Challenge
The Bucharest Transport Company provides public transit for Romania’s capital city and the surrounding Ilfov County area. They operate a range of tram, bus and trolleybus services and occupy several depots and terminals.
The company sought an innovative, user-friendly technology solution to manage time and attendance for a staff of approximately 11,000 people. The solution needed to be reliable and easy to deploy to multiple Bucharest Transport Company locations.
Key requirements
• Robust, secure ID credential readers which could be placed at convenient timekeeping points
• Seamless integration with the company’s preferred time-and-attendance software solution
• Hardware and components which would be fast and straightforward for their installer to fit
• Potential to extend the scope of the system to other applications and/or locations in future
Solution
“The most difficult part was to find a reliable, integrated software and hardware solution that can monitor time and attendance for 11,000 employees in multiple locations,” explains Dan Horhoianu. The answer was an Incedo Business Plus management system with ASSA ABLOY R10 iCLASS readers.
Incedo’s easy-to-install controllers are managed by Incedo Business Plus software. A fully documented API and technical support helped to streamline the process of integrating Incedo with the PrimeSourcing time-and-attendance software package.
The Incedo platform is designed to connect all kinds of business software and hardware within a single system. Incedo Business Plus is the ecosystem’s integration-ready management option: It facilitates integration with multiple third-party devices and services to help organizations do even more from a single interface.
It is also modular by design: Bucharest Transport Company can scale, in either direction, on demand.
Incedo is already deployed as an access control solution at multiple locations across Europe. From one interface, organizations manage readers alongside battery-powered Aperio wireless locks, PULSE locks powered by energy-harvesting technology and more.
Bucharest Transport Company can easily choose to extend the security capability of its existing Incedo Business Plus system at a later date.
