Baldor Electric Company Implements Kaba Benzing B-COMM™ Time and Labor System for SAP® Solutions

 

MIRAMAR, FL. – August 19, 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 Arkansas-based Baldor Electric Company is implementing Kaba Workforce Solutions B-COMM™ time and attendance and labor reporting software for SAP® solutions to simplify reporting of their employees.

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 Enterprise. It automates and validates the collection of employee and labor data for entry into mySAP™ Human Resources (mySAP™ HR), the time management application, and other SAP applications.

"We were looking for a complete time and attendance solution to work with SAP," reports Don Osman, Benefits Manager for Baldor Electric. "We chose B-COMM™ for SAP solutions because it looked like Kaba Benzing provided the most flexibility to meet our current and future needs."

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 technical developments in SAP solutions. All data maintenance takes place in the SAP solution.

“Baldor Electric needed to have their time clocks and time data collection interface with their new SAP software solution, like so many other manufacturing companies that have made the switch to the SAP time management component of mySAP HR,” emphasizes John Edwards, President and General Manager of Kaba Workforce Solutions. “Similarly, Baldor Electric is easing implementation by selecting a proven SAP partner with a certified interface. We have over 900 such installations throughout the world.”
