CS Frontline, a company in the JSE-listed CS Holdings group, has announced the latest version of Kronos Timekeeper Central, the newest version of Kronos` time and attendance application for small- and mid-sized (200 to 1000 employees) organisations.
Timekeeper Central automates the time-consuming and complex collection and processing of employee time, and is ideal for organisations that place a high level of importance upon self-sufficiency in installation and deployment, as well as ease of maintenance.
Timekeeper Central provides the tools for a company to correctly and consistently apply company work rules and pay policies, manage employee benefit time and deliver real-time labour information to frontline supervisors who need to make timely labour management decisions. By providing the industry`s most comprehensive set of user-definable parameters, Timekeeper Central can be quickly installed and easily re-configured without custom programming.
"Timekeeper Central gives mid-market companies the ability to reap the many productivity gains that frontline labour management technology can provide without the need for a complex IS infrastructure," says Andre Matthysen of CS Frontline. "We are seeing strong demand for this product from both our mid-size customers who want to upgrade their existing Kronos systems and from new customers who haven`t had the technical resources needed to implement and support more complex technology."
The introduction of a new Data Collection Module and associated device wizards simplifies the setup of data collection terminals by allowing customers to configure them from a central PC.
A new ODBC-compliant commercial embedded database automates many system administration tasks. It also works to maintain data integrity and minimise database administration support via built-in integrity checks and pre-emptive self-repair functions. At the same time, the database allows those with ODBC knowledge to gain direct access to the time and attendance data and more powerfully leverage third party reporting tools such as Crystal Reports, Microsoft Access and Microsoft Excel.
Timekeeper Central runs under Microsoft Windows 95/ Windows 98 or Windows NT and can be installed on the desktop or local area network (LAN). Wide area network (WAN) configurations are also possible through the use of Citrix WinFrame.
The JSE-listed CS Holdings group of companies owns Kronos`s interests in South Africa through its CS Frontline subsidiary.
