Trident's ExtendTime Keeps Watchful Eye on Labor Tracking
By Jessica Kostek, TMCnet Channel Editor
Keeping track of employee labor, for some companies, is a must because of the pesky labor laws and whatnot. The stress of tracking hours, logging hours, calculating hours, giving hours, taking off hours, just takes hours. But now there is a solution.
Companies reportedly can now use their IP phones for time and attendance tracking, with the help of a unique Web-based solution by Trident Internet Systems. “ExtendTime” is a labor management tool that eliminates the manual tracking of labor data.
With ExtendTime, employers don’t need to calculate timesheets and manage employee scheduling and attendance; the information can be transmitted automatically to companies’ payroll systems. Since the system operates in a familiar online environment, every tier of the organization, from entry level-staff to executive management, will feel comfortable navigating and operating it.
Company officials say, making the labor data available to managers on a real-time basis, it is immediately stored in ExtendTime’s database. There is a very good interface provided for a multitude of HRMS, payroll, financial, accounting and ERP systems, which will benefit the companies.
“Because payroll comprises the largest operating expense in a company, accurate and efficient time tracking is critical to the bottom line,” says Said Khosrowshahi, president of Trident. “While it can seem daunting to replace outdated systems and manual practices with new technologies, this is the path to accurate time tracking and elimination of overpayments.”
Trident is not alone in offering time and labor tracking solutions. Recently, HourDoc, a time management technology company announced the re-launch of its HourDoc.com Time and Labor Management platform. HourDoc.com is an easy-to-use, web-based time and labor tracking system that provides companies advanced online tools to monitor and manage their employees.
