Think Time & Attendance and Access Control don’t Mingle? Think Again.
inFront, the leader in integrating time and attendance with access control, has now partnered with Lenel to offer TimeSentry®, a time and attendance plug-in module for the OnGuard total security management solution.
By adding TimeSentry, enterprises that have already installed the OnGuard access control system can increase the accuracy of their payroll system, gain significant efficiencies in payroll processing, and generate substantial cost savings through tighter cost and error control.
For organizations that already have the OnGuard system, it's an easy process to add TimeSentry, which requires no changes to OnGuard's existing network connections. Your trusted Lenel reseller handles the physical interconnection of devices, and inFront's experts ensure functional integration. They guide the entire process, from configuration and implementation to training.
Features of TimeSentry by inFront include:
- runs in the same environment as the OnGuard access control system, so total cost of ownership is minimized
|
|
- virtual time cards enable supervisors to quickly review and edit employee time data
|
- reports can be generated in multiple formats for printing inFront output to other applications
|
- labor distribution capability provides granular data on your labor force, to drive process improvements with business intelligence
|
- eliminate "buddy punching" through interface with the OnGuard access control system
|
- software design and inFront's expertise ensure data safety and integrity, as well as reliable interface with payroll, planning and other legacy systems
|
Can your organization benefit from integrating time and attendance with access control?

|
- Homeland Security regulations such as MTSA
|
- Industry specific requirements created by trade groups or councils

|
- Information security and privacy

|
|
|
|
- limits on how many or how few employees can work
|
- requirements for a certain number of people per shift
|
- requirements for certain types of people per shift
|
