Compact smart cards do not have to be removed from a wallet to clock in

Agricultural jobs in Somerset have shot up by almost 60 per cent in three years, according to a county council report. Meanwhile, overall employment in the county fell from 252,600 to 240,300 in the same three-year-period. There were 10,100 people employed in the agriculture sector in March 2011 compared with 6,400 in March 2008, an increase of 57.8%. In 2011 agricultural engineering exports, like tractors and other machinery, from Somerset went up by nearly a fifth.

Farming warehouses and offices can benefit from a complete Smart Card Time and Attendance System from Time and Attendance South West. Software includes all the features to manage time and attendance recording from 50 people up to thousands. Smart cards as compact as credit cards use proximity reading technology, where the badge does not have to be removed from a wallet or purse. The badge will read through your wallet or purse in ¼ second – this is up to 15 times faster than swipe systems and more reliable.
