Jabatan Bomba Negeri Selangor switches to Smart Attendance with TimeTec TA

Dynamic workforce requires a dynamic system; and to achieve improved efficiency in operation, Jabatan Bomba dan Penyelamat Malaysia Negeri Selangor had made a switch from the conventional punch card system attendance to a combination of FingerTec fingerprint biometrics and TimeTec TA Smart Attendance system.

Starting October 2020, Bomba Selangor equipped its headquarters and 36 of its branches in the state of Selangor with FingerTec TA100C, and each staff is furnished with TimeTec Mobile App installed on their smartphones for the on-the-go clocking.

The FingerTec fingerprint devices that are mainly installed at the premises are to ensure the authenticity and honesty of clocking data through biometrics verification, while TimeTec App on a smartphone is to cater to clocking attendance of firefighters and officers who are working on the field around Selangor. All clocking data collected from the devices are available on the web platform for the administrator to process.

“TimeTec TA is a great solution replacement for any punch card system. For one, companies cannot afford to waste the workforce doing menial tasks. The increase in operation cost nudges people to consider Digitalization. And for an organization like Bomba, they definitely need to know the whereabouts of their staff in real-time, to manage the schedule and to ensure that officers are available to respond during emergencies,” said Izhar Haji Ismail, Managing Director of Tech Central Solutions, TimeTec Reseller that installed the system in Bomba.

The automation of timekeeping data in TimeTec TA frees the admin from managing human errors and time discrepancies. All the data are readily-available for processing. “By using TimeTec TA, the work schedules are easily accessed and edited, and most importantly, supervisors at each branch can access to the system for a more effective shift planning. When any amendments are made, staff will receive a notification straight to the App instantly. That’s the effectiveness the client demands”, Izhar added. TimeTec TA offers companies with 999 schedules, 14 clocking columns and 38 reports to choose from. The tool on the smartphone holds employees responsible for their own data and ultimately improves workforce productivity and engagement.

“Digitalization of workforce data with TimeTec TA is straightforward. It requires less Capex without server installation, and its implementation and adoption are easy,” according to Syed Firdaus Syed Fuzi, Assistant Manager in Smart Workforce Division of TimeTec Cloud Sdn. Bhd. Having the right tool to monitor the attendance of employees, now Bomba can start focusing on what matters, savings lives and making every day better for the people.

TimeTec TA is available FREE for 3 months for all qualified SMEs in Selangor through PRODUTK, Program Digitalisasi Urus Tadbir Tenaga Kerja, a collaboration effort between the Group and the Selangor State Govt.
