The challenge
Tracking staff time and attendance was an administrative burden for Sheetmetal Solutions. The data, which was in paper form, was only available on site and wasn’t always accurate or legible. There was also the challenge of storing this information and the manual data entry that was required for payroll.
“We thought there had to be a better way. As a growing business, I was spending too much time on payroll and a big part of that was the manual process we used to clock workers in and out,”
Samantha Williams – Site Manager at Sheetmetal Solutions
The solution
Sheetmetal Solutions setup Rapid Aware on site to digitally capture an accurate record of time and attendance. Rather than fill out a time sheet, workers could simply clock in with a quick face scan.
Sheetmetal Solutions could then refer to the Rapid Aware web and mobile apps to see automated time sheets and hours on site for each worker. The business also enabled the ‘breaks’ feature so staff could easily log their breaks, again with a quick face scan.
The results
Since setting up Rapid Aware, Sheetmetal Solutions have dramatically cut down the time spent on payroll.
“Now when I do payroll, I can simply export a report whether I’m at home or on site” said Williams.
“All the attendance data I need is there including time sheets with daily and weekly hours totaled for me.”
With breaks enabled, Sheetmetal Solutions can capture a very accurate record of attendance and staff appreciate how easy the process is.
“We don’t want clocking in and out to be a burden for staff, workers appreciate how quick and easy it is to log their attendance with Rapid Aware.”
In addition to attendance for payroll, the business now has a real time record of everyone on site at any given time which further strengthens site security and safety.
