Kaba Workforce Solutions AutoTime Interfaces with
Leading ERP Systems
MIRAMAR, FL. – Aug. 17, 2004 – Kaba Workforce
Solutions, the North American operating subsidiary of $800 million
Kaba Holding AG and worldwide leader in time and labor management
systems, today announced that Windsor, Conn.-based Spencer Turbine
Company will implement Kaba Benzing's AutoTime time and attendance
and labor reporting software to provide accurate time, labor and
production tracking information.
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.
"We
chose Kaba Benzing's AutoTime solution for its functionality,
"reports Michelle Tenczar, Director of Finance for Spencer. "We
wanted to be able to upload data to our payroll system, and download
data to our SSA Baan ERP software. We know that AutoTime works with
SSA Baan and our payroll system because Kaba Benzing has done the
interface before."
Spencer is using B-Net 9540 terminals with Cobra LS 1900 CCD
scanners for time and labor data collection. The B-Net 9540 display
allows the unit to operate in a wider temperature range, while its
internal relay allows it to trigger a break signal or light, or
unlock a door or turnstile. B-Net 9540, used in conjunction with
AutoTime®, is for companies such as Spencer with data collection
requirements on the shop floor. Dialogs can be designed for specific
tasks, allowing data collection processes to be adapted to specific
enterprise needs.
AutoTime is installed at over 300 individual sites that employ
from 150 to 15,000 employees and interfaces with leading ERP,
payroll and enterprise systems.
"We look forward to helping Spencer Turbine create a more
efficient payroll and ERP environment," emphasizes John Edwards,
President and General Manager of Kaba Workforce Solutions. "It's
extremely gratifying that companies such as Spencer Turbine
recognize the strong relationships we have built with SSA Baan and
other leading enterprise system vendors, and can leverage the
benefits of a seamless, integrated solution."
