FingerTec in Portugal, as represented by us at Exportech Portugal, proved its competency by performing an important installation within The VASP Group of companies. VASP is a major magazine, journals and publications distributor for the Portuguese market for almost 36 years. They have been operating their services from as early as 1975, and are responsible for the distribution of most of the existing publications in Portugal.
 
The company approached us to carry out 2 different projects for them. The first one was straightforward enough, an installation of 10 access control terminals to control every existing main door for each department, making it possible to monitor attendance and control the access hours for each employee. The second project required more experience and integration skill, which Exportech Portugal is more than equipped to handle, aided by our years of experience.
 
The VASP group employs drivers who have daily assignments to deliver packages to a variety of locations. We installed 12 FingerTec TA102 time attendance terminals for the client, to monitor the 400 drivers working in the company. However, this system does more than monitor their drivers. When a driver checks in at the terminal, the terminal captures their attendance and informs them about the packages that they need to deliver, along with an indication of which route they should take to deliver them. This process is automated using their third party software. Everyday, packages will be sorted with an identification number that is associated with a certain route. Following this, all the driver has to do is view this identification number to know what his/her task is. If they finish the task early, they will return and clock in their attendance again, to receive another task.
 
With the integration of FingerTec in their system, VASP can now save a lot of time and money by fully automating this process, and also by knowing precisely the time it takes for each driver to complete a route making possible to improve their planning and Human Resources.
