As we kick start 2024, TimeTec has again held its annual year-end town hall meeting at WORQ Subang on January 12th 2023.
This year’s town hall meeting is yet again kickstarted with a speech by Mr. Teh Hon Seng, the Group CEO of TimeTec. In his words, he praised the company's remarkable achievements and announced the goals for the following year. He ended his speech by mentioning that 2024 will still be a ‘Year of Growth’ for TimeTec. With TimeTec growing at a steady pace in 2023, he believes that we can harness this momentum and strive for even further growth in the new year ahead.
During the town hall meeting, all department heads had a session to present their performance review for the year. During the session, each department shared their efforts and fruition throughout the year and also their future vision and expectations for the new year. With further understanding and collaborative efforts from each department, it is without a doubt that 2024 will be a bright one.
Before wrapping up the town hall meeting, TimeTec seized the opportunity to recognize and reward its employees as they play a vital role in the organization. Aside from announcing promoted employees of the year, TimeTec did not forget to proudly announce the title of ‘Employee of the Year’ to its golden employee. Safe to say that this special employee was rewarded handsomely with a free next-gen, state-of-the-art smartphone and a personal laptop for her efforts and work at TimeTec.
TimeTec Sports Day: Bowling Championship
Other than the annual town hall meeting, TimeTec has also organized a sports day event to celebrate the start of the new year with a bang. As you may have guessed, TimeTec has chosen bowling for the Sports Day event this year.
Safe to say that this event was full of strikes, spares, gutters and mostly laughter as TimeTec employees fought strongly for the title of Bowling King or Queen. After an intense battle royale, here are our winners for the Sports Day: Bowling Championship.
Through this event, we have again been reminded of the importance of teamwork and covering for each other.
As these two engaging and meaningful events conclude, it also implies the start of a brand new year ahead. We are confident that 2024 will be a prosperous year and the possibilities are limitless if we work together and move forward as one.
Santan is the world's first restaurant brand by an airline, AirAsia. It began serving AirAsia’s inflight meals in 2015 and opened its very first restaurant in 2019. Santan has gained recognition for its signature dish, ‘Pak Nasser’s Nasi Lemak,’ acclaimed as the ‘best Nasi Lemak in town.’ Presently, Santan is the official inflight caterer for AirAsia, offering a range of inflight meals, from Western-Asian fusion dishes to specially brewed coffee.
As the official AirAsia inflight caterer, Santan wanted a way to enhance their business. After some self-reflection, they found out they could have done more in their HR department.
Here’s what they were lacking in the HR department In short, Santan was still practising manual tasks when it came to the HR department.
Firstly, they were still using the traditional time punch cards for their company. As they are physical cards, attendance had to be collected monthly and sorted manually which was time-consuming for both the HR department and their employees.
Santan Restaurant did not have real-time data, rendering it hard to track staff attendance and arrange schedules or shifts for their employees. With their current HR system, managers are unable to check the attendance data which may cause labour shortages due to incorrect shift allocation.
Finally, without real-time data, employee overtime (OT) hours were hard to track. On top of that, employees' salaries or payrolls were required to be keyed in manually. This made paying employees monthly salaries inefficient and prone to mistakes. So how did TimeTec Attendance resolve this issue? With the determination to have a better internal structure, Santan Restaurant decided to implement TimeTec’s Face ID 5 in all of its branches.
This helped Santan Restaurant achieve data centralization making data easier to collect and read. In other words, all HR data including attendance, leaves or even payroll information are secured in one location. This benefits the direct managers when it comes to scheduling employee shifts as everything could be done from one location.
With the implementation of TimeTec’s Face ID 5, Santan Restaurant’s employees are also provided with more options for clock-in such as accurate facial recognition and fingerprint clock-in.
By implementing TimeTec Attendance, Santan has the power to arrange schedules easily for all branches. This is made possible as managers were also able to keep track of employee’s multiple shifts through the system. On top of that, they can easily keep track of and approve OT hours for their retail industry, making the process an easy one.
With all other TimeTec Modules implemented, Santan Restaurant also decided to implement TimeTec Payroll. This can seamlessly import and export data from other TimeTec modules into the payroll system, in turn churning out salaries to the employees without mistakes efficiently.
So are you also running a restaurant and want to make it big someday? Well, before expanding your business with more people, it’s crucial to build a strong HR structure first. What are you waiting for? Drop us an email or click on the links below to get in contact with us!
As land became scarce in countries, people came up with the solution to make buildings slimmer and taller. Since buildings are mainly being built upward, a solution to access all the floors in skyscrapers is elevators or lifts.
A master in building these complex mechanisms to get us to higher grounds is Nippon Lift Elevators. With their customized solutions to meet customer’s needs, they have made their mark and installed elevators in more than 10 countries and 100 customers globally.
Even with Nippon Elevator’s success in their business venture, they noticed that they lacked one major component to elevate their business to even further higher grounds. That component, as you may have guessed, is their HR department.
Here are the problems faced by Nippon Elevator In a nutshell, Nippon Elevators were mostly only doing manual work when it came to HR tasks.
They used a traditional method of manually reporting to work and scheduling their leave through tedious Excel record tracking.
Technicians who are required to work on sites have to report their attendance through open messaging applications. As no real-time data was available to the HR department, they faced challenges when it came to tracking employees' locations.
Another problem that they had was difficulties in tracking the staff attendance and schedule arrangements. Managers found out that they were losing manpower resources due to the inability to track employees' clocking records accurately.
Calculating employees’ monthly salary was also a tedious task for Nippon Elevator’s HR department. This was because employees who have worked overtime (OT) were hard to keep track making the OT payout hard to track. Besides that, payroll was required to be manually keyed to software making them inconsistent and vulnerable to mistakes.
Employees working under Nippon Elevator also had difficulties when it came to leave applications as it was a tedious process. Employees were required to submit their leaves through manual paper application making the application flow slow and ineffective.
Here’s how implementing TimeTec’s Ecosystem helped Nippon Elevators
Nippon Elevator has introduced TC10 in its HQ, which in turn helped them achieve true data centralization. This means that all HR data including attendance, leaves or even payroll information are secured in one location. Additionally, scheduling for employee shifts became easy and centralized as everything could be done from one location.
Other than that, TimeTec TC10 has provided more options for Nippon Elevator’s employees to clock in, which includes accurate facial recognition, fingerprint or through the TimeTec HR super app.
Real-time data is something that is accessible for Nippon Elevators for all of their branches. TimeTec allows Nippon Elevators to customize employees’ working shifts enabling them to work morning, night and standby shifts, which can be set in TimeTec simultaneously.
OT hours are also now trackable using TimeTec’s system as OT hours can be easily shown, tracked and approved. Managers are now able to track employees. With the use of TimeTec, managers can track employee’s presence at each work site location and able to delegate or allocate proper resources to each working site.
Another quality of life change that Nippon Elevators has received while integrating TimeTec Leave is that its leave applications are much more straightforward. The process is now a cakewalk as employees can apply for leaves by just clicking a few buttons at the TimeTec mobile or web app.
On top of that, the TimeTec Leave app can also play a vital role by helping the HR department keep track of employee tenure. It can automatically update each employee’s data to show their entitled leave benefits based on their years of service.
So, are you planning to elevate your business similar to Nippon Elevators? Are you also having to do your HR tasks manually? Don’t hesitate to give us a call! We can’t wait to help you solve your problem.
TMI Group of Companies kick-started its journey as TMI Shipping (M) in 1998 to offer top-notch international logistics services to end users. Having branch offices around Asia in Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Shanghai & Shenzhen, and all other significant international seaports, TMI specialises in ocean freight and offers sustainable logistics services. Since its establishment, TMI has established a reputation as one of Malaysia's most trustworthy forwarders. It has a skilled and experienced team in its local area, a global network of affiliate agents, and a high standard of service.
Even with the TMI Group of Companies being a huge success with a long history, they discovered they could recreate their internal HR structure to make their employees more manageable.
Here is the current situation faced by the TMI Group of Companies
In short, TMI was using manual ways when it came to managing their employees. Specifically, they were still using physical punch cards to record their staff attendance. This in turn means data can only be obtained once per month as the HR department is forced to collect and record these punch cards manually.
With no real-time data available for TMI, they have difficulties keeping track of staff attendance daily. With their managers unable to view the attendance data, it affected their ability to deal with unexpected events. For example, if an employee were to apply for any emergency leave, re-arranging shifts and schedules for employees was a challenge faced by TMI.
Another problem faced by TMI was their leaves and claim system was still done only through manual paper application. This was undoubtedly a tedious and time-consuming process every employee had to go through which discouraged them from exercising their employee’s right.
TMI also had trouble tracking their employee’s Overtime (OT) hours for the payout. As employees did not have any method of recording or calculating their OT hours, TMI had to take their employee’s word for it when it came to OT matters.
On top of that, TMI had to manually key these data into the payroll system monthly before releasing them to their employees, making them prone to human error or technical mistakes.
Here’s how TMI resolve this problem with TimeTec’s HR ecosystem With the implementation of TimeTec Attendance, they now have the option to clock in using the mobile app. Gone were the days when TMI had to clock in with physical punch cards, which were unreliable and inefficient. With the new technology, TMI has also obtained the power of data centralisation. This means that all their data are now secured and centralised in one location.
Additionally, with TimeTec Attendance, employees’ shifts and schedules can be easily identified and customised giving them the upper hand when it comes to dealing with unforeseen circumstances. Besides that, as TMI’s logistic industry has flexible schedules, TimeTec Attendance was able to meet these requirements, providing a variety of options to customise their schedule to their heart's content.
Logistic drivers that are always on OT also had a quality of life improvement with the use of TimeTec Attendance. They were finally able to accurately clock in their working hours based on their current situation. Combined with real-time data provided by TimeTec, their managers can check and authorise their OT working hours.
Aside from TimeTec Attendance, TMI also integrated TimeTec Leave and Claims into their business infrastructure. Safe to say gone were the days they had to manually submit physical application forms as everything can be easily done through the mobile or web app which streamlines the application process.
Other than the three modules mentioned, TMI also introduced TimeTec Payroll to their company. This was a huge advantage for TMI as the attendance, leave and claims data can be interconnected and linked to the payroll module directly making the data transfer seamless and automatic without the need to manually export or import any sophisticated HR data.
So, are you also trying to kick-start your business? Is your company perhaps something related to a logistics company? If that’s the case, why not build your business foundation right by implementing TimeTec’s HR Ecosystem? In our opinion, a solid foundation is crucial to springboard a business to higher grounds. So what are you waiting for? Contact us to learn more about TimeTec’s HR ecosystem.
While TimeTec Attendance supports attendance clocking records from various hardware, including FingerTec, TimeTec, ZKTeco, and Hikvision devices, as well as IoT and mobile clocking, we recognize that companies may employ diverse methods to capture attendance data. To accommodate this, we have introduced an alternative feature that enables users to seamlessly integrate their attendance data into TimeTec Attendance without changing their existing clocking method.
With this new functionality, users without FingerTec or TimeTec devices can effortlessly utilize TimeTec Attendance by importing their attendance data directly. Users have the flexibility to set their database points and schedule the uploading process, automating the entire procedure. The attendance records are then seamlessly processed in TimeTec Attendance, facilitating easy report generation. It's as simple as that!
For step-by-step instructions on utilizing this feature, refer to this link:
Majlis Perbandaran Sepang (MPS) or Sepang Municipal Council is a local council that is tasked under the 1976 Local Government Act 171 with the responsibility of providing services and basic amenities to every Sepang residence.
As a government body, The MPS is also responsible for the Development Plan and Community Service plan. They provide services to the Sepang residents that can range from license applications or renewal, tax payment, compound payment or even filing complaints.
With Majlis Perbandaran Sepang (MPS) rapidly growing alongside the Sepang area, they are looking for a better attendance system that they can utilize for all of their branches and centralise all the data using one single system.
Here were the previous issues that they had: Previously MPS used a normal thumbprint system where data are waiting to be collected from other branches. However, with increasing branches such as HQ at Cyberjaya, Landskap Cyberjaya, COB Cyberjaya, Cawangan Bandar Baru Salak Tinggi, Cawangan Bandar Salak Perdana, Cawangan Putra Perdana and Cawangan Sungai Pelek, manual data collection has become an increasing hassle for MPS.
MPS was also using a PC-based Human Resource Management (HRM) Software that had a lot of limitations. The HR department can only access the HRMS solely through a PC, making the HRMS stationary and lacking accessibility.
The current clock-in system that MPS is using is also limited, dated and unreliable. They only have the option to do daily clocking by using a fingerprint device. On top of that, these fingerprint devices sometimes cannot detect employee thumbprints, causing employees who arrive just in time to be late or even creating a line towards the fingerprint machines.
Another challenge faced by MPS’s HR department is uncertainties for both employees and the HR department. Previously, it was proven a challenge for the HR department to track employees who have gone on outstation business trips as they lack a remote GPS clocking system. On the other hand, Employees were also unaware of their own entitled or remaining leaves. To compensate, HR professionals were required to provide these reports to the employees whenever they requested, making the process redundant and time-consuming.
Here’s how MPS implemented the TimeTec HR solution to resolve the issue: With TimeTec HR, MPS obtained data centralization as they were able to gather all the Employee’s data from all the branches by referring to a single system. Employee leaves regardless of branches were also updated in real-time and accurately. This was made possible by TimeTec’s Cloud Storage, which updates and stores employees’ attendance in the cloud in real-time.
MPS also caught up with the trend by implementing TimeTec HR’s smartphone clocking system. This increased accessibility and staff can clock in using their device and mobile apps.
Gone were the days when employees had to queue up to clock in through unreliable fingerprint recognition as MPS’s fingerprint clocking method has undergone a complete overhaul. On top of the enhanced fingerprint recognition, they have also implemented facial recognition for employees to clock in. Safe to say that employees can clock in easily as facial recognition verifies employees within seconds.
Uncertainties are also eliminated with TimeTec HR as employees can log in to TimeTec Attendance to monitor their attendance and leave without ever bothering the HR department. With the introduction of the TimeTec HR Super app, employees who often have business travel outstations can use GPS clock-in to let the HR department know that they are working outside of office grounds.
So, are you also having trouble with your current clocking system? Do you feel like your current HRMS is in dire need of an upgrade? Well, why not give our HRMS a try and see for yourself? Do let us know if you have any questions as we can’t wait to answer them.

For
many of us who are obsessed with YouTube Shorts or TikTok, we might
have already known or seen videos of Chiropractors cracking the
backbones of patients, making a loud and weirdly satisfying ‘crack’
sound.
To be honest, chiropractic is more than just ‘cracking’
bones per se. It emphasizes more on the diagnosis, management and
treatment of the neuromuscular skeletal system without the use of any
medicines or surgery.
An expert in the chiropractic field is
BeWell Chiropractic. Founded by Dr Michiko, BeWell Chiropractic focuses
on a rare and unique technique, the Gonstead Technique and has been
operating its business strong for more than six years, curing one
patient at a time.
During the years of operation, BeWell Chiropractic has noticed a growing problem in its growing business. It’s employees.
Fortunately for BeWell Chiropractic, they knew who to contact to solve this problem, once and for all.
Managing and strengthening the backbone of BeWell Chiropractic. We
all know that employees are the backbone of a business. When it comes
to BeWell Chiropractic, they certainly have put in the effort to manage
the backbone of their business, their employees.
Here are the issues faced by BeWell Chiropractic previously. While
they are at the right step in automating their employee attendance,
BeWell Chiropractic has outdated fingerprint devices. In detail, they
had only 3 fingerprint devices and these devices are not in any way
connected to the HR software that they are currently using.
On
top of that, every employee’s attendance and leaves are manually
recorded and combined by the HR department whenever they require the
data for reporting purposes. This makes data collection a slow and
time-consuming process.
Besides that, their current HR system or
software does not support smartphone clocking or leave applications,
which causes staff to rely on manual methods whenever trying to clock in
or apply for leave. Without accessibility, staff are required to log in
to PCs to check any HR-related matters, making it a taxing and
time-consuming process.
In other words, BeWell Chiropractic
HR-related task mostly requires manual work and staff are generally
uninformed about their remaining leaves or payroll.
Here’s how TimeTec HR helped BeWell Chiropractic resolve these problems
TimeTec has helped BeWell Chiropractic in enhancing its fingerprint device. BeWell Chiropractic now has TA500
in all of its branches, which are connected to the cloud, providing
data centralization. This means that their HR department can gain
real-time data from all of their branches, making data updated and
easily accessible whenever and wherever.
With the introduction of the TimeTec HR
app, employee self-service is available in BeWell Chiropractic. In
other words, employees can do everything by themselves without the help
of the HR department. Staff can now easily apply for leaves and claims
without any use of physical documentation. On top of that, they can even
check their monthly payslip in the TimeTec HR smartphone or web app.
Safe
to say with BeWell Chiropractic implementing the TimeTec HR solution,
they have gained access to a one-stop software to serve all of their HR
needs such as attendance, leaves, claims and even payroll solutions.
