WICHITA, KAN - April 20, 2005 - TimeIPS by Stratitec, (www.timeips.com) the price-point and feature leader of network time clock automation solutions for small, medium or enterprise sized organizations, today announced their new TimeIPS VAR program. The program allows partners to generate revenues by reselling TimeIPS Intelligent Personnel System TimeStations and dedicated TimeIPS TimeServers. TimeIPS is offering the following VAR program components to selling partners: comprehensive marketing material support, significant margin opportunities on initial hardware sales and upgrades, ability to offer yearly recurring subscriptions for services to customers, VAR demo discounts, Web-site referrals, lead generation referrals, and co-op advertising opportunities. TimeIPS systems are the first network time clocks of their kind to offer affordable automation of time and attendance recording and reporting, for 7 to 10 times less cost than comparable time and attendance systems. TimeIPS is designed to provide substantial savings -- potentially thousands of dollars per year per employee -- compared to manual cards or digital punch-clock devices. Each system integrates time and attendance records, detailed employee personnel information and scheduling, payroll data collection and calculation, allowing for accurate, REAL-TIME reporting and control of payroll costs and employee related issues. TimeIPS TimeStation Clients range in retail price from $500 to $1000 depending on features and employee input preferences. The optional TimeIPS dedicated servers range in price from $999 to $2999, retail. TimeIPS recently announced a series of customer generated new product enhancements which include additional payroll system compatibility including ADP, QuickBooks, PayChex and many others, flexible time-clock rules which include time-snapping and rounding features specifically designed to help manufacturing and other businesses that have a large number of employees that start work at a specific time, but enter the building and clock-in prior to work actually starting. With time-snapping, the time can be auto-forwarded to the actual employee start time. TimeIPS offers biometric, keypad, proximity card, swipe-card and bar code employee entry methods and are the only time and attendance systems to offer patent pending features like e-mail and pager alerts to proactively warn against employee overtime and schedule deviation. TimeIPS is currently used by thousands of businesses in the United States and internationally, in nearly every major segment of business or organization including offices, retail stores, banks, schools, lodging, restaurants, churches, charities, manufacturers, state and local government and many other industries. Any organization that needs to track time for their people can use TimeIPS to do so.
