Company profile

Business challenge

GRUH Finance corporate HR used to obtain attendance details of each employee from all branches. Every month it was a herculean task for HR in making note of late marks of the employees. At times HR also observed that attendance data were counterfeited but still company had to pay for it.

GRUH Finance wanted to streamline time-attendance policies for their employees across all branches. A centralised database management for time-attendance using a biometric system was the major requirement of the company when they approached Matrix. Additionally, they wanted a system which can automatically distribute fingerprint images to all their 120 offices in India. It also wanted employees to be able to apply for leave/tour from anywhere, and on receipt of any such application the authorising person should get an email notification. In addition, the company also wanted to manage the attendance of those field staff who mark their “in” punch at one location and “out” punch from a different location.

Matrix offered solution

Matrix offered their enterprise range of time-attendance solutions to GRUH Finance at their corporate head office in Ahmedabad. The central server is installed at head office and can be utilised as a system to automatically distribute fingerprint images to all the locations. Time-Attendance software is installed to use enhanced time-attendance and leave management features.
