McDonald’s is a globally renowned brand known for its chain of fast food restaurants, serving hamburgers, French fries, sodas and more. Malaysia had a first taste of McDonald’s back in the 1980s when McDonald’s Corporation granted a license to Golden Arches Restaurants Sdn Bhd to operate McDonald’s restaurants in the country. To date, there has been more than 200 restaurants located nationwide and McDonald's Malaysia is currently expanding to about 20-25 restaurants annually while employing more than 12,000 local people.

The Kuala Terengganu branch of McDonald’s has been looking for an effective solution in order to address the security issues that they have. They turned to IONS System for guidance and the company recommended FingerTec terminals in order to suit their requirements. The branch was looking to deploy the terminals at their branch’s office and at their Drive Thru restaurant in the city. IONS would then suggest the deployment of FingerTec R2 at the branch’s office for a stronger level of access control and the deployment of FingerTec TA200 Plus at the Drive Thru outlet to monitor the staff’s time attendance. The employees were excited to use FingerTec biometric systems due to its quick verification, huge storage capacity and advanced technology that replaces the time-tested punch card and various other manual time attendance systems.

IONS System (M) Sdn Bhd is well-known for being a competitive cutting-edge pioneer in the IT industry for more than eight years. Their wealth of experience combined with their capabilities, knowledge and resources empowers them to handle consulting, integration, implementation and support services. IONS’ vision is to be the leading provider of information and communications products and value-added services and their marketing of FingerTec products have proven to be effective with this successful installation. We hope that IONS will continue to strive for such efforts in their marketing of the FingerTec brand.
