We recently purchased the Pyramid TTProx Proximity Time Clock because we thought it would work with our existing proximity cards. Unfortunately, it won't work with other proximity cards so we ended up sending that unit back and going back to the drawing board.
What we were looking for was the simplest solution for both us and our employees; so, a biometric system seemed like the next best choice.
After getting this time clock up and running, these are the things we like about it:
From an employee perspective, it is extremely simple to use. Just place your fingerprint on the reader and it beeps. That's about it.
This unit is networked, and it's easy to pull the data directly from the time clock into Quick Books.
Overall, this is accurate and fast.
Unfortunately, getting the time clock up and running is an exercise in frustration. There are lots of little details that have to be right, like needing employee IDs to be in the 9000 range; but, the software automatically assigns numbers in a different range. On top of that, the process of creating an administrative user is also confusing and poorly documented.
We were able to get through the setup in a couple of hours without calling support; but, it wasn't fun.
Enrolling the first user was also a pain since it didn't really follow the instructions; but, we did figure it out and now it's pretty simple (once you know how to do it).
This is the process we go through to enter users:
1) Press F4
2) Enter the admin code
3) Press enter
4) Enter the admin code again
5) Press F4
6) Enter the user code
7) Press enter
8) Let the user scan their finger twice
As you can see, the admin code is needed to add users; but, that's also the code that lets you override punches from the time clock. I wish there were a way to use the admin fingerprint instead of having to type the code multiple times. I'm probably just paranoid. :)
Anyway, I would recommend this product since it does work well once it's configured. Just keep in mind that the initial configuration will take some pretty loose interpretation of the included instructions.
