Instant access
control makes for seamless event management Hospitality staffing specialists, Innstaff turned to a high-tech solution to manage 200 temporary workers at this year’s Durban July, ensuring seamless access control as well as saving three days of manual data capturing to produce its payroll. “We provided hospitality staff for around eight different marquees operating at the Durban July,” says Innstaff Contracts Manager Carrie-Ann Howse. “We needed a single access point where staff could clock in and out, and where we could issue uniforms and equipment and perform security checks.” One access point for multiple sites, ensures all employees working at the same event, are monitored effectively by Invisinet. Instaff approached Invisinet, whose wireless access control has previously been deployed everywhere from remote rural construction sites to urban offices. “Our access control solution is completely wireless, portable and can be deployed at very short notice,” says Invisinet’s Clint Mason. “At the Durban July we didn’t even need a plug point — we ran the entire system off batteries for the day.” Mason further adds that “the simplicity of the infrastructure ensures portability, easy set up and usage on the day, allowing our clients to focus on what they do best.” Invisinet scanned Innstaff employees’ ID documents at entrance and exit, eliminating the need to issue access control cards or capture biometric information such as fingerprints. “The system was incredibly quick to set up and easy to use,” says Howse. Innstaff General Manager Lynne Van Loggerenberg adds that, “We received reports within minutes of commencement of the shift, and knew exactly how many staff we had on site and the allocation per cost centre. It also saved valuable time and eliminated the human error factor as the time sheets were imported directly into our payroll system.”
“Invisinet took the whole burden of staff time and attendance
monitoring off our hands,” says Howse. “We were able to concentrate
on making sure that we delivered a great service to our clients
instead of spending all our time on admin such as documentation and
time management. It’s definitely something we’ll use at future
events.” |

Invisinet offers SA's first GPRS-based managed time, attendance
solution Invisinet Technologies has launched an easy-to-use wireless device, the iLOG, to enable companies to monitor employee attendance in real-time. "The iLOG is incredibly easy and cost-effective to install and use," says Invisinet's Réan van Niekerk, one of the company's founding directors. "It can integrate with most existing access control systems, and just about any technology for logging people in and out of their workplaces - including biometrics, bar code scanners, proximity readers, magstripe cards and so on. That means companies don't need to make any major changes to their existing infrastructure or work practices to use it. It can be installed and working seamlessly within a couple of days." The device is constantly connected to Invisinet's secure servers using the national GPRS infrastructure, says Van Niekerk. "Site managers can get full attendance reports within minutes after the end of a shift, including from multiple or remote locations. The information can be exported in all standard formats for direct import into payroll packages, eliminating the need for timesheets and manual data capturing."
Invisinet
Technologies is part of the Metacom group of companies, along with
Datalinx Technologies, which produces the CellPAD device for
wireless transaction processing. Metacom provides the group with a
common technical base, while Invisinet's specialist knowledge of
time and attendance-related business processes is supplied by
founding directors Charles Robinson and Clint Mason, both of whom
have substantial experience in the temporary employment industry.
