Tensor.NET is a world-class web enabled Time & Attendance and Integrated
Security Management System.
It combines the requirements of Time and Attendance, Access Control,
Visitor Control, Identification, Rostering and Job Costing, with our
fast Smart Card and biometrics electronics, to create the ultimate Time
Management and Security system.
Built with the latest .NET software technology and coupled with a robust
SQL Server database backend, our proposed solution WinTA.NET is second
to none. |

FEATURES: |
Handles all major hours calculation methods
All frequently used methods of hours calculation are handled by
Tensor.NET. From simple determination of overtime by the number of daily
hours worked to the more complex payment of overtime hours adjusted when
periodic targets are not met, Tensor.NET can supply working rules to
calculate the correct result. It contains special rules to accommodate
the formal flexitime contracts worked by many public sector employees.
Workers paid on an annual contract basis can be handled by the
annualised hours procedures and reports within Tensor.NET. A number of
basic rules control how hours are calculated. These include settings to
separate "worked time" into:
- different overtime rates
- handle night shift working
- inserting unpaid breaks if employees do not clock them
You can also enable breaks to activate between set times, and/or after a
minimum number of hours have been worked. The optional auto-clockout
feature allows the system to automatically clock an employee out at a
specified time if no clockings are made.
Work patterns are a combination of daily rules that are either a
repeating patterns of shifts or a list of alternative rules. Here,
Tensor.NET will predict the most appropriate shift depending on when an
employee starts work. Each type of pattern can be set up to override the
normal pattern and use a specific shift on public holidays.
Tensor.NET's appearance is highly customisable. 20 different desktop
themes are provided to allow you to colourise the application to suit
your mood. Most system information is displayed on tabbed pages; these
may be dragged and docked to form a wide variety of screen formats;
useful when comparing several sets of information |
Absence planning and entitlement management
Graphical calendar charts provide a colourful way of viewing an
individual's or a department's absence records. Each employee can be
allocated different entitlements for absence such as annual leave or
allowed sickness.
As absence is booked and taken, the available remainder for each
entitlement is updated. Entitlement formulae are used to calculate more
complex entitlements that work on a rising scale based upon length of
service. |
Time and Attendance Absenteeism & Lateness reporting
Accurate information about absenteeism and lateness is crucial for many
businesses. Tensor.NET provides this information through warning email
notifications, SMS messaging direct to a supervisor's mobile or via
hardcopy reports. The system quickly identifies missing employees that
are expected to be at work and then informs you via automatic email
reporting. |
Bonus payments
The system allows you to create a series of shift premium rules that
enable employees to earn bonus payments under special circumstances. The
bonus is calculated either as extra hours or monetary amounts and can be
included in the export to payroll. |
Working Time Regulations
Tensor.NET includes all the rules laid down in the WTR; rules can be
modified to suit your company's Working Time agreements. You are
pre-warned when applying a shift pattern that will result in a WTR
infringement. Standard reports show:
- average hours worked during any period
- instances when rest day rules have been broken
- when night workers are due a health assessment
|
Easy to use Search facility
Masses of information can be a handicap if you can't find what you are
looking for quickly. Tensor.NET uses a context sensitive search facility
to pin point exactly what you need to find. Searches can be by part of a
code or name, and results limited by both standard and customised
filters.
|
Manning levels
Manning levels in Tensor.NET are based upon employee skills required
during the working week. Any shortfalls to the expected requirement, due
to absenteeism for example, can trigger a system email or SMS alerts. A
separate module is available for rostering and manpower scheduling. |
Analysis & Reporting
Preinstalled report templates can be customised to easily create new
reports. The report wizard guides users through each stage of the design
process to quickly configure basic settings. Here, advanced users can
load reports into a fully featured report designer where the properties
of each report element can be fine-tuned to their requirements. Reports
can be generated on demand or scheduled for automatic printing. Either
way, these can be distributed via email, published to a website or saved
in a variety of file formats including Excel XLS and Adobe Reader PDF.
|
Screen Designer
To satisfy every imaginable information recording requirement. This
feature allows advanced users to create their own custom database
tables. Graphical tools are provided to "draw" common application
controls such as drop down lists and tick boxes onto new forms that are
seamlessly included within the application interface. Properties then
link the new input screens (controls) to a specific field in the
customised database table. |
Highly configurable Fire Roll Call
Safety is ensured when clocks and Access Control units are linked into
your company's fire alarm system to trigger a fast, automated fire
evacuation list. From the most basic "on site" reporting, to the
individual tracking of employee's movement between fire zone/fire
assembly points, the Fire Roll Call can be tailored to meet your safety
requirements. |
Job Costing & Labour Hours analysis
Using a Smart Card and input device (keypad, barcode scanner etc),
workers can book time against jobs to produce a fully costed analysis
and breakdown of time spent on each job. Reports show Jobs that are over
budget or those approaching their budget limit. This information can
also be exported to a spreadsheet. |
Real time communications
Timely information is increasingly important within business. The new
range of T32xx clocks actively communicate with the computer system when
a person clocks, books them ON to a job or uses their card to open a
door. Real time communications provides you with the information as it
occurs. |
Time and Attendance Security & Identity Fraud Proof
Access to Tensor.NET is strictly controlled using passwords, pins or
biometrics. Users are restricted to menu options granted to them,
structured around pre-installed configurable 'roles'. Restrictions by
sub section or at a topic level are possible. |
Payroll Export
A major requirement of any Time & Attendance system is the ability to
export information to the payroll system. Tensor is the leader in this
field and has worked with all of the major payroll packages. Tensor.NET
has a wide range of configuration options to extract payroll information
in exactly the correct format. It can share or receive information from
3rd party applications by using readily available interface modules.
Data transfers can occur either on demand or more usually as an
automated process. |
Full audit trail of system activity
All user activity within the system is recorded for audit purposes, with
time & date transactions of information both before and after changes.
Logs also maintain records of system events for fault finding and
trouble shooting. |
Multi lingual within the same system
Language is not a barrier with Tensor.NET as it's both multi lingual and
linked to the regional settings of your PC. In this way "local" formats
are used when displaying currency, dates and times. Other PC's in the
same multi national system would use their own language settings. |
On line auto upgrade facility
Companies with maintenance support are eligible to receive automatic
upgrades to Tensor.NET via the Internet. |
Upgrade path for legacy users
Existing customers can upgrade to Tensor.NET. Many new application
concepts have been incorporated and updated for use in the new system.
Users of WinTA Enterprise and WinTA Lite will recognise many familiar
menu options. A specially developed upgrade tool is used to migrate all
information from legacy systems into the new system's databases. |
Graphical display of information
A powerful tool within Tensor.NET to convey information and show trends.
Graphical representations are provided on displays dealing with absence,
shift patterns, access permissions and many more. |
One application / many modules
Tensor.NET is part of the new suite of .NET applications. It can be
combined with many other modules to provide one seamless application
that meets all of your HR and security needs. Access Control, Personnel,
CCTV, Visitor Monitoring, Automatic Number Plate Recognition and ID
Badge Designer are all modules available to increase the power of your
application. |
Small and large businesses
Available in Lite, Small Business and Enterprise versions, Tensor.NET is
cost-effective for those employing from 10 to 10,000+ staff; all the
same core functionality but with differing staff number and remote
locations supported. The flagship Enterprise edition allows a Group
headquarters to control each subsidiary business that in turn, may each
be operating from different local or international locations. All
editions are suitable for use with SQL or Oracle databases. |
