"This product introduction strengthens SimplexGrinnell's ability to use the latest time and data-collection technology to deliver cost-effective, highly flexible workforce management solutions."
Data Collection Integration and Terminal-Level Convenience Cambridge Clock 2000 Series data collection terminals can be fully and seamlessly integrated with the Microsoft Windows*-based workforce management systems available from SimplexGrinnell, including the popular Simplex WinSTAR* Time and Attendance System and Simplex eForce*, the next generation integrated software for enterprise-wide applications.
The new Cambridge Clock terminals support a variety of alternative input devices, including bar code wands, laser scanners, proximity readers and external bar code readers.

The advanced Cambridge Clock terminals also let businesses track employee time on specific jobs, as well as department transfers. Employees simply touch a function key and select the new job or department transfer number. Additional data, such as special pay types (vacation, sick time, etc.) and monetary transactions (tips, meals, etc.) can also be captured at the terminal level.
The ability to retrieve data and make adjustments right at the terminal is an important feature of the Cambridge Clock. Employees can review information such as their last punch, accumulated hours, or work schedules. They can even receive employee-specific supervisor messages at the terminal. For added convenience, supervisors can review stored punches, add missing punches, bypass restrictions, and credit sick time and other special pay.
