As part of our consultative process, our account executives are asked to explore the requirements of the customer before highlighting exciting features of our employee time management system. And for good reason; we want make sure we meet the customers’ core requirements as they pertain to employee time tracking. The fundamental areas of time and attendance software remain constant; tracking of employee hours, overtime, premiums, statutory holidays, adhering to collective bargaining agreements and data integration with a payroll or other business applications. 

There is a belief that if the customer sees the sexy features of a product, they will be dazzled into an immediate purchase and ask questions about the core requirements later on. However, we believe that when the focus is on the core fundamentals of the time tracking system—coupled with the application of those exciting new modules, it can yield outstanding results.

ATS TimeWork time and attendance software calculates and automates a company’s specific manual activities as it relates to payroll and other business and labour analytics. For numerous organizations this means simplifying the method of attendance management while improving multi-dimensional operational reporting. The result is business intelligence software that will optimize your workforce; provide scalability, energy efficiency, powerful performance, and low total cost of ownership.

Choosing the right time and attendance vendor is fundamental to achieving the full advantages of an on-demand solution. Here are some key considerations to take into account in choosing a provider:

Security
Some providers claim to have a “web-based” solution which requires you to host the software on your company’s server. That’s not true cloud. Of course, some companies have the IT departments and prefer to host the application, but the whole point of true cloud computing is to ease the burden on the customer. Reduce your risk by making sure you ask your vendor the tough questions and understand their proven performance for other companies.

Savings
Some companies start off thinking about the cloud by comparing service provider rates. Price is important but, it’s only part of the equation. Without a doubt, an advantage of Software-as-a- Service (SaaS) is that it can be less expensive than what some companies spend on other solutions.

Deployment
True SaaS should be deployed in a few weeks not many months or years. We recognize some companies have complex requirements but since the software is not installed on your company’s server and desktops, the process should be quick and seamless.

Fancy Features
Yes, we have them as well, but prefer to focus on the fundamentals. The goal should be on the configurability of the software as it relates to your company’s requirements. Once that’s established, everything else should follow.

Pay for what you Use
One of the advantages of a subscription based application like SaaS is that you only pay for what you use. For customers interested in additional models that means a product with scalability. 

Still not sure if cloud time and attendance is the right solution for you? Contact an ATS account executive. You will be pleasantly surprised at the savings, speed and flexibility available to you.

Some of the consumers who called in complained that upon arrival at the participating businesses, the products that they were hoping to scoop up with their coupons were all gone. Others said their coupons were not honoured and they were asked to purchase a higher priced item. Business owners on the other hand, lamented that the bargain-hunters wanted products of greater value and higher price points, but did not want to pay for them.

While companies have been sending out coupons to consumers for many years, companies like Groupon and the TV show “Extreme Couponing” has made it trendy to collect coupons.  Janice M. is a contributing blogger to the site “Talking Cents” she recently wrote a piece titled “To Clip or Not to Clip? The Great Coupon Debate.” Here is an excerpt of that blog:

“People love coupons. As you know, if you read my recent grocery challenge update, I am not one of those people. Not only are coupons not necessary for a thrifty lifestyle, but they can even be detrimental to your wallet and your budget. According to Nielson Clearing House (NCH), 78% of consumers report using coupons on a regular basis. This stat alone implies that my stand on coupons is not parallel with the majority. Although plenty of you won’t agree with me, the following are a few reasons why I don’t clip coupons.

More often than not the coupons out there provide a discount on the items that are the priciest. Therefore, you are not getting the best deal on a specific item (i.e. cereal) you are just getting a discounted price on the already higher priced, premium item (i.e. brand name cereal). I’ve seen it first-hand (as I know I’ve mentioned before). I’ve clipped the coupon, gone to the store, and realized that I can get the same item (different brand) at a cheaper price without using a coupon.”

Shopping for consumer items like frozen pizza, ice-cream and chocolate bars with coupons is one thing. When shopping for a time and attendance system the coupon bargain-hunter mentality should not apply.  A time and attendance software streamlines payroll, increases productivity and is a long term investment. While it is true that some of the basics might be similar, the manner in which an employee time management application computes data is different. Moreover, implementation and after-sales support should also play a large role when comparing software solutions.

At ATS, we do not sell a one size fits all cloud-based time and attendance system. That’s why we remain committed to offering a broad range of workforce management solutions that give companies flexibility and choice.
