IMPLEMENTED SOLUTION

The history of this partnership is as long as the history of our company and illustrates the quality of the relationships we have established in order for them to be serious and lasting.

Epal has made full use of the Actuasys EXPERT solution, Attendance with Self-Service, Mobile-App and Time Planning, Access with the Entry Point and Canteens module. All these modules allow management of all entities that access all the company’s websites, its headquarters on Av. da Liberdade and the Olivais, Barbadinhos, Arco, Asseiceira, Vale da Pedra, Vila Franca de Xira, Arco and Valada do Tejo sites. The entry points are managed with turnstiles, vehicle barriers with license-plate recognition and automatic gates. The four company canteens that serve all of its employees are managed with the Expert Canteens solution and the attendance of all employees is managed through including everyone involved in a system well distributed by employees, various levels of management and the HR department.

A total of 60 UMV3, UMV5 and UMV6 terminals ensure integration with the various access control devices, permitting the registration of reservations and consumption as well as the registering of attendance.

MOTIVATION

Already in the 1990s, Epal had a demanding HR department that was aware of the need for the standardisation and automation of procedures. The time spent in processing working times was quite high and there was an intention to reduce it while increasing the standardisation of its treatment. Over the years, the motivations were reassessed, and the system evolved accordingly.
