Initial Phase for Core Group of 300 Engineers
MIRAMAR, FL. – June 1, 2004 – Kaba Benzing, a
subsidiary of $800 million Kaba Holding AG and worldwide leader in
time and labor management systems , today announced that Carrier
(Farmington, Conn.), a subsidiary of United Technologies Corporation
and the world leader in air conditioning heating and refrigeration,
is implementing Kaba Benzing's AutoTime time and attendance and
labor reporting software to provide accurate labor information.
During the “proof of concept” period, the initial implementation
will be with a core of approximately 300 engineers in which AutoTime
will track each engineer's project time.
AutoTime is a robust software system for time and attendance,
labor distribution, and material movement tracking for exempt and
non-exempt personnel. AutoTime captures and processes direct and
indirect labor and calculates employee payroll in environments
ranging from simple to complex. It offers strategic value to
companies concerned with their use and cost of direct and indirect
labor. It is highly configurable and quickly accommodates
ever-changing, complex work rules that govern employee pay.
“Carrier wants to replace multiple systems that don't talk to
each other with one consistent practice and application for tracking
time,” reports John Edwards, President and General Manager of Kaba
Workforce Solutions. “We are confident of an initial success and
look forward to helping Carrier roll AutoTime out to all its
engineers, located in facilities worldwide, and then expanding the
system to payroll and tracking their hourly workers.”
AutoTime is installed at over 200 individual sites that employ
from 150 to 15,000 employees and interfaces with leading ERP,
payroll and enterprise systems.
