Biometric solution comes to UK truckers

Wednesday, February 17, 2010

North East Time Recorders, in a partnership with fellow UK-based time and attendance tracker Computime Systems, has developed and delivered a new biometric time and attendance tracking solution designed for use by trucking companies to better track drivers’ bonus, overtime and holiday hours, according to a Transport News article.

Beyond assisting with the maintenance of payroll and other human resources’ duties, the system is also proving to be valuable in identifying when vehicles are due for maintenance. Officials from North East Time Recorders are touting the system as being user-friendly, easy to install and PC compatible while further citing trial runs with the technology when touting the money saving benefits their system creates.
