Kivar Environ has chosen specialist document imaging software from Advanced Business & Healthcare Solutions India (Advanced). The document imaging software, which went live in October 2011, is being used to accurately record and report on the working hours of the community workers handling waste collection for Kivar.
Lakshmi Prasad, Head-IT, Kivar said, "We recognised the need for an attendance system that could automate the collection of data from the attendance sheets, improving both efficiency and accuracy. We were introduced to Advanced and its electronic document imaging solution which uses the latest optical mark recognition technology."
Advanced's document imaging solution, automatically captures attendance information from the tick sheets. Special attendance sheets with barcodes containing the details pertaining to the shift, sub-zone, the sub-zone supervisor and community workers' names and IDs are printed daily. At the end of each shift, these sheets are scanned back at the office where the optical mark recognition (OMR) technology captures the ticks and converts these ticks into attendance data.
The barcode data is automatically read and uploaded to the central server and at the same time, the tick sheets are electronically archived. Daily attendance reports and data for management dashboards are now available in the central repository from where they can be easily retrieved over the web.
