Job Labor Costing

Job Labor Connect is a job labor costing application that enables organizations to quickly and effectively capture direct and indirect time for all employees, in real time. As an integrated solution to Attendance Enterprise, supervisors and team leaders now have the ability to scan groups of employees into direct labor categories, such as work orders, jobs, lines and tasks.

Job Labor Connect (JLC)

The Job Labor Connect (JLC) application enables a complete wireless labor solution for employers by effectively capturing employee time spend on work-in-progress within the working environment. The application currently operates on industrial-class Symbol (pdf) handheld devices with a barcode scanner running the Microsoft Windows Mobile operating system. Data communication options are either WWAN cellular data connection and/or WLAN wireless 802.11 A/B/G.

In any given working environment, since it may not be possible to have a constant connection to the WWAN cellular data carrier or WLAN wireless access point, this mobile JLC application contains a “store and forward” approach. If a connection is not available, the application will automatically “store” data until a wireless connection is established to “forward” any collected data. Data from the host database for use on the mobile handheld terminal(s) will be transmitted automatically, in real time, when a wireless connection is present.
