Major Chemical Manufacturer Seeks to Streamline
Employee Reporting at Offices Around the Globe
MIRAMAR, FL. – October 28, 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 Delaware-based Hercules, Inc. is
implementing its B-COMM™ time and attendance and labor reporting
software for SAP® solutions to simplify employee time and labor
reporting for over 5,000 of their employees at its 45-plus worldwide
offices.
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 chose Kaba Benzing because of their close association with
SAP," reports Tom Wertz, Director, Human Resources at Hercules. "It
was a logical fit rather than going with some other vendor that does
not have such a close relationship with SAP. There are others but
Kaba Benzing made the most sense."
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 for SAP solutions. All
data maintenance takes place in the SAP solution.
Hercules also plans to implement Kaba Benzing’s web-based tool
that will let employees use the B-COMM™ for SAP solutions remotely.
One central location will be designated to collect all the data.
“One of Hercules' primary business strategies for staying
competitive is to create more efficient and cost effective business
processes throughout its organization," notes John Edwards,
President and General Manager of Kaba Workforce Solutions. "Our
SAP-certified interface will help Hercules quickly and seamlessly
integrate its data collection and labor reporting functions just as
it does for 900 other installations throughout the world using SAP
solutions."
