A Longford company is seeking to change the way small businesses manage their staff through the use of biometric and cloud technologies.
Elephant Smart Business seeks to replace paper-based systems such as sign-in sheets, sick pay, annual leave, public holiday entitlements and payroll preparation.
Employee attendance is monitored by a touch screen terminal on which employees sign in and out of work, record breaks and leave for work-related business. The system alerts management by text or e-mail if members of the team are not available to work, absent or late, allowing them to make alternative arrangements.
The software – five years in development – also aids the HR and accounts function by creating reports on annual leave, appraisals, absences, payroll, NERA (National Employment Rights Authority) reports, rosters and budgets.
Launching the product, Linda O’Reilly, founder and financial director of Elephant Smart Business, said: "The software really is like having a full time HR manager for your company. We have changed the way SMEs manage staff through an affordable product with functionality exceeding that of systems costing multiples that of Elephant Smart Business. The format is simple and training can be completed in three hours."
Roy Davis, owner of SuperValu Longford, has been using the software, the benefits of the system are many. "The accuracy and control the Elephant Smart Business system have given me are invaluable. Not only does it take hours off my schedule each week in terms of reporting and rotas etc, it creates a new work environment amongst staff and eliminates the obtrusive work that as a manager… Management time is better utilised, and as we are able to use the software to budget effectively, we can keep our salary percentage down. You really would have to hire a person full time to do the work that this system does."
