Raben Logistics Polska, a company providing the services of contract logistics, LCL transport, maritime transport and air freight. It belongs to the Raben Group, operating in 14 European countries and offering custom-made logistic solutions since the 1990s. Raben Logistics will use 4,500 TIMATE cards.
Raben started implementing the TIMATE system in 2020. Today, the solution is used by employees in nearly forty facilities in Poland. The company decided to use the TIMATE cards for the working time measurement in large warehouses where traditional readers would not be an effective solution.
The solution offered by TIMATE enables recording of the working time of a large number of employees in many locations in Poland without the need to use standard card readers set up at entrances to the company premises, warehouses, offices etc. It also allows to check the actual number of employees within a given area, which is very important information for emergency services when there is a threat of fire. Furthermore, the collaboration with TIMATE is part of Raben’s policy to support start-ups offering interesting solutions. Undoubtedly, the IoT cards and the system of receiver stations along with the software constitute an appealing tool for large and medium companies. By integrating it with other systems operating within the enterprise, one can get measurable benefits in terms of safety and efficiency – says Sławomir Pawlak, CIO in the Raben Group.
Halsang, a Swedish company manufacturing gates, fences and access control devices.
The TIMATE system was implemented at the company’s Polish branch. The solution assists the company in its time and attendance recording, production cost verification and prompt responding to problems that affect production processes. The data provided by TIMATE is the basis for precise calculations of the man-hours for each particular gate. This enables verification of the prices, while customers rest assured they pay only for the actual working time. It is important, because Halsang produces its gates manually and on special orders, so there is no standard price list.
We are increasing our headcount, so we really needed a system that would help us record time and attendance. However, we have been looking for something more than a standard card that employees use to clock in and clock out. What we actually want is the real data on how the company is doing, on how we organize our teamwork and whether we use the working time and resources as best as we can. Such information will provide us with useful clues regarding the enterprise management and the assignment of tasks among employees in such a way that they will not feel overburdened with work or or fed up due to idleness – explains Arkadiusz Jaworski, Vice President at Halsang.
ALAB Laboratoria, a network of 400 diagnostic facilities offering more than 3,000 diagnostic tests: from basic ones through highly specialised tests to examination packages designed for specific diseases, ailments and organs as well as preventive healthcare..
ALAB tested the TIMATE system for employee and process management during the period of more than 6 months. The company observed the operation of its laboratories to identify elements which could be improved in order to increase performance. TIMATE and the cards carried by employees provided the managers with data regarding the organisation of processes.
Following the trial period which ended in October 2021, ALAB decided to have a full implementation of TIMATE. The company uses all available modules.
While analysing the information collected by the system, we quickly noticed what could be improved. One of the examples was the percentage-based presence of people in the rooms, which showed us that our employees needed an additional analyser. We bought it at once, which made the work of diagnosticians quicker and easier. There were similar cases and the process changes we implemented have brought us significant savings – says Ewa Małkowska, CEO of ALAB Laboratoria. – The system that we purchased helps us manage our dispersed organisation by daily and automatically providing data about task performance in laboratories. It also informs the employees about the completion of their daily schedule and reminds them to take a break or finish their work. As a result, people feel more noticed and recognised, knowing that the way they work can bring them actual benefits.
