The Solution
AIED recommended and implemented a cloud-based Matrix Time Attendance System, designed specifically for businesses with dispersed workforces like Al Bawani Contracting. The cloud-based solution leveraged SaaS (Software-as-a-Service), making it accessible from anywhere and offering several features to address the company’s needs.
Cloud-Enabled Flexibility:
The Matrix system is deployed on the cloud, enabling access from anywhere at any time. This provided Al Bawani with the flexibility to manage employee attendance across different job sites, regardless of their location
Biometric & RFID Authentication:
The system integrates advanced biometric recognition (fingerprint scanning and facial recognition) and RFID cards, ensuring fast and accurate identification. It is designed to handle quick authentication in busy environments, minimizing delays during employee check-ins and check-outs.
Real-Time Data Syncing:
The cloud-based infrastructure allows the system to automatically sync attendance data in real-time to the central database. This eliminates the need for manual data input, ensuring that HR teams always have immediate access to updated, accurate attendance information
Mobile App for Remote Locations
For employees working in remote or temporary locations, the Matrix mobile app allows them to clock in and out using their smartphones. This ensures seamless attendance tracking even in areas without access to physical biometric terminals.
Customizable Rules & Compliance Management
The system offers customizable attendance policies, such as shift schedules, overtime rules, and break times, tailored to Al Bawani’s diverse workforce. It also ensures compliance with local labor laws, helping to prevent costly fines or compliance issues.
Seamless Integration with HR & Payroll Systems:
The Matrix system integrates seamlessly with Al Bawani’s existing HR and payroll systems, ensuring automated data transfer for payroll processing. This reduces manual data entry and minimizes payroll errors, speeding up and improving the accuracy of payroll runs.
Scalability:
As Al Bawani grows, the Matrix system can easily scale to accommodate new job sites, locations, and employees without requiring complex upgrades. The SaaS model also allows flexible user management, enabling the company to add or remove users as needed.
