TimePilot Enterprise also gives remote users the ability to transmit their clock-in and clock-out data to the TimePilot database at their "headquarters." The data collected by the remote clocks is sent via "the Cloud" to headquarters.
To use this feature, you'll need an account at Dropbox, a free Cloud service.
To better illustrate this feature, here are two fictional examples:
Smith State Bank uses TimePilot timeclocks to track its employees' work hours. The bank has a TimePilot Vetro timeclock at its main office and Vetros at its two branches. The Vetros at the main office and at Branch No. 1 run on local area networks within each building. The Vetro at Branch No. 2 is not on a network. All three facilities have internet access.
Here's what happens at each location:
In all three situations, all the employee clock-ins and clock-outs end up in the TimePilot database at the main office. It doesn't matter to the software which clock the employee uses: Each clock-in or clock-out is identified by its location, so if necessary employees can clock in for the day at one office and clock out for the day at another.
Jones Construction has weatherproof, battery-powered TimePilot Extreme Blue clocks at three remote construction sites. The sites are 50 miles away from the company's main office, where office employees use a TimePilot Vetro connected to a PC to clock in and out.
The three foremen at the construction sites have iPhones or Android phones with the TimePilot Extreme Blue App.
Here's what happens at each location:
Whether local or remote, all the employee clock-ins and clock-outs end up in the TimePilot database at the main office. It doesn't matter to the software which clock the employee uses: Each clock-in or clock-out is identified by its location, so if necessary employees can clock in for the day at one work site and clock out for the day at another.
