Leading Australian manufacturer streamlines with Mitrefinch Time and Attendance
Eaton Electric Systems are one of Australia's leading manufacturers of power distribution equipment, electrical control products and advanced industrial automation solutions.
The Company has 220 employees at its modern manufacturing plant at Mascot, NSW.
With a growing market and expanding workforce the decision was taken in early 2002 to look for a new time and attendance system which could accommodate the evolving needs of the company.
Eaton Group's IT Manager, Ian Chidgey explains: "Although our old computerised system had previously met our needs it was becoming increasingly obvious that it was not being upgraded or updated to the extent of competing systems on the market."
"We also needed a solution that could readily integrate with our security system at some stage in the future."
"We invited Mitrefinch to demonstrate its TMS system and following an extensive evaluation it became clear that TMS was as technically advanced as the other products available yet more cost effective."
"It was an added benefit was that the system provides good value for money as the price was well within our budget."
The TMS system is also a vital tool for Eatons' Payroll Department as it provides a wealth of information at the press of a button.
Eaton Group's Payroll Manager, Stacey Barton has been working with time and attendance systems for many years: "Mitrefinch's TMS is simple to use, requires minimal training and provides accurate information as and when I need it."
"I wanted a system that was really easy to use on a day to day basis, and Mitrefinch's TMS has proved to be exactly that!"
"The transition was smooth and within a few weeks the system was 'live', and had been delivered on-time and was on-budget."
"Our staff have also taken to the system as it is much easier to use than our previous system and it provides them with access to their personal information at the clocking terminals."
"An unexpected advantage of installing TMS has been that we have been able to change some of our work practises to great benefit. By converting to proximity cards instead of using home grown ID cards we have been able to make further administrative savings."
"The system has proved to be highly reliable and I can interface with our MicroPay payroll system with just the click of the mouse."
"TMS also provides a long term solution for us as we envisage expanding the system to include Mitrefinch's Access Control option in the near future."
"We are delighted with the TMS system. We recently required some configuration changes to the system to meet our ever changing business needs and the flexibility of TMS is very reassuring."
