Replicon Introduces Cloud Clock, the Industry's First Fully Cloud-Connected Device for Tracking Employee Time
Replicon Cloud Clock Provides Businesses Real-Time Visibility Into Employee Work Hours and Attendance to Ensure Payroll Is Error-Free, Timely and Compliant
(firmenpresse) - SAN MATEO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/15/11 -- Replicon Inc. today introduced , a first-of-its-kind, 100 percent cloud-based time clock. When combined with Replicon's Web-based time and attendance application, the Cloud Clock provides a unified cloud solution that eliminates the hassles and overwhelming expense of managing traditional time clocks.
The Replicon Cloud Clock helps businesses that have traditionally been unable to leverage cloud-based solutions, or do not have the time and resources to evaluate complex and expensive traditional time clock alternatives. The Replicon Cloud Clock brings the power of cloud computing to the time clock, allowing employers to instantly validate time clock punches, ensure that time and attendance records are accurate and report compliance at a moment's notice. Available for a flat price of $99 per clock, Replicon also provides continuously monitoring of the Cloud Clocks, eliminating the hassles, additional cost and downtime associated with repairs, maintenance and forklift upgrades. These features are vital to businesses that today are operating on slim margins and are dealing with weekly overtime hours that have nearly doubled in the past two years, according to Replicon research.
The Replicon Cloud Clock simplifies the process of collecting of time and attendance data from all employees, whether at one location or multiple remote ones, and delivers the information in real-time to Replicon's centralized, easy-to-use cloud-based application. The Replicon Cloud Clock offers a wide variety of benefits over traditional time clock solutions, including:
: The Replicon Cloud Clock offers a large, full-color multi-touch screen with a built-in camera that captures employee punches. It can create a photo audit trail to discourage "buddy punches," in which employees fraudulently punch in for a co-worker.
Managers can review, adjust and approve employees' hours in real-time, improving compliance and ensuring greater payroll accuracy. A single Replicon Cloud Clock can support all types of employees, including those with different shifts, and longer or shorter work hours.
Free upgrades are done remotely by Replicon, eliminating the downtime and cost associated with having to forklift out and dispose of old time clocks and install new devices.
Replicon monitors the clocks 24x7, 365 days a year to immediately address any problems. As a result, users do not need to purchase costly maintenance contracts and suffer downtime that is common with traditional time clock solutions.
The Replicon Cloud Clock can be installed and running in just days, as opposed to months, because it operates wirelessly and does not require any additional costly, proprietary wiring. It also is easy to set-up because administrators can control functionality of all time clocks, regardless of location, via Web-based configuration screens.
For $99 per month per clock, companies receive the Cloud Clock device, monitoring, maintenance and upgrades. No longer will businesses be forced to pay up to $12,000 for their hardware solutions, not to mention maintenance contracts fees that can add another 20 percent to the total cost.
"Today many companies are supplementing their workforce with additional hourly employees, requiring more overtime from existing employees and running multiple shifts each day, which makes it difficult to effectively manage time and attendance," said Lakshmi Raj, co-founder and co-CEO of Replicon. "By leveraging the power of the cloud for time tracking with its easy-to-use and fully integrated Cloud Clock, Replicon is helping businesses of all sizes to collect employee time in a hassle-free manner, improve compliance and stay on budget."
Replicon Cloud Clock's advanced capabilities help businesses address the challenges and costs of maintaining traditional punch clocks and managing their workforce. In fact, Replicon research shows that with its cloud-based solution, compliance for submitting completed employee timesheets increased to 85 percent within three months. Additionally, payroll error rates declined from as high as eight percent to 1.9 percent within one year of implementing Replicon.
Strained by the sluggish economy, many businesses are hesitant to make new hires and, instead, seem to be relying on existing employees to work more overtime hours. According to the latest Replicon Productivity Index, which examined data from nearly 1,000 participating companies over the past two years, weekly overtime hours have increased 58 percent. Now more than ever, it is critical that companies have real-time visibility into the hours worked to ensure they are managing employee time efficiently and are paying them accurately too.
The Replicon Productivity Index also revealed that while employees are averaging more overtime hours, the average number of hours per week has decreased nearly 14 percent in the past two years -- from 40.2 weekly hours in 2009 to 34.6 weekly hours in 2011 to date. Additionally, employees are taking more vacation time this year. Based on Index data, employees are on track to greatly outpace the number of vacation days taken year-over-year from 12 vacation days on average per year in 2010 to nearly 15 days off in 2011.
