Facing the challenge of integrating attendance and payroll software along with the inability to effectively restrict unauthorized access to its secured premises spread across 14 locations, a prominent financial institution sought a comprehensive multi-location solution. Additionally Looking forward to not maintaining a different software platform for employee directories, the institution grappled with operational inefficiencies and security concerns.
To overcome these hurdles, the institution was in search of an integrated cloud-based attendance system that seamlessly integrates with payroll, enhances access control measures, and consolidates employee directory management, ensuring streamlined operations and heightened security across its premises.
Matrix understood the client’s requirements for their attendance and access management system.
The challenges revolved around providing a cloud-based attendance system and access management processes, as outlined below:
- Need for Integrated User Events and Payroll Software
The financial institution struggled with managing attendance and payroll software separately, leading to inefficiencies and potential discrepancies in salary processing. There was a pressing need to integrate these systems for seamless data flow and improved payroll management.
- Inadequate Entry and Exit Security Measures
The institution faced difficulties in restricting unauthorized entry and exit into its secured premises, posing security risks. Strengthening access control measures was imperative to mitigate the threat of unauthorized access and safeguard personnel and assets.
- Need for a Single Employee Directory
Managing different software for employee directories would add complexity and inefficiency to administrative processes. Consolidating employee directory management into a unified platform was essential to ensure accuracy, consistency, and ease of access to employee information.
- Need for a Dedicated Server to Safeguard Data Integrity and Compliance
The client had strict requirements for data being used and one of their most important clauses was the non-usage of their main servers to manage third-party applications.
