Acroprint® Introduces the New Standard for Time Management

RALEIGH, NC – February 17, 2004 – Acroprint knows that when it comes to business, Every Minute Counts™. To help track these minutes, Acroprint is introducing the new standard for valued-priced time management, ATRx ProxTime®. Businesses can now eliminate the cost to purchase, and time to distribute, collect, edit and manually calculate employee time cards or time sheets — saving valuable time and preventing errors associated with manually preparing payroll.

ATRx ProxTime is a time and attendance system with proximity technology powered by Attendance Rx® software. This technology enables employees to clock in and out at the terminal with the wave of a badge and/or keypad entry. Proximity badges are good for any environment; they're durable and last longer than Magnetic Stripe or Bar Code badges. This versatile solution can be used without the proximity terminal, allowing employees to punch in and out at one specified PC or at their own workstation.

ATRx ProxTime and Attendance Rx software are both the ideal solution for small businesses, providing a reliable method to track and manage both salaried and hourly employees' time. Not only will businesses get accurate time records with ATRx ProxTime and Attendance Rx; they will have the power to analyze information as part of a workforce management program. This real-time solution requires no polling allowing for administrators to quickly view an "In/Out Board" to see who is in the office.

Attendance Rx software offers a wide range of management reports and will accommodate your holiday, overtime, shift and pay-period policies. It can also completely automate the following tasks: employee time and attendance calculations, attendance tracking, interface to third party payroll services, report generation, and multiple terminals.

ATRx ProxTime and Attendance Rx are both easy to use; those with little or no prior computer experience can master it quickly. One starts with a quick start sheet to set up the ATRx ProxTime terminal; then follow a friendly series of menu driven wizards, set up departments, employees, shift/schedules and integration with your existing payroll software. All processes are clearly marked and follow a common operating thread.

These solutions also feature: 12 different shifts/schedules, Company and Individual Employee Messages, Clock IN/OUT from the PC, Submit Employee Time Slip, Require Approval of Timecards, Manage Hourly & Salaried Employees separately, 2 Levels of Daily & Weekly Overtime, 7th Day Overtime, Manage Vacation, Sick, Holidays, FMLA and Automatic Holiday Pay. Twelve reports available include the following: Time Cards, Hours Summary, Who's IN/ OUT, Approaching Overtime. Attendance Rx easily Integrates with QuickBooks® allowing businesses to import your employees to and from QuickBooks and export your timecards to QuickBooks.
