In today’s fast-paced operational environment, efficiency is everything. Yet, many businesses still grapple with manual processes that create unnecessary work, introduce errors, and—most critically—leave gaps in safety protocols. At Time & People, we’re dedicated to solving these challenges by building smart integrations that connect your essential systems.
We recently partnered with a client facing a typical yet critical issue. They were diligently using MRI OnLocation Visitor and Contractor Management software for everyone entering their sites. This was excellent for visitors and contractors, ensuring compliance and accurate real-time data for evacuations. However, their employees were an overlooked piece of the puzzle.
The Dual Problem:
- Missing Employee Safety Data: Employees were not signing in via OnLocation. This meant that in the event of an emergency, the evacuation reports were incomplete, listing visitors and contractors, but lacking crucial information on who, among their own staff, was actually on-site. This is a significant safety exposure.
- Manual Time-Wasting: Employees continued to sign into Ready Workforce to submit their timesheets manually. This created double data entry, consumed valuable administrative time, and was prone to human error, particularly when it came to accurately recording start and finish times for payroll.
Our client needed a solution that would integrate their employees into their digital sign-in system without creating additional manual burdens. This is where Time & People stepped in.
The Elegant Solution: Two Birds, One Integration
At Time & People, our expertise lies in understanding these operational disconnects and building the bridges between systems. We designed and implemented a custom integration that seamlessly connects MRI OnLocation with Ready Workforce.
Here’s how we solved both problems with a single, elegant solution:
- Unified Evacuation Reporting: Now, when an employee signs into any site via OnLocation, their presence is immediately recorded. This means the evacuation report is complete and accurate, encompassing all individuals on-site – visitors, contractors, and employees. Peace of mind for safety managers, instantly.
- Automated Time & Attendance: The integration automatically captures the employee’s sign-in and sign-out times from OnLocation and flows this data directly into Ready Workforce timesheets. The manual entry is eliminated, ensuring accuracy for payroll processing and freeing up administrative staff to focus on higher-value tasks.
This integration is a prime example of how connecting disparate systems can not only eliminate manual work but also significantly enhance workplace safety and operational efficiency. If your business is struggling with similar disconnects, reach out to Time & People. We specialize in building the intelligent pathways that make your technology work harder for you.
