Instant
Data Labor Reporting was designed to interface with our generic data
collection software. Our base software product provides the ability to
collect, edit,
store and file transfer update any and all data requirements. This
software
communicates with bar-code, magnetic, and optical scanning devices and
provides
standard collected data inquiries and printed reports along with SQL
data reporting
capability .
The
Labor Reporting Module is a powerful and flexible software product that
allows
one to quickly match existing company labor reporting procedures. A 100
employee
facility would typically require about 1 day to setup, assign and
define required data.
The
employees would be given a identifying badge and would scan this badge
and
other order information through a barcode reader at either the start of
a job, end of
the job or at start and end of a job, Lunch time can be automatically
deducted from
job hours without employee reporting lunch activity. This scanned data
is made
immediately available for labor reporting.
Labor
hours are rounded to company policy. On a daily or weekly bases a
supervisor
would reviews and approves employee records through a on-line
maintenance screen
or through available reports. The supervisor can maintained hours of
work and can
report unreported hours. . (Vacation, medical, holidays, jury duty
etc.) Once approved,
hours are ready for interface with job costing application or for
reporting labor hours &
dollars cost by part number or order number. The scanning of the
employee badge
can also be used to allows facility access.
All
software products have been designed for quick and simple
implementation through
step by step menu selections, access to all collected data though
standard inquiries
reports and SQL structure. and the exporting of collected data to other
application or
services.
