Advantages of Online Attendance Systems Over Conventional Attendance Systems
1. Allows remote working strategies
The first advantage of the online attendance system is that it allows companies to implement flexible work systems such as remote work or Work From Home. Unlike manual attendance systems that have a physical form and need to be installed in office buildings, this online attendance system can be accessed from employees’ laptops and smartphones. That way, recording attendance lists can still be done even if employees work from home.
For employees who work mobile such as the sales team, this attendance system also makes it easier for them because it can be used to conduct attendance or record attendance online. That way, employees can immediately go to the client’s location without having to come to the office just to do a review.
In addition, keep in mind that when companies implement a remote working system, they will benefit in the form of convenience when recruiting employees. Since employees can work from anywhere, regional boundaries are no longer a problem. Companies can still hire quality employees even if they are in a different region from your company.
2. Much more cost-effective
Online attendance is also much more economical than manual attendance systems. Imagine if a company has several branches spread across various regions in Indonesia, then when using a manual attendance system, the company needs to install these devices in each branch. Unlike the case with the online attendance system where one application can be installed directly on each employee’s laptop or smartphone. That way, you can save a lot more on expenses. In addition, the online attendance system is also a savings measure because the data presented is very accurate so as to minimize payroll errors.
3. Accurate real time data tracking
In the online attendance system, modern technology has been embedded that allows the system to track and store attendance data in real-time or real time during the process or event occurs. Through this technology, companies can monitor attendance time, total working hours, GPS location, and employee productivity in real time. The system can also automatically display the data of employees who arrive late. When compared to a paper-based manual system, an online attendance system is much more effective and efficient to present the data needed by the company or HRD team.
4. Reporting via workflow management becomes unnecessary
The advantage of online attendance over manual systems is that they do not report with workflow management. As we mentioned earlier, the online attendance system will present various data in real time. With this functionality, the company or HRD will have clear visibility of employee attendance lists, attendance regularization requests (shifting), leave requests, overtime requests, etc. With just a few clicks, all requests can be monitored and can be processed immediately.
