Nationwide Installation, Service & Help Desk

Our business was founded on service and support and this is a part of the business that we feel very strongly about. It is what allows us to keep such a high customer retention rate.

We have our own in-house support and service department, over 50% of our employees work in this area. We train our employees extensively on all of our product range and rotate our on-site engineers onto the help desk every few weeks. We repair and service every product ourselves and are not reliant on sending products back to the manufacturer keeping turn around for mail order products the same day. For products with on-site service agreements, we are usually on site the same business day as we have engineers located throughout the UK.

If the product cannot be repaired there and then, a service replacement is installed so that you have minimal down time. Our customer support department also use remote support login software such as Team Viewer to quickly and easily resolve queries.

Our Customers

Due to the broadness of our product range, we are able to accommodate virtually any size and type of businesses requirements, from small independent companies with only 2 employees to well known industry giants like WH Smith with multiple sites and thousands of employees, to DPD, ScS, Starbucks, Specsavers, O2, ROK, GSK, Adecco, Rolls Royce to Local councils and NHS sites.

Each of our customers' requirements are unique and each are treated as such, we take extra care in listening to their specific requirements and carefully selecting or producing the right product for their needs.

Sometimes requirements may not be catered for with an on off the shelf solution, this is where our bespoke projects department really comes into its own, working with you to create the perfect tailored solution on time, and under budget!

  • Biometric Terminals - Face, Fingerprint, Palm & Hand

    Biometric clocking terminals have become some of our best selling products. These scan unique characteristics of an employees’ body, usually their Face, Fingerprint, Palm Hand, ensuring positive identification of the person when gaining entry to the site or when clocking in. This technology is no longer just for larger businesses, we have some fantastic low cost, ultra reliable solutions for smaller organisations too.

  • GDPR & Our clocking devices

    Our clocking terminals that link to software can be used to store personal employee data, so it must be factored into your GDPR compliance policies and procedures. Our own view is that the information stored in the clocking devices will be very low-risk. As you will probably be aware, biometric data is not treated the same when it comes to GDPR. What is re-assuring for our clients is that our clocking terminals convert Biometric data into a mathematical algorithm, in other words they do not store the actual picture of an employees face, fingerprint or palm on the device (although picture capture can be enabled on facial recognition terminals if required).
