Recently, our reseller in Malaysia, Bumi Engineering & Consultancy Sdn Bhd, managed to seal the deal for an installation with Pembinaan BLT (PBLT) involving 7 sets of R2 and R2i. PBLT is an established developer, mainly dealing with the government of Malaysia to develop quarters and facilities for the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) throughout Malaysia.
Prior to this, PBLT was using a regular card system, different to FingerTec’s. The card system, was reliable and working fine; however, there were a few buddy punching cases occuring, where one employee would punch their colleagues card, allowing the colleague to come in late or leave early. Also, the weakness of a punch card system was that frequently, with the hustle and bustle of the morning rush, some staff would forget to bring their access cards, therefore having to rely on colleagues to go in and out of their workplace.
With FingerTec’s R2 & R2i, the buddy punching and forgetfulness problems vanish, leaving more accurate records in the system. The 166 users in PBLT now do not have to particularly remember to bring their access cards, as all they need is their fingerprint. Furthermore, Bumi Engineering has given the management of PBLT sufficient training to work the software and hardware system, as well as a 2-year maintenance contract, covering all types of support services. With all these extras, who wouldn’t be satisfied?
