Benefits/ Value Propositions

Cost-saving
With TimeCardControl, your payroll clerk will not need to manually track and count daily hours and Overtime hours. This can translate into substantial cost saving as she could be assigned to other tasks. Imagine a clerk that is paid S$1200 taking 5 days a month to count the OT from punch card and double confirm OT with supervisors = (S$1200x5/22)x12x1.6 (taking into consideration bonus, CPF, medical, 13th Month Pay etc). That costs the company S$5,236 per year. Within a five-year period a pay-clerk’s time on processing punch cards could cost the company S$5,236x5=S$26,180. Her time could be better utilized through using TimeCardControl, with or without the Payroll option at a much lower investment.

Supervisor Approval of OT
Supervisors can login to a screen to approve the OT of staff under him with the network version of TimeCardControl.

Useful Reports
There are many useful reports like Latecomer, OT Claims, Rejected OT Claims, and Staff Timesheet etc. DBCSoft also designs new reports for customers when required.

PC and Direct Scanner Much Cheaper to Replace then Tied to Outdated Proprietary Clocking Machines
PCs are cheap nowadays and older PC in the company can be used as a Timecard PC. Punch card clocking machines are outdated and also incur punch card, ink, repair and replacement cost. Even some Readers still comes with old 80s era software to download data, and they are not programmable or extensible. Direct readers for BarCode/Magnetic/Proximity/finger/Palm are much cheaper to replace and data are immediately downloaded to PC – no more loss of data or lack of memory from the clocking machines. If using Barcode Reader, TimeCardControl even prints user barcode from any printer to paste on cards or reads IC/Work Permits. It translates to zero maintenance cost.

Multiple Readers and Complex OT Requirement or Extension
TimeCardControl can be extended to read from multiple readers over a long distance for factories, even via internet to control remote factories, and customized for any customer requirement, making it ideal even for constantly changing user requirements environment.

Make use of New Technology
No companies like to be left behind in this fiercely competitive marketplace. If a company does not adopt new technology to make itself more lean, mean and competitive, it will gradually lose out to its competitors who are willing to invest in IT.

Improve Company Image
As mentioned above, adoption of new technology makes the staff feel proud and that company is IT oriented and forward looking. Customers who visit would also be impressed of the company’s aggressive IT usage. End result: better worker morale and customer perception of the company.
