How to experience a 60% reduction in Absenteeism Through Automation

Datamatics TC-1 labor management software brings immediate and identifiable paybacks to customers by optimizing their labor processes.

FORDS - NJ, April 16, 2003 -- Achieving the highest possible return on your investment is a common goal amongst all consumers. A products success is primarily measured by its Return on Investment. While todays marketplace has made it increasingly difficult for companies to invest in new technology, some investments, such as Datamatics TC-1 Labor Management Software, present an almost immediate and identifiable payback-a significant reason why consumers continue to invest in the solution.

Many of Datamatics customers decide to automate their labor processes to minimize costs associated with payroll preparation, and increase accuracy and efficiency in computing payroll. Alcoa, the world's leading producer of primary aluminum, fabricated aluminum, and alumina, recently implemented Datamatics TC-1 solution to prevent erroneous time records and keep work rules fair. Alcoa Project Coordinator Steve Melton claims, Absenteeism was running at 4% and after getting TC-1 up and running it has dropped dramatically to 1.5% or less. We were able to lower our payroll processing hours from several days down to 15 minutes. The implementation process was very easy and fully addressed all of our work rules." When asked how the projected Return on Investment compares to actual savings Melton responded, It has exceeded it! We saw a savings of $50,000."

Another reason customers derive a measurable return from their TC-1 solution is based on their ability to gain timely information for decision making control, and process comprehensive data on attendance and work distribution. With TC-1, companies reduce unauthorized overtime, unearned benefit time, tardiness, etc. Improved performance is established through productivity and recognition, while Managers are able to encourage consistent and unbiased enforcement of work policies. After using TC-1 for several months, Keith Andreotta from Charmant Group states that TC-1 has been a tremendous help in tracking benefit hours". A leading manufacturer and wholesale distributor of ophthalmic eyewear and sunglasses, Charmant Group decided to automate labor related processes for accuracy purposes. The company also benefits from TC-1s ability to expedite the payroll process.

Datamatics success with TC-1 can be attributed to their many years of expertise in the business and dedication to providing quality support. The beginning stages of their expertise in labor management began as early as 1969 and the software has evolved ever since. The product today is a manifestation of the companys work to address thousands of clients needs. The company is equipped with a staff of seasoned professionals ready to address the most complex technical issues. A recent customer, Brown University, implemented TC-1 to automate scheduling and track time records in real-time. Of Datamatics support, Project Leader Christine Brown stated, Datamatics support has been incredible. I have never had any trouble contacting anybody and Ive never had to wait more than 24 hours for an answer and they have gone above and beyond with their assistance."
