The operation flow is almost the same in both solutions. The difference is in the connectivity, whereby TimeTec
Web is not necessarily Internet-based while TimeTec Cloud is internet-based and its data available on Cloud.

22. TIMETEC MOBILE EXPLAINED
TimeTec Mobile is an application developed by FingerTec for mobile devices i.e. iPhone/iPad/Android and the latest Blackberry smartphones.
The Functions
Report attendance on mobile devices using GPRS tag.
Check attendance data on mobile devices.
How it Works
The TimeTec server pairs a mobile device ID with a unique username/password for every device (1 device 1 user rule).
The mobile device user can report attendance and his mobile device ID along with TimeTec verification details and GPS location which will be saved in the server.
The user attendance details are also available from the server for easy viewing .
The application allows valid users to use other mobile devices, but ONLY to check attendance and not to report attendance to avoid buddy-punching.
TimeTec Mobile can only transfer and display accurate data when Internet connectivity is available. Without it, checking of attendance will be recorded in offline mode and uploaded when the mobile device comes back online.

23. TIMETEC MOBILE EXPLAINED
More Info
Group Check-In on a single device – Available for manager/supervisor. The manager/supervisor can record attendance of the staff using his/her device.
The administrator has the highest authority level, as he can view and print records of any user. However, for his own attendance reporting he needs to change to mode to Normal user.
Charges
The application can be downloaded for FREE.
Licenses are chargeable at a very minimal price.

24. WEB CHECK-IN EXPLAINED
TimeTec Web Check-In is a tool that enables TimeTec users to log in to the TimeTec Server using their individual username/password and report their attendance via a web browser.
The Functions
Offers alternative to customers to use TimeTec even though they do not have any FingerTec terminals installed in the system.
How it Works
The TimeTec server captures the date and time of a user’s laptop/PC during the Web Check-In process. The date and time of the laptop/PC is always synced to the Internet time zone once the connection is established.
More Info
The TimeTec Web Check-In solution is suitable for all small outlets/branches with a relatively small number of employees.
Charges
The application is available with every installation of TimeTec.
Licenses are chargeable at a very minimal price.

25. TIMETEC BENEFITS Centralizes all Clocking Data for an Efficient System
Clocking data from all terminals, mobile devices, and web check-ins will be downloaded automatically to a central cloud server at any time a verification is performed. With TimeTec Cloud, data is available securely for your easy access at anytime from anywhere.
Optimizes Labor Cost with a Consistent Application of Work and Pay Rules
Nobody wants to pay more than what they are supposed to. With TimeTec, you determine your company’s own rules to be applied in the system to achieve the optimum labor ROI.
Minimizes Compliance Risks
When policies and rules of the company are determined earlier, the compliance risks are reduced to a minimum, making the workforce management tasks hassle-free and worry-free.
Improves Workforce Quality Time by Reducing Manual and Timely Admin Tasks
Data is readily available in TimeTec and its processing can be done at the push of a button, giving employees more time to engage in value-added activities during company time.
