TIME MASTER - Time Attendance System

Managing time, and paying on the same time is a complex task especially with a large number of employees. Endeavour’s TimeMaster can help you achieve this with ease and minimal manual intervention.

Our TimeMaster suite is a complete system including a choice of hardware clocking systems, and software that fits easily into your business structure and gives greater control over your workforce. You can choose from a wide range of hardware clocking devices such as the tamper proof handpunch machine, a finger print reader or a card based machine.

TimeMaster is designed and developed to cater for all sizes and types of organizations from the small to medium to the large sized and its unique scalable and parameterized system makes it versatile to suit the needs of organizations across industries and sectors. TimeMaster has been installed and is successfully running in more than 200 units in sub-Saharan Africa ranging from agro based farms to manufacturing units to hotels and lodges, steel plants, banks, and retail outlets.

Rich in features and functionalities, the TimeMaster has been specifically developed to integrate with our best selling payroll software, PayMaster and Access control software AccessMaster.

Hand Punch
An absolutely tamper proof system to avoid buddy punching. The duality of the system ensures that employees not only show their proximity card but also punch in their hand in the machine to record their attendance. The system checks the geometry of the hand instead of the hand/finger print. This System works on 3D picture of hand (thickness, lenth and width). The universality of the system and the machines makes it workable in any type of industrial environment even with wet, dirty or greasy hands – a clear advantage over the Finger print reader system. The Hand Punch machine is also efficient and easy to use with an average time of 3 seconds to punch attendance with 0% rejection rate. This system is capable of managing upto 34,000 employees (wtih an option to increase this with an extended memory )at a single location, and with the integrated software can manage unlimited number of shifts. Companies also have the option of generating various attendance and payroll analysis reports for both Permanent and Casual Employees directly from this system.

Fingerprint
With the finger print sensor it is easy to enhance security and eliminate buddy punching. The process of authentication is automated whereby the employee's identity is confirmed by examining a unique physiological trait – the fingerprint. It provides a high level of security with safe and user-friendly interface for your Time and Attendance Management. This system can also be integrated with the RFID reader which can help to reduce the False Rejection Ratio The Finger print reader supports 1:1 or 1:many authentication concept and depending on the different applications of fingerprint readers, you can choose from a wide variety of models. All readers come with a high resolution sensor.

 

Card-based Technology
This is an easy to use system with a contact less card technology where the employee just shows the card to the clock in order to record his/her attendance. Radio Frequency cards and clocks do not require any maintenance for years together and are suitable for any type of industry and working environment. Clocks work on TCP/IP to connect to the existing computers (Ethernet) network for easy and efficient attendance management and as an additional benefit, the clocks can be fully integrated with Time Attendance and Payroll Software.
