Companies today struggle with the expanding challenges of managing their employees’ time and production, and integrating that and other important tasks into their Human Resources workflow. These challenges have continued to expand for all companies, as it’s becoming easier and more prevalent for business to be conducted at multiple locations.
With an increasingly larger portion of the workforce working from remote locations outside of the main office, businesses are turning to outside companies for help. One of these companies is Mitrefinch, which provides time management software to help track time, attendance, absence, working hours and labor costing through easy-to-use solutions.
The company has built a foundation of software, hardware, swipe cards, biometric scanners and a physical clock mounted on the wall and a combination of them, as well as mobile applications that allow employees to punch in and out remotely. This solution is a type of Human Capital Management system with HR capabilities, stopping just short of what a full Human Resources Information System Suite would provide.
While Mitrefinch is certainly not the only company providing these programs and services today, what separates them from others is their dedication to treating each customer in an individual way.
Every company is different
And that is why it is a very tricky industry. What may work for one company usually does not work for the other.
Laws are not only different in one state versus the next, but they are constantly changing, too. Some businesses have to deal with complicated union pay rules that might be specific to their industry and/or location. That’s why it’s difficult for an off-the-shelf solution created by larger time management companies to effectively solve every businesses’ pain points.
You cannot just take a database and supply it to each company and customer. It has to be customized per industry and business needs.
Despite being difficult, Mitrefinch’s dedication to providing custom-tailored solutions to each of their customers is what helps them stand out in the world of time management systems. In fact, the company takes a consultative approach to each of their customers.
Consultative Approach
Mitrefinch describes themselves as a dream solution, and then they go from there and determine what the problems are that customers are currently having that they need to solve, what they would like to have, their needs and wish list.
The company has been providing time management solutions for companies across the world since the late 1980s. This 30-year history has provided Mitrefinch the ability to craft and fine tune their services as the needs of businesses have evolved over time. There is the 8th version release now with the integration of Business Intelligence and Real Time HR Reports.
Mitrefinch has been around a long time and has seen a lot. They know how to get out in front of things, find out what the challenges will be and then address it to the customers. That is what they try to do during the consultancy phase.
One of the key’s to Mitrefinch’s continued success is the company’s focus on staying up-to-date on emerging trends. Today, that has meant shifting to mobile applications. Some of the innovative mobile offerings include mobile clock-in and clock-out, integration with Google Maps so companies can integrate Geo-fencing for employees in the field, and even biometric fingerprint scanning.

The capability of the company’s biometric readers, swipe cards and proximity cards are particularly strong. This means Mitrefinch doesn’t store fingerprints in their system, which allows people who, for example, wear latex gloves to still get a consistent read on their biometric readers. The company has developed durable, rugged biometric meters designed specifically to be used in harsh environments where employees may have dirty and/or wet hands.
Mitrefinch likes to stay well versed in what the industry is demanding and the needs that people have. Businesses want applicant tracking software, which is something Mitrefinch delivers.
One reason Mitrefinch is confident in their ability to make an impact in the U.S. market (and beyond) is their dedication to and recognition of the fact that each company is different.
Customized Software Solutions
Version 8 software platform is fully customizable with separate modules for Time and Attendance, Absence Management, Mobile Workforce, Employee Scheduling, HR Management and Self Service Tools.
If your company has issues with tracking time, reporting functionalities and getting things turned around quickly, Mitrefinch can come to your rescue.
Miterfinch is looking for businesses with 100 – 10 000 employees in any industry that has the most complex, difficult situations and pay rules, changing labor laws and union contract rules. Those are the ones they like because that is where they set themselves apart from the others that cannot do it.
