Welcome to the Online Time Clock MTS Blog
Welcome to the Online Time Clock MTS weblog. This is where we'll keep you updated on the progress of the development of Online Time Clock MTS and where you can find out when the free BETA program will commence. Once that's happened it's where we'll let you know about new features, fixed bugs and tips on using the system.
What is Online Time Clock MTS?
Online Time Clock MTS is the online version of the successful Time Clock MTS which is used by more than 6,000 companies around the world. What has made Time Clock MTS so successful will be brought to the online version. It will be very simple to use to track your employee time and attendance data while being flexible enough to account for complex payroll, overtime and accrual rules. Online Time Clock MTS will use the same very simple to use time clock interface that Time Clock MTS use. This interface can be taught to your employees in just a minute or two and will help to minimize the on-going costs of using Online Time Clock MTS.
Being 100% web-based gives you some unique advantages over the desktop version of Time Clock MTS. Firstly, it can be used from any computer with a web browser, there's nothing you'll need to install or maintain on your computers. Secondly, you can use it from anywhere in the world, so if you have employees who work from home, or perhaps operations in different geographic locations then you can still use Online Time Clock MTS with no difficulties. Finally, being online means that you'll get access to improvements and bug fixes instantly and without you having to do anything.
How Much Will Online Time Clock MTS Cost?
Cost has yet to be finalized, but it will be dependent on how many employees you want to track and how many different locations you want to clock in and out from. Fees will be monthly, with discounts offered if you decide to pay for longer periods up front. Just like Time Clock MTS, though, there will be a free version of Online Time Clock MTS that will provide you with limited but still very useful employee time and attendance tracking.
When will Online Time Clock MTS be Available?
I'm going out on a limb here and going to say that Online Time Clock MTS will be available for free BETA use within 6 weeks. This will be with a fairly limited set of features but you'll still be able to track your employees time and attendance quickly and simply. As the BETA progresses we'll gradually add new features and make bug fixes as required. Once the system is truly useful it will transition to a commercial model. Loyal BETA testers will receive a period of free use during this time before they have to start paying to use Online Time Clock MTS.
Can You Suggest Features for Online Time Clock MTS?
Sure, just go ahead and use the contact us page to send in your suggestions. However, it's planned to largely map the features of the desktop version of Time Clock MTS to the online version. This feature set has been refined over a number of years by listening closely to our customers so you're assured of getting a system that is both useful and extremely easy to use.
What Are You Going to Need to Use Online Time Clock MTS?
A computer with any modern web-browser will be able to access Online Time Clock MTS. Currently we're supporting IE 6+, Safari 3+, Firefox 1.5+, Opera 9+, and Chrome 0.2+. All development is being conducted in IE 7, IE 8, Chrome 4, and Firefox 3.
