The iFlow application is a platform that helps to overcome the difficulties in the HR field. Thus, the team behind iFlow aims to stay up to date with changes in this field, so that all companies in various industries can benefit from the functionality of the application. Below is a list of all the news from iFlow 4.8.1.
Attendance import from the access control system
Let’s talk, for example, about the case of companies in which there is an access control system already implemented but which does not have such a complex and friendly reporting structure. Even if iFlow does not have access control, information from any existing system can be easily transferred to the application. The intuitive system behind iFlow recognizes the data on each column, which is easy to organize, and the HR department benefits from the reporting side and provides a digital timesheet.
In iFlow 4.8.1, this import is so easy to do that in just a few minutes you can have the data uploaded to the platform. All reports in the app are automatically generated with accurate information and are ready to download and be sent to the payroll software.
Link or QR code clock-in method
Depending on the specifics of the company and the categories of employees, the administrator can choose whether to provide access to the application or choose other clock-in methods. Fortunately, iFlow 4.8.1 has other ways to record employee attendance without requiring access to the platform. These are:
- The Link clock-in method
- The QR code clock-in method
The Link clock-in method
There are companies that provide services in different locations during the day. In these cases, investing in timekeeping devices for all work points is a considerable financial effort and may not be the best solution, either way. That’s why iFlow is the right platform for simply offering alternative timekeeping methods.
This quick and easy timing method is suitable for employees who are unfamiliar with technology. Thus, the employee, team leader or person responsible for the timekeeping of these employees receives a link via email, message, or any other form of messaging. After logging in, it is necessary to enter the unique code of each employee, which can be the mark number itself. The same procedure is followed to record the clock-out. All data is transmitted in real time to the iFlow application, which will be transformed into complete and accurate reports about the real attendance.
The QR code clock-in method
Just like the link clock-in method, this is just as easy. How does it work? Simple, the QR code is automatically generated in the application, and all the superior has to do is print it. The QR code image can be displayed at each workstation, in a place visible to employees. They will scan it with their own phone, then write the unique code, and the attendance is recorded in real time, by the minute.
The whole process is accessible and easy for anyone to carry out, and the superior will always be informed about the activity of the employees.
All data is transmitted instantly to the iFlow application, which will be transformed into complete and accurate reports on the real attendance.
Live customer support chat
We always want to be close to our customers and that’s why we have several communication channels such as phone, WhatsApp, and e-mail. We thought about it and brought the live chat back to the platform, so we have several options through which we can be contacted. By simply opening the platform, the chat is accessible, and someone will always be available (between 8 am and 5 pm EET, Monday-Friday) to answer questions. Through this chat, we will be able to solve small inconveniences coming from customers.
Improvements and repairs
- After each change in the application, an automatic refresh occurs.
- The automatic pause time has been increased from 60 to 180 minutes. With this feature, you can set a pause time interval that will automatically be deducted from the number of hours worked when they are exceeded.
- The employee review template can be modified to suit the specifics of each company that wants to review employees in this way.
- We’ve added Search on the allocation of import columns.
