Challenges

Prior to Container First Services’ switch to EasyClocking’s web based time and attendance software they were stuck in the archaic world of manual time and attendance processing. Container First Services knew that in order to sustain their upward trajectory of growth and success a flexible, yet reliable, cloud based time and attendance system would be needed to match their grand ambitions. Their previous system of manual time management was inefficient, causing strain as well as added labor to employees and managers alike. With multiple locations,the need to provide accurate vacation times, sick leave accruals, and employee work hours to their payroll provider, a change in their clock in system was deemed a necessity.

The EasyClocking Solution

Having determined a need for a cloud based time and attendance system Container First Services went in search for the best time clock software around.  Container First Services settled on EasyClocking’s EC500-W biometric fingerprint time clocks due to the benefits provided with their multi spectral fingerprint scanning technology.  This premium biometric fingerprint time clock eliminates “buddy punching” the practice wherein one worker would clock-in for another. The EC500-W biometric fingerprint time clock provides Container First Services with a real time view of the time and attendance of employees, all of which is broadcasted wirelessly to the EasyClocking software. The EasyClocking software provided grants Container First Services the possibilities to manage job costings (a task management feature), paid time off management, mobile solutions, timesheets, and scheduling. Unlike most time clocks sold today the EC500-W also has the added benefit of being a standalone device with an internal battery in case of power outages and does not require a computer to collect employee time. Container First Services purchase of four EC500-W’s to be used throughout their operations accomplished their goal of having a reliable yet flexible time and attendance solution for their business.
