Easy to Use
Like all other Aquarius Soft products, we spent much time in making sure that the software is very
easy to learn and use by both the administrator and your staff.
Single or multiple distributed punch stations
You can setup BePunctual solution on one single computer or on multiple computers in your network.
For single computer setup, you would install the Server software and the Group Punch Station
software in the same computer.
For multiple distributed computers setup, you would install the Server software on one computer and
install the punch software on other networked computers.
Instantly Check Who's Not In/In/Out Today
Every staff can check who's not in, who's in and who's out today on the punch station software. This
feature can be disabled for any punch station if needed.
Prevent Buddy Punching
One main problem of paper systems is that of buddy punch, i.e. staff asking another person to
punch in/out for him. With BePunctual, you can install a fingerprint scanner to verify your staff
during punch in/out. A webcam can also be installed to capture a photo of the staff when the staff is
punching in/out. The administrator can then perform random checks at the Server software to see if
the photo matches the staff.
Build in Payroll Functions
BePunctual comes integrated with simple yet comprehensive staff payroll functions. For small
companies, they may not need separate payroll software to generate staff pay reports.
Build in Leave Records
Approved staff leave (paid and no pay leave) can be recorded in BePunctual. BePunctual reports will
take into account of staff leave.
When a staff does not report for work today because his is on leave, the system will also reflect that
on the Who's In/Out view so that others will know why the staff is not in.
If you are currently using a paper leave system, you can use BePunctual to record your staff
approved leave.
Integrated Visitor Management System
With it's built in visitor management system, you can pre-register your visitors, check their sign
in/out status and set visitor alerts.
