BioTraits Makes The Workload Easier

ORLANDO, Fla. (Aug. 9, 2007) – As a human resources director, Christy Doyle used to spend an entire day processing the payroll for the 100 employees at Quality One Wireless in Oviedo.

But, thanks to BioTraits Time Manager System, she now has time to do the payroll, plus the work she used to push aside every week.

“It has made my job a lot easier,” Doyle said, adding that she wishes she’d had the I-Guard Finger Scanner system sooner. “What used to take me an entire day to do payroll now only takes me about an hour.”  The finger scanner is a the first commercial product of BioTraits.

Another benefit of the I-Guard Finger Scanner is its accuracy.  “It’s a lot more accurate,” she said. “There will be no more ‘buddy punching’.”

Even the employees seem to like it, she said, because instead of lining up to use one time clock, they now have two machines to use and it doesn’t take as long for them to clock in.

While the wireless company uses BioTraits’ I-Guard Finger Scanner to replace their time clock inside their building, BioTraits’ sophisticated software program also can be used as a mobile time clock, according to Ricardo Aguilar, BioTraits co-owner and president

A Sanford-based construction company has installed wireless Time Manager terminals in eight foremen’s trucks. It allows the company’s 150 workers to clock in and out remotely with their fingerprints at each worksite with job code tracking capability.

The high-tech Internet-based system, which the construction company says has already shown substantial savings by eliminating wasted time, allows employees to be paid for the actual time they are working.

The system is designed as a high-tech time clock to log employee entries, exits and security, while it provides easy management of worker productivity.

If sales are any indication, BioTraits products – which control verification, access, security and time and attendance – are really catching on. And, because the system is easily adapted for use just about anywhere, even small businesses can and are benefiting from them, Aguilar said. 

Aguilar co-founded the company with Peter Wengert in 2003as Biometrics Data Solutions International at the UCF Technology Incubator
