Mobile Emerging as the New 'Attendance Kiosk'

Mobile Emerging as the New 'Attendance Kiosk'Mobile is making it possible to take attendance at work in an entirely new way.

Sensing a ripe market opportunity, Ramco Systems announced on Monday that its HR & Talent Management solution, Ramco HCM on Cloud (Human Capital Management) will now be available with GPS (Global Positioning System) and NFC (Near Field Communication) Support.

In other words, the solution has effectively gone mobile.

So what does that mean exactly? With this new feature, Ramco HCM will offer its customers an option to record NFC based time and attendance to authenticate, trace, and interact with employees at various levels.

In an increasingly changing business environment where a sizeable number of employees are on the move addressing business needs in remote locations, the need to capture employee attendance and integrating it back to payroll has become a challenge. Also businesses are unable to get complete visibility of workforce distribution to enable them to plan resource allocation effectively.

“Ramco is driving a move towards enabling a ‘Digital Enterprise’ and with Internet of Things becoming mainstream, we are using the tectonic shift in technology to drive business benefits in a manner not thinkable earlier,” says Virender Aggarwal, the CEO of Ramco Systems. “With the emergence of a young breed of millennial workforce, HR Managers are forced to relook at their current systems. With the launch of GPS and NFC based attendance system, we are providing enterprises with a new technology to address the attendance, billing and payroll needs of a complex workforce.”
