Automated attendance logging solution

Rentokil Initial provide professional cleaning services to over 6,000 companies in the UK. A significant proportion of their cleaning operatives are classified as independent or "lone" workers. In 2003, Eckoh in association with BT, deployed an automated attendance logging solution which enables Rentokil to actively manage non-attendance and to aid compliance with health and safety regulations for independent working staff.

The automated self-service solution operates on a "log in, log off basis" with the employee calling into the service on their arrival on-site as well as their departure off-site. On receipt of each call, the service automatically applies a real-time "stamp" which is captured and consolidated into a daily report forwarded to the client. All event messages for a particular period are collated into a formatted report detailing and forwarded by email to the client on a daily basis. At all times, staff have the option to transfer through to a live agent.
