Thursday, 07 January 2010 00:00

Two of the major names in the European time and attendance market have confirmed a long term partnership agreement to supply businesses in the UK.

Following an extensive review of available time and attendance solutions and a meticulous tender process, Stanley Security Solutions has finalised the new deal with leading time and attendance solutions provider, Isgus, reinforcing its already prominent reputation in the industry.

Responding to some radical changes in the traditional UK workplace environment in recent years, Stanley has continued to invest heavily in the range of products and services it can offer to customers. This latest Isgus partnership further strengthens the range of solutions Stanley can provide which will benefit all existing and new customers.

Renowned for its famous Blick Time Systems brand for the past 80 years, Stanley’s state of the art time recording software provides the ability to capture essential data for better HR management reports.  This information is then used by commercial, industrial and public sector businesses to drive productivity improvements through job costing, workforce scheduling, resource management, streamlined payroll processes and basic time keeping.

With its own proven pedigree, German company, Isgus has itself been established in the time recording market for over 120 years.  A designer, manufacturer and supplier of hardware and software, Isgus already have an outstanding reputation throughout Europe and have been involved in thousands of successful HR installations worldwide.

Isgus augments Stanley’s existing range with the very latest generation of time and attendance solutions, from simple clocking machines and time recorders up to sophisticated biometric readers and fully integrated computerised systems, at the heart of which is its popular ZEUS time and attendance software module.  ZEUS Time Management delivers consistent, intuitive and dependable solutions through technologies such as intranet, internet and email.  Its extensive functionality and modular structure enables it to be simply adapted and aligned with the changing requirements of personnel management across any business sector.

Stanley will capitalise on its longstanding relationships and nationwide coverage across the full range of target markets to promote and support this Isgus range amongst human resource and finance professionals in businesses of all sizes.

Bruce Ginnever, COO at Stanley UK commented: “We are delighted to be going into the new decade with a brand new time and attendance partner and especially one with the global pedigree of Isgus.

“Over the past few months we have taken our time to extensively research the market and review our supplier partnerships.  We are confident that Isgus offers the most technologically advanced range of products to suit our existing and prospective time and attendance customers. Their product quality and reliability was a key consideration when entering in to this partnership”

As part of its total solutions package, Stanley will continue to offer flexible, in-house finance programmes on all products, allowing customers to benefit from the latest Isgus technology and unique equipment warranty but without the associated risks of ownership.

Stanley’s Bruce Ginnever continued: “In a highly competitive market, customers need to know they can rely on proven technology from an established supplier. The strength of the Isgus product range combined with Stanley’s longstanding reputation for supportive maintenance, and its affordable source of funding, will provide absolute peace of mind to our customers.”

Stefan Beetz, Isgus CEO added: “We are delighted to be partnering with Stanley and believe that the combined strength of our businesses and brands will give us significant advantage in the UK time and attendance market.”

Stanley has also reassured customers with existing time and attendance systems, including Astrow, that it will continue to fully support all products in terms of ongoing service and maintenance.  However, enhanced options involving Isgus systems will be offered to customers as upgrades are required.
