Time and Attendance Software in the Manufacturing Industry

For a company to succeed, it is important that its resources are in the right place at the right time, especially if the company is part of the manufacturing industry.

Using an efficient time and attendance software helps your organisation track staff attendance accurately, thereby allowing management to save on costs and improve the overall efficiency of the company. Simply put, time and attendance software allows the company to gauge the efficiency of its resources by tracking real-time attendance.

For example, Synel is a time and attendance software solution which comes packed with powerful features which allow you to realistically assess the performance of your employees in the manufacturing sector. We understand that, in the manufacturing sector, the amount of out-of-office work is much greater than that of any other industry, given the number of site visits and vendor recces that your people undertake. Therefore, it is difficult for companies to ensure that their employees are spending their 8-9 hours efficiently. Synel gives you a way around this with its biometric sign-in, which allows your employees to clock in and clock out remotely – while notifying you of their geolocation.

This feature also allows you to track the amount of time required by an employee to do a particular job. This makes it easy for you to estimate the time required for the job while mapping resources to projects in the future, as well as prepare better cost estimates.

Most on-site jobs in the mechanical industry involve tight safety measures. In case of a safety mishap, Synel accurately gives you the location of all your employees in real-time, allowing you to react immediately and get every member of your team back to safety.

Changes in government, national budget allocation and global demands all impact the manufacturing industry and cause upheaval – which companies must adapt to or shut shop. If your company wants to stay on top irrespective of these changes, stay meticulously up-to-date to ensure that your workforce is capable of balancing supply and demand. You can thus rest assured that you will neither be understaffed or overstaffed.
