GSE GmbH
Transition to Cloud

Earlier this year in January, GSE Lining Technology GmbH purchased 12 Kadex devices with the intention of using the Ingress software as its access control system. The best-selling card reader devices were installed at GSE Lining Technology GmbH’s office in Germany because of their reliability, user-friendliness, affordability, and hassle-free integration.

However, as fate would have it, GSE decided to take things further by recently subscribing to TimeTec Time Attendance solution. GSE Lining Technology is a part of GSE Environmental, which is based in Texas, USA. As part of standardizing their workforce management system, GSE opt for the transition from the localized and software-based Ingress devices to TimeTec’s cloud solution for time attendance and access control. GSE has implement the use of TimeTec Time Attendance for its branches in Germany and Egypt.

GSE Lining Technology GmbH at first subscribed to 8 blocks of TimeTec, giving them 80 user licenses at the time. Not long after, due to the growing number of employees, the company added 1 more block. And with the FREE 10 user licenses for a TimeTec subscription that began on 15 August 2015, the company now has a total of 100 user licenses.

GSE’s decision to choose cloud technology for its time attendance system is one of the many examples of the predicted transitions from dedicated servers to cloud computing. A study by IHS Technology published in 2014, highlights the global market for workforce management solutions will experience a market growth from 2013 to 2018 with cloud-based services being the frontrunner.

The flexibility, scalability, and accessibility of cloud lets offices from different parts of the world to access to the same system, and in GSE’s case, for workforce management. No matter where a company, office, branch, staff, and individual employees are, accessing TimeTec requires only an Internet connection. With TimeTec Time Attendance, monitoring staff performance, giving staff multiple options for clocking in, export data to payroll, and more functions are now available for GSE from one single solution that is beyond borders.
