Companies Collaborate on Solutions for Enabling Custom / Engineered-to-order Manufacturers to Add Global Workforce Location Information, and Create the Next Generation of Time and Attendance Tracking
LAS VEGAS -- July 27, 2005 -- Trakware Systems Inc., a leading provider of software solutions for project-based manufacturing, today announced the partnership with Xora, Inc., a leading provider of Mobile Workforce Management solutions, with their first location, time and attendance tracking integration success at a client site.
Their mutual custom manufacturing client, Brunt Associates, Inc - a Carpentry and Millwork Contractor, specializing in commercial, educational and health care facilities - is extremely excited and confident that the newly set-up integration will further improve profitability, regardless of job size or location (Brunt has been a Trakware customer since 2001).
"Xora is exceptionally well thought out and is exactly what I want in remote time tracking.” says Brian Brunt, owner of Brunt Associates "We all know that Trakware does an excellent job of collecting time in the plant through our TouchTrak stations; however time sheets from the field are less than accurate… Sometimes they are close, most of the time they are wrong, but everything else in Trakware is exact! So why can't collecting time from the field be exact? With Xora it is. The most exciting part of this integration is that the time that is collected from the field is imported into Trakware in a near real-time setting. For accurate job cost history this is a must. Another benefit was that adding Xora to our phones was a very simple process. I really think this will be a tremendous advantage to all manufacturers, especially those with field installation crews."
"Trakware customers consistently report significant cost savings with the use of our time and attendance module - as much as $100,000 in the first year alone," explains Randy Richel, Vice President and General Manager at Trakware Systems. "Xora facilitates a minimum annual savings of nearly $1500 per employee - the combined effect of both solutions will certainly warrant the undivided attention of manufacturing owners and executives throughout the USA."
Xora and Trakware Systems also announced today that they will continue to work together to offer access to these technologies to their customers. "We are pleased to be entering this partnership with Trakware Systems", said Ananth Rani, Vice President of Products and Services. "Our LocationTone partner program enables Xora partners to quickly mobilize applications, make them GPS-location-aware and expose the joint solution to wireless carrier channels. We are really looking forward to achieving similar positive results with new and existing customers."
