Page Automation offers unrivalled document delivery and workforce management solutions at the IFSEC SA Exhibition

Page Automation exhibited at the IFSEC SA Exhibition which took place from 13 to 15 May 2014. This show is exclusively dedicated to the very latest developments in security, safety, fire and protection. The show generated a lot of interest in the SmartSlip suite of products as it attracts those in the trade who consider issues of business and personal security, protection and safety to be of paramount importance. Amongst the products exhibited was SmartSlip document delivery solution, Smarttime for time and attendance and SmartGuard for guard patrol and workforce management.

Smarttime offers world-class time and attendance capabilities that enable businesses to streamline payroll preparation, simplify employee scheduling, improve wage and hour compliance, and manage absenteeism.

Smarttime’s tracking system is configured according to the company policies offering automated reports and exports of information to payroll. This saves the company time on capturing manual timesheets, spreadsheets, punch timecards and repetitive time and attendance data entry and corrections.

Smartguard is a completely new and powerful way of collecting and managing guard patrols. This is done by tracking the location and patrol times of the guard on patrol using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Mobile (GSM) and Global Positioning (GPS) technologies. Patrol data such as supervisor requests, panic or fire signals are transmitted back to its cloud based infrastructure in real time through GPRS / GSM data transmission. One of its innovative features is the inclusion of a stay-awake button which notifies the supervisor via text message if the guard has not checked in at the required intervals and could have possibly fallen asleep on duty.

The exhibition was well attended by 4 763 security and risk professionals seeking customised solutions to their business risks.

Francois Geyser, Smart Solutions director at Page Automation says that the interest and uptake on these products has been extremely positive, “There is a real need in the market currently for a comprehensive solution that is able to automate the collection and distribution of company information as well as manage your workforce’s productivity. Our solutions provide operational efficiency whilst drastically reducing costs and the amount of time spent on manual labour. Whilst often overlooked, labour management when monitored and managed can have a major impact on your business” he concludes.
