National Time Systems of Miami, FL,
and NOVAtime 3000 Score a Touchdown
at Super
Bowl XLI
Through the use of NOVAtime 3000, an
innovative Time & Attendance/Workforce
Management system, Boston Culinary Group fed
over 75,000 game day attendees with ease.
Monterey Park, Calif. (PRWEB)
June 14, 2007 -- When Boston Culinary Group was
handed the daunting challenge of employing a
support staff of over 3,000 to service the Super
Bowl XLI food fest, they knew they had to
upgrade their Time and Attendance system. Kevin
Hookway, who was in charge of the project, was
faced with two criteria: first, to select the
best solution to fit the workforce management
needs of Boston Culinary Group, and second and
just as importantly, to live up to their
commitment of getting the job completed within
the promised timeframe.
Mr. Hookway stated, "We were in need of a
solution that operates as efficiently as we do
when we provide quality food and excellent
service with timely delivery. We needed a system
that would provide up-to-date information with
powerful reporting capabilities that could be
easily integrated into our existing systems. On
top of that, it must be installed to its
perfection by the due date, and we didn't have a
lot of time!" They also wanted a guarantee that,
not only were all the actual employees clocked
in, but they were physically on the job and
ready to feed and cater to the thousands of
eager fans at the Food Courts, Stanley's and
Patrons Chairman's Clubroom, and Johnny Walker's
Buffet & Lounge. In their search to accomplish
these tasks, they selected NOVAtime 3000
Enterprise Edition workforce management system,
installed and serviced by National Time Systems
with offices in Miami.
"NOVAtime 3000 has the features we needed and is
very easy to use. Even with our special
customization and integration requirements, I
had complete confidence in National Time
Systems' statement that NOVAtime would work 24/7
to make sure they meet their deadlines, and they
came through with flying colors," said Mr.
Hookway.
When Boston Culinary Group made the decision
to upgrade their Time and Attendance system,
they were looking for several things; first
among them, a product that could meet all of
their Time and Attendance / Workforce Management
needs. Another key requirement: "it must have
the ability to prevent "buddy punching," where
an employee clocks in for a coworker. This
prevents fraud and insures the right people are
in the right place at the right time. At Boston
Culinary Group, their goal is to focus on their
business -- delivering quality food timely to
the Super Bowl XLI attendees and press groups,
not worrying about tracking the whereabouts of
employees.

Employee Self-Service Kiosks
Miami, FL. - Studies
show that Human Resources departments devote 40 to 60 percent
of their time to administrative tasks that could be better performed
by employees themselves [source: Business Wire magazine - April,
1996].
In
addition, studies also demonstrate that allowing employees
access
to review their own time and attendance information improves labor
efficiency and trust in their employers.
The
high level of integration provided by
NOVAtime
3000 Enterprise Edition used
in conjunction with NOVAtimeAnywhere Employee Web Services, can
effectively address these issues by
allowing the implementation
of Employee
Self-Service Kiosks, where employees can review their own time
and attendance information such as assigned work schedules, attendance
history, accrued/used benefit hours, and much more.
Employee
Self-Service Kiosks feature a small footprint to facilitate non-obstructive
placement in common areas such as employee lunch rooms or staff
cafeterias, as well as a convenient touch screen for employee
ease of use.
Additionally, Employee Self-Service Kiosks can be configured for
use as standard time clocks to record In and OUT punches, as well
as job or department transfers. They can also be used by Supervisors
to access Supervisor
Web Services to schedule employees, review/modify employee attendance,
enter benefit hours for employees (Vacation, Sick Leave, etc.)
and other supervisor functions.
Designed for companies with the most demanding requirements, NOVAtime
3000 is a full scale workforce solution to manage a large number
of employees spread across multiple locations
- a Supervisor schedules his assigned employees from an office
in Washington, employees punch at a time clock in Miami, a Manager
reviews and authorizes the worked hours from an office in Los
Angeles, the human resources clerk processes the payroll from
Chicago, all from a centralized payroll database at their New
York headquarters, where upper management analyze the job costing
and labor tracking information in
real time to make timely
informed decisions for budget and planning - the result is an
unprecedented level of integration, which in turn provides tremendous
cost savings.

NOVAtime
3000 Enterprise Edition and how Employee Self-Service Kiosks
can benefit your organization, please

release Spring 2003
Monterey, CA. - NOVAtime
Technology, Inc.
(www.novatime.com)
has recently introduced its new flagship product: NOVAtime 3000
Enterprise Edition, which is currently in its last phases of development
and scheduled for release Spring '03.
NOVAtime
3000 Enterprise takes advantage of SQL

Microsoft SQL Server 2000 ensures uptime and advanced management
and tuning functionality to automate routine tasks and lower total

of rules or standards to use markup language. Microsoft .NET is
a set of Microsoft software technologies for connecting your world
of information, people, systems, and devices, using the XML standard,
enabling an unprecedented level of software integration through
the use of XML Web services: units of code that allow programs
written in different programming languages and on different platforms
to communicate and share data through standard Internet protocols.
Microsoft .NET connected softwares deliver what developers need
to create XML Web services and stitch them together. The benefit
to individuals is a seamless/compelling information sharing experience,
from accelerating and improving daily operations to providing
advanced capabilities for deploying next-generation technologies,
.NET can help companies connect diverse operating systems, devices,
businesses, and individual users more broadly than ever before!
