Highlights for SmartLinx Award winning product development and customer service:
Gold Stevie® Award:
- Touchless and Thermal-Sensing Time Clocks and Apps. SmartLinx developed three next-gen time clocks to address new challenges amidst the pandemic. The Touchless Time Clock enables contactless punch in or out through a QR code generated on the SmartLinx Go app. Building on the contactless authentication capabilities, the Thermal-Sensing Touchless Time Clock supports temperature screening for employees as they punch in. Finally, SmartLinx Advanced Timeclock for Employees (SLATE) combines the latest innovations in touchless and thermal-sensing technologies with integrated time tracking and employee scheduling to help operators safeguard their facilities and enhance workforce operations.
Silver Stevie® Awards:
- Most Valuable Corporate Response to Pandemic. At the outset of COVID-19, SmartLinx recognized the need for a quick, decisive response to equip their clients with the means to protect vulnerable senior residents. SmartLinx was the first to market with a contactless timeclock, followed by two additional new devices to mitigate the risk of disease transmission. SmartLinx provided key functionality and reporting to support COVID-19 compliance requirements, developed a community board and FAQs for customers to share critical information about workforce regulations and also produced three educational webinars for further guidance: Staffing in a Crisis, Staffing for Success in the Pandemic and Navigating the New Norm with Best Staffing Practices.
- Human Capital Management Solution. On the product roadmap for nearly a decade, SLATE was introduced in January 2021. The SmartLinx Product team included their customers' most requested features in the first version of the clock. SLATE's 10-inch screen lets staff easily identify and fix issues on the spot. The Wi-Fi-enabled timeclock supports all smartphones and can be placed anywhere an operator wants to track attendance and detect fevers. SLATE's software-as-a-service (SaaS), Clock on Cloud infrastructure also automatically updates facilities with new enhancements.
