Now much of the country is either furloughed or working from home, a lot of our customers are looking for software to help them continue to manage the workforce remotely. Capture It has the capability already to support home working, and there are a few options depending on what suits your business’ needs.

There is a surprising number of businesses that still rely on the old-style mechanical clock card clocking machine. Your company might even be one of them. Maybe it’s always been there? Maybe it’s because it has never broken down and you’ve been doing just fine with it, so why bother fixing what isn’t broken, right?

Maybe you’ve thought about getting a time and attendance system before, but couldn’t work out how it was going to work with such flexible working hours.

Does this sound familiar? It’s a few days from payday and the person responsible for payroll, typically ‘finance’ or HR vanish into a ‘no-go zone’ and refuse to speak to anyone whilst they slowly suffer the pain of trying to sort out and process the weekly and/or monthly payroll.

Often, people mistake the biometric handscanner as being exactly the same as a finger-scanner, except that it scans the whole hand rather than just one finger. This is not the case. It’s a bit like comparing apples and oranges; they’re both in the fruit basket, but they couldn’t be more different.

The Biometric Fingerscanner is the most requested clocking terminal in the enquiries we receive. This isn’t surprising, given that Biometrics are becoming more popular (and readily available) with each passing year, as pointed out over on Biometricupdate.com.
