Morrisons is to upgrade its workforce management system with swipe card data capture terminals.

The principal aim of the project is to provide a single standardised time and attendance system for use at all Morrisons’ 375 sites.

The terminals should improve the time-keeping processes and assist in Morrisons’ ongoing efforts to improve productivity. It is also expected to cut costs by improving the accuracy of the payroll process.

Working with Autotime Systems, Morrisons’ IT infrastructure team is to complete the roll-out of the hardware in the next three months. Morrisons IT infrastructure team spokeswoman Lynn Kenworthy said: “The project will be an exciting one and we are all looking forward to experiencing the cost-saving benefits.”

Autotime will also provide an emergency call-out service as part of its support contract, with the aim of fixing any problems within seven hours of them being reported.
