervisor making sure there are enough resources to fulfill the incoming demands during the day’s delivery period. Hence, a practical tool is a must to ensure a flawless operation.

Consequently, TimeTec TA, the cloud-based attendance system has been the system of choice for Dah Makan because through the system the supervisors can easily arrange the staff shifts to produce accurate attendance and precise workforce analysis. Shifts can be predetermined and supervisors will just have to assign the shifts accordingly and make replacements whenever required to ease operation.

 
TimeTec TA offers various attendance data collection including GPS, Wifi, Beacon, NFC and biometrics. However, Dah Makan chooses FingerTec biometrics face recognition to be installed at the main entrance for door access and attendance data with all the data sent to the TimeTec mobile App to ease monitoring task and simplify data analysis for the management. Face ID 2 is a contactless biometrics product by FingerTec, suitable for food service industry for it poses no risk of cross contamination happening at the machine, plus it has a capacity large enough (3000 face templates) to sustain an expanding brand like Dah Makan.
Deployment of TimeTec TA in an establishment like Dah Makan is timely because the TimeTec TA is not only offering modern cloud technology complete with an App for convenience, it is also a scalable and cost effective time attendance system to cater to the expanding service business of an ecommerce merchant like Dah Makan.
 
TimeTec Patrol Adds Real Time Value to South Asia Management (HK) Security Management
South Asia Management is a company that focuses on clothing and textiles distribution for many major brands in Hong Kong. Their office building is a 20-storey building located in the city center of Hong Kong that has been secured with various security facilities such as CCTV, alarm, patrolling guards and more. Even with all the security systems intact, the management still deploys teams of physical patrolling guards in and around the building to secure the safety of the company’s staffs, assets, and inventory.

Nevertheless, the current patrolling system being used by the guards is cumbersome when it comes to extracting data for reporting purposes. Due to the fact that the system is offline, manual data transfer from USB to PC is required after every patrol session and it often takes time which a city like Hong Kong cannot afford. The report formats also are not uniformly processed, and this adds more burden to the team to calculate the tardiness of patrol guards accurately such as absence and tardiness.

As such, TimeTec Patrol is being introduced by our dealer, Founder Globaltech with the main purpose of solving the predicament faced by South Asia Management. More so, TimeTec Patrol is offering added benefits such as Report Incident, Panic Button, Job Order, and many other useful features. With TimeTec Patrol, the patrolling schedules can be preset and pre-assign to specific guards to perform their daily duties, and the cloud nature of TimeTec Patrol makes the patrolling data be transferred in real time, saving the company time and money in a long run. Furthermore, the supervisor will be able to receive push notifications on TimeTec Patrol mobile App on security guard’s tardiness, absences, reported incidents & panic button for immediate action as well as remedial actions to be taken promptly and effectively.

The overall patrol operation in the building has been simplified with TimeTec Patrol, with guards carrying out patrol duties daily and the supervisor will be able to monitor them closely and accurately. Currently, TimeTec checkpoints are being installed at the car park, basement, rooftop, staircase of the building.

 
Small to large companies can benefit from TimeTec Patrol real time feature with minimal investment. There is no reason to stick to an offline system that is ineffective when the online accurate system gives you more for less.

Since one of the competitive strengths of the Group is the use of information technology in the business operation, naturally Manforce Group will turn to the latest technology that can help them solve the problem.

Yamaha Electronic Manufacturing Upgrades Security With FingerTec
 
Yamaha brand needs no introduction. This reputable brand that was founded over 132 years ago has been providing the world with a variety of products and services centered on sound and music. In April 2016, Yamaha embarked on a basic strategy to consolidate competitive superiority through adding new values and differentiation to its clients the world over. Hence, the company established an “Innovation Center” to focus more on R&D that can accelerate innovation by promoting interchange among technical personnel and collaboration both internally and with related parties outside of Yamaha. The center is located at the free trade zone in Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia known as Yamaha Electronic Manufacturing Sdn. Bhd., a building that houses more than 2000 Yamaha dedicated staffs.

The center was already secured with a card system but it was dated and needed upgrading after a few years of using. Sensing that it was time to upgrade the whole security of the centre, Yamaha called on FingerTec reseller in Perak, KBB Business Solutions Sdn Bhd for a consultation. Yamaha wanted to install an affordable security solution that can cater to access control as well as time attendance simultaneously and most of all the new system must be able to send data to the payroll without having to use our bundled software.

 

Overall, the company is having 20 departments that have to be secured with a security system, and since they had been using a card solution before, they didn’t want to venture into a new technology just yet. Furthermore, the company have had some experience in using FingerTec and therefore, KBB suggested Yamaha to replace the previous card solution entirely with FingerTec Kadex and use FingerTec SDK, Biobridge to do payroll integration. The installation has been a success for KBB and now Yamaha Electronic Manufacturing is totally secured by FingerTec. While they were adamant to keep the card system for now, they are keen to explore face recognition technology in the near future.
