Mission Linen Implementing Kaba Benzing B-COMM™ Time and Labor System for SAP® Solutions

 

MIRAMAR, FL. January 27, 2004-Kaba Benzing, a subsidiary of $800 million Kaba Holding AG and worldwide leader in time and labor management systems , today announced that Santa Barbara, Calif.-based Mission Linen Supply will begin implementing Kaba Benzing's B-COMM™ time and attendance and labor reporting software for SAP® solutions to simplify reporting of their approximately 3,000 employees. To input data, approximately 55 Kaba Benzing B-Net 9320 data collection terminals will be spaced throughout Mission Linen facilities.

B-COMM™ time and attendance/labor reporting software for the SAP R/3® software solution links Kaba Benzing terminals and other hardware data devices to SAP R/3 Release 3.1 to 4.7 (SAP R/3 Enterprise). It automates and validates the collection of employee and labor data for entry into the mySAP™ Human Resources (mySAP HR) solution, the time management application, and other SAP applications.

“We chose B-COMM™ for its seamless integration with the SAP R/3 solution, which we have been using for the past three years,” reports David Pattison, Infrastructure Manager for Mission Linen Supply. “Kaba Benzing was also very competitive in its pricing.”

The core of the B-COMM™ software is an SAP-certified interface that helps ensure faultless data exchange between the individual SAP applications and the data collection devices. This interface is kept current with all new SAP technical developments. All data maintenance takes place in the SAP solution.

“Over 800 SAP customers now use B-COMM™ software for the SAP R/3 solution to collect and input time and labor data into their time management application,” emphasizes John Edwards, president and general manager of Kaba Workforce Solutions. “We look forward to having Mission Linen Supply up and running quickly.”
