A Time Clock MTS User Review

by | Aug 11, 2010 | News, User Testimonials

Donald Hill, a business consultant from Heartland Information Research in Milwaukee, Wisconsin was kind enough to write some great comments about Time Clock MTS. He was also kind enough to allow me to reproduce those comments here. You can see them below.

After comparing your Timeclockmts employee time keeping solution with many other options, it was a no-brainer to go with your solution for my food service business client with 30 to 35 employees.

 

No server or XP professional required, free unlimited 30 day trial, secure full-featured administrator area, simple clock in and out window, easy to add and delete employees, and a leading biometric device vendor already pre-selected to work with the software.

 

After installing, the experience only got better. Discovered it can automatically record a webcam photo of the person clocking in and out for verification, easily allows the data file to be shared from either a desktop PC or a Network Attached Storage (NAS), and has all the reports needed to run payroll.

 

Install was fast and employees really did not need any training because of the simple user interface. Point, click, done. The ability to have multiple administrator licenses is a plus to allow more than one manager to access and update employee wage rates, departments, and hours.

 

As a ‘recovering’ electrical engineer and former software programmer, appreciate seeing good code. Now that I am in the (non-tech) business development consulting field, I also appreciate being able to find a solid and simple to use program for the small-business multi-user environment. Your online ordering calculator also takes the guesswork out of pricing which helped a lot.

 

Great job – I suspect this software will only get better in the future

Online Time Clock MTS BETA Test Period Opens

by | May 28, 2010 | News

I’m happy to announce that Online Time Clock MTS is now available for testing during a completely free BETA test period. This will allow you to use Online Time Clock MTS completely free of charge while we develop and test it prior to it going completely commercial in a few months. We’ve tried to bring the same user friendly interface and features that you, the Time Clock MTS user have helped us develop over the years to the online version of Time Clock MTS.

Time Clock MTS and Online Time Clock MTS are not compatible at the moment, but the plan is that we’ll develop a data export tool to allow you to send your Time Clock MTS data to the online version. Once that happens you’ll be able to transition to Online Time Clock MTS and use that instead of Time Clock MTS (you won’t be able to use both at the same time with the same data).

If you’re interested in learning more about the new online application then head on over and read about Online Time Clock MTS or just dive straight in and sign up for a free online time clock account and start using it.

Time Clock Reviews

We’re lucky enough to have had Time Clock MTS reviewed a few times by independent reviewers on various sites around the internet. I wouldn’t say that any of these reviews has been fully comprehensive (it’s hard to test out the full capabilities of Time Clock MTS in a short period) but these time clock reviews are useful if you’re considering the purchase of a time clock program. Here’s a list of the time clock reviews including Time Clock MTS that we’re aware of.

If you’re aware of any more reviews of Time Clock MTS about the place please let me know. If you want to know what real world users have got to say about Time Clock MTS you could take a look at our user reviews page or take a look at a recent blog entry with a user talking about his real world use of Time Clock MTS in a machine shop.

Version 2.5.8 Released

by | Apr 23, 2010 | New Releases, News

A new version of Time Clock MTS was released a couple of days ago that included a bug fix, some debugging for a potentially new bug, and an interesting new feature. Details of each are below.

  • A fix has been added for sick time and vacation accruals where a very short accrual period was selected (such as accruing 1 hour of leave for every 1 hour of work). The bug will not have affected many users.
  • Some detailed debugging code has been added to track the shift clock in time restriction. One user reported that his staff couldn’t clock in until 1 minute before shift start despite the limit being set to 6 minutes. Not sure what I’m talking about? Go take a look at the entry about stopping employees clocking in too early.
  • A new setting has been added to the Tools->Options->Job Tracking page. The ‘allow employees to create jobs’ setting will allow employees to create a new job when they enter a job code into Time Clock MTS that doesn’t already exist. If you’re not sure what the job tracking features of Time Clock MTS include try take a look at the job tracking time clock page.

Online Time Clock MTS

You’ve probably noticed that things have been a little quiet around here lately, that’s because I’ve been working hard on the new online version of Time Clock MTS. I’m happy to say that the website for this new online time clock system has been launched today and I’m hoping that Online Time Clock MTS will be released for free BETA testing within 6 weeks. Please go take a look at the Online Time Clock MTS website for more information.

What does this mean for you as a Time Clock MTS user? Well, probably nothing. Development of the desktop version of Time Clock MTS is continuing with version 3 being worked on and a number of interesting user suggested features being added. I am still hopeful of incorporating a new and much better reporting system into version 3. Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.
