Original Press Release:
Kaba Benzing AutoTime Time & Attendance/Labor Reporting Software Supports Mobile Data Collection Clients
Uses XML to Describe Screen Layouts and Prompting Requirements for Symbol PPT 2800 and HP/Compaq iPaq 3760
MIAMI LAKES, FLA. - July 10, 2003 - Kaba Benzing, a subsidiary of $690 million Kaba Holding AG and worldwide leader in time and labor management systems, today announced that its AutoTime time and attendance/labor reporting software supports handheld devices running the PocketPC 2002 platform, such as the Symbol PPT 2800 and HP/Compaq iPaq 3760, to provide enhanced mobile data collection for customers with employees who travel or require mobile devices in their work.
Support for the new mobile data collection client builds upon the success of the Kaba Benzing XML collection client, which is used to describe screen layouts and prompting requirements. As with all Kaba Benzing XML clients, it provides both an online and offline mode plus automatically synchronizes offline data.
"While employees are traveling close to their home bases, they have real time wireless (IEEE 802.11b) connection to their AutoTime system," explains Michael Register, Kaba-Benzing vice president of business development and marketing. "When they travel out of range, the handheld terminal continues to collect their data. Upon returning to their home base, the units will automatically connect and synchronize all the data collected in offline mode. As a result, companies can receive more timely and accurate data from their employees who are continually out of the office or in a work environment that requires a mobile device."
