		NOVAtime compliments its industry-leading software technology with the widest variety of hardware and data collections options designed to meet the environmental and business requirements of any company. From the basic badge readers to the full-featured self-service kiosks, these hardware options provide the necessary functionality to support all types of workforces. Input methods, including key-in, bar code, megnetic stripe, hand readers, finger print, telephone, and web services provide options as needed for various working environments and company security requirements. Finally, connectivity options ranging from modem to network to wireless to cellular (GPRS) mean NOVAtime’s data collection devices can be supported in a wide range of work sites and available infrastructure.


		NT6500 terminal can send time punches to the server immediately and provides real time self-service functions. Besides the traditional time clock functions, NT6500 supports amazing kiosk features like: real time access of: employee timesheet employee accrual benefit hours employee work schedules employee performance tracking data (Points) time off request system dollar entry (tips, per diem, etc.) auto-enrollment (biometric options) Input methods include magstripe, barcode, proximity readers,and biometric options. Because the NT6500 utilizes NOVAtime's innovative PUSH Technology with no data collection, standard polling routines and complex firewall configurations are eliminated. Please see the NT6500 brochure for additional details.

		‘Badge’ normally refers to magnetic swipe cards, which works like a credit card with a magnetic stripe on one side that employees slide through the time clock. The NT5000II terminal is a PC based magnetic reader specially designed for time management and job tracking data collection. Besides clocking In and Out, it is used for job entry and other input functions. Supervisors can send general greetings and specific messages for individual employees. The internal bar code decoder allows for easy connection of bar code readers such as Pen, CCD, Laser, and Omni-Directional scanners. For more details, see the brochure for NT5000II.

		Using hand geometry technology, a hand punch reader brings accuracy and security integration to NOVAtime’s solutions. It eliminates "buddy punching", which is an age old problem of employees clocking each other in. With hand readers implemented within a company, each employee’s hand is their badge! It also eliminates issues with lost badges. NOVAtime partners with RSI/Schlage and offers the following hand punch readers: Hand Punch 1000E Hand Punch 1000 Hand Punch 2000 Hand Punch 3000 Hand Punch 4000

		Employees dial a telephone number to clock in and out, perform job transfers, hear their work schedules, plus many great workforce management features - in real time, without data collection! Completely integrated with NOVAtime 3000 and NOVAtime 4000, it is a perfect solution for companies with employees working at remote locations (off-site employees). See the NOVAtime Phone-In System brochure for more information.

		Barcode time clocks utilize the "3 of 9" barcodes. Like the magnetic badge readers, employees slide the card through the time clock. It's usually used for job tracking. For more details, see the brochure for NT5000II.

		Proximity time clocks do not require employees to slide their badges through the reader. Your employees simply present their proximity badge in front of the time clock for quick and efficient access. Many companies already use proximity cards (HID, RFID, etc.) within their environment for access control and NOVAtime will support most of these technologies to mitigate costs and deployment of new badges.

		Using your existing investment in Palm or Windows-based PDAs to run NOVAtime’s workforce management software puts the power of these solutions into your employees’ and supervisors’ hands Because PDA handheld devices are small and portable, this module is great for mobile users who need to track their time in the field. Supervisors may also punch in a group of employees with one entry! The time punches from your handheld devices are collected the same way as the other data collection device! Uploads and downloads are supported through desktop synchronization software as well as real-time WiFi and GPRS access.

		Capturing your employees time punches anytime, anywhere using a browser based time clock that runs on LAN, WAN, and Internet. NOVAtime also offers Offline Modules that allow employees to punch when there is no network connectivity. Punches will be stored on the local workstation until connectivity is restored, at which point the data will be transmitted to the application.

		It is a workstation based thin-client time clock that runs on virtually any LAN, WAN configuration, and Terminal Server. The PC Key-In module has keys and features similar to a time clock. Like a data collection terminal, it displays a general greeting and selected messages for specific employees. See the Small Business Interactive Demo for more details.
