From a small chicken rice stall to a popular family restaurant, A1 Chicken Rice has come a long way. However, with growth comes challenges, and one of the biggest challenges that A1 Chicken Rice faced was managing their staff attendance. With multiple branches and staff, managing attendance manually was not only time-consuming but also prone to errors.
To address this issue, A1 Chicken Rice turned to TimeTec TA, a cloud-based solution that specializes in staff attendance management. The results were immediate and impressive.
Firstly, TimeTec TA provided data centralization, which means that all data from the different branches were centralized in one place, making it easier to manage and analyze. This was a significant improvement over the manual process, which required collecting data from each branch every month.
Secondly, TimeTec TA provided more clock-in options: mobile clocking using GPS, Wifi, Beacon or NFC, and also FingerTec devices that support face recognition and fingerprint, which reduced the chances of buddy punching and other forms of attendance fraud.
Thirdly, TimeTec TA made it easier to arrange schedules for all branches. With multiple shifts in the retail industry, this feature was particularly useful for A1 Chicken Rice.
Fourthly, TimeTec TA provided real-time data, which meant that the manager could view attendance data as it was happening, and take corrective action if necessary. This helped to prevent absent staff and ensured that the restaurant was adequately staffed at all times.
Fifthly, TimeTec TA made it easy to track overtime hours, which is crucial in the retail industry, where staff often work irregular hours. This feature made it easier for A1 Chicken Rice to calculate overtime pay accurately.
Finally, TimeTec TA provided seamless integration with SQL Payroll, which meant that attendance data could be imported and exported easily. This saved time and eliminated the need for manual data entry.
TimeTec TA has transformed the way A1 Chicken Rice manages staff attendance. With real-time data, data centralization, and a range of features that cater specifically to the retail industry, A1 Chicken Rice can now focus on what they do best – serving delicious food to their customers.

Daie YADIM is a section in YADIM, the acronym for Islamic Da'wah Foundation, that manages all daies all over Malaysia. Daie or Da'i is generally someone who engages in da'wah, the act of inviting people to Islam. Daie YADIM is divided into a few divisions: Daie Komuniti, Daie Orang Asli, Daie Sabah, and Daie Sarawak. Each division provides relevant classes under their appointed areas, and therefore, all appointed daies will have to report their attendance and activities to their supervisor every day.
Without any system for the daies to report to work, YADIM's management was left with no information on all the daies' activities, let alone knowing what happens on-site when daies are assigned. On top, the leave system was also absent, and all daies needed to fill up the leave form and get an actual signature from the management to approve their leaves. Having the manual system for attendance and leave made daies management all over the place and ineffective, much to the dismay of the management.
Daie YADIM turned to TimeTec for the solutions.
TimeTec TA puts Daies in charge of their attendance!
All daies must use the TimeTec TA app on their smartphone, equipped with a GPS clocking function to report attendance and activities to the main office. All daies need to do is tap on the phone to record attendance, and the main office can access the data right away in real-time.
Now, the management can monitor all the attendance records and daies specific locations through the data received from GPS clocking, as TimeTec TA immediately uploads all data to the server.
Daies can also snap photos of the activities and attach them with the attendance data for more details for the head office.
TimeTec TA App also details the attendance overview of each daie for their viewing and self-assessment.
The main office can get all the attendance records from their staff properly through Electronic Time Card report, and they will have all the accurate attendance data ready for processing at the end of the month.
TimeTec Leave makes leave management handy!
Using TimeTec Leave, Daie YADIM can preset all leave data, applications and approvals to match the organization's leave policy, and the admin can access the settings for any modifications if required.
Once the settings are done, all daies can apply their leaves and get approvals from their superiors directly using TimeTec Leave app on the smartphone.
There will be no errors in leave entitlement, balance or accruals for each staff because everything will follow the settings done by the admin.
With any approvals given, the system will balance the leave automatically for both employees and employers to see.
Some simple changes in operation make a big difference in Daie YADIM's workforce management.
With the TimeTec system, staff data is made available to the head office every day and management is always informed about the workforce. And the seamless leave management system makes both parties pleased with the honesty and transparency.
If your organization is still not equipped with practical attendance or leave systems, TimeTec might have the solution for you. Connect with Mr. Tengku Sulaiman at sulaiman@timeteccloud.com to know more about how we could assist.

Sage Promaster Sdn Bhd was established in 2011 by a team of engineers and scientists who aspired to change Malaysia's unsustainable scheduled waste management practices and landscape. In this pursuit, the company's founders had engaged the School of Chemical Engineering, the Faculty of Engineering, University of Malaya, to undertake a Research & Development program jointly. The R&D was to characterize and validate the potentials of many types of scheduled waste generated in Malaysia that could recover its latent energy by manufacturing an alternate (green) fuel to replace COAL – a greenhouse gas-emitting fossil fuel.
Sage Promaster strives to meet the Environmental, Sustainable and Governance (ESG) criteria as an ongoing business entity, and it too is a pioneering Social Enterprise in Malaysia. A Social Enterprise is "A business entity that is registered under any written law in Malaysia that proactively creates positive social or environmental impact in a way that is financially sustainable."

Sage Promaster continues to research and innovate its technologies, processes, and end product attributes for economic, social, and environmental benefits, industrial relevance, business continuity and support Malaysia's carbon-neutral goals.

MediScreen Sdn Bhd is a company that manages the MAKSAK Medic Care Scheme in collaboration with MAKSAK (Malaysian Government Welfare and Sports Council). It has been in this field for over 28 years; MediScreen has become the first company to operate such a medical scheme for government servants. The MAKSAK Medic Care Scheme was officially launched on 30 October 2004 to provide 24-hour and comprehensive coverage, including hospital, medical and surgical facilities for the civil servants. With this cooperation, the MAKSAK Medic Care Scheme has expanded nationwide, receiving encouraging responses from government employees around the country.
For MediScreen to ensure quality services for all its members, they need to improve the standard of the workforce. They are still struggling with patchy attendance data, as they still practice manual recording of the attendance data. With the Covid-19 situation hitting the shores, the company now has to manage four working situations: in the office, out of the office, on-site, and work from home. Besides, the company hasn't invested in employee profiling, and all the information is still in hardcopy, making it hard for HR to manage the workforce properly. Thus, having no sound system to managing a growing workforce is no longer an option for MediScreen.
Mediscreen chooses TimeTec TA as a cloud-based system for their workforce.
How TimeTec TA resolves the issues:
MediScreen can still integrate their current FingerTec devices at their premises with the TimeTec TA to collect the attendance data for those who work from the office in real-time, a tremendous cost-saving measure made by the management.
The GPS clocking feature available on the TimeTec TA App makes it easy for the users who work out of the office to record their attendance data. The data pushed to the office is loaded with GPS data and recording time in real-time.
Attendance data from TimeTec TA is always available in real-time. Such convenient for the supervisor or the management to take a closer look at employees' office hours activities without any intrusion.
The HR can store all staff information in TimeTec Profile, easily accessible, powerfully connected and definitely paperless.
In short, the shift to TimeTec TA has provided MediScreen with practical methods to handle the ongoing matters and more. So not only that the management is happy with the results, the employees are also pleased with the convenience that comes along.
TimeTec TA has made it easy and seamless for MediScreen, and it might do the same for your company. If you have similar requirements that require a closer look at TimeTec TA, contact Mr. Wan Amirul Muim at wanamirul@timeteccloud.com for a FREE demo session.
