ORLANDO, Fla. (April 23, 2007) – Sanford based Seminole Masonry is a construction service firm with 150 employees and payroll that approaches $7 million annually. By utilizing a new digitized BioTraits Time Manager System, Seminole Masonry documented savings of more than $180,000 annually by eliminating wasted time and effort.
Ricardo Aguiler is president of BioTraits, Inc., the company that developed the Internet-based BioTraits Time Manager system. The system employs a sophisticated software program along with wireless remote devices. Seminole Masonry is one of his early clients, and the company’s documented results strongly validate the return on investment of BioTrait’s Time Manager System.
Seminole Masonry operates eight crew trucks manned by construction superintendents. Each superintendent is responsible for seeing that construction workers get paid for the time they actually spend at work.
BioTraits Time Manager includes wireless terminals that fit into the glove compartments of foremen’s trucks. It enables on-site workers to “punch” a time clock remotely, using a fingerprint or a proximity code card that automatically records the identity of the worker.
“They digitized their time card process which saved on administrative costs. They now have validated data that accurately accounts for the time the employees worked. By reducing internal labor costs and eliminating overpay, they saved enough to pay for the entire system in the first three months,” said Aguiler.
At Davenport Insurance, a small business with only five employees, the owner imbedded a BioTraits Time Manager system and immediately reported a substantial boost in productivity. “The owner began paying his employees for the time they worked, not the time they reported to the office, and found that productivity increased by more than 30 percent,” said Aguilar.
“He was able to hire more professional employees and expand his business with the savings we generated,” he said.
Aguilar said BioTraits Time Manager can be easily adapted to hospitals, financial institutions, and public service agencies such as law enforcement and social service providers, BioTraits expects sales in 2007 to continue growing rapidly as organizations seek effective ways to reduce costs and improve productivity.
