NTT Comware Starts New Time and Attendance Management Service on Tablets at 200 Yen per Month
- NTT Comware's "follow® Smart Touch"-

NTT Comware Corporation (Head office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Shinobu Umino, hereinafter, NTT Comware) starts "follow Smart Touch," a new SaaS time and attendance management service using Android, iOS tablets and smartphones on May 27, 2015.
The service at 200 yen per month per user, the industryfs lowest price, is to support corporate customers in managing the time and attendance of employees, including the function to manage leave and shift operations.
Compared to the traditional time and management system using a time-clock, this service can significantly save user costs, as well as facilitate users to start and get used to the new system thanks to the intuitive operation using smartphones and "Simple Settings (KANTAN SETTEI KINO)" and other effective functions.
Users can also register the time and attendance from a remote location using their smartphones, and even claim travel expenses (optional).
Such functions are effective to save time and costs of employees on outside duties as well as to improve the efficiency of sales activities.

1. Features of the Service

(1) Cost saving to start the service by using tablets, BYOD(*1)
The service is simple: users just install NTT Comware's free application on off-the-shelf Android or iOS tablets and use it as a time-clock to register their time and attendance. This simple app-based operation significantly saves costs in managing the time and attendance of employees, compared to the conventional time-clock. The cost to use the service is affordable as employees can use their smartphones instead of conventional systems.

(2) The monthly fee of 200 yen is the lowest in the industry. Plus, pay-as-you-go charging.
The service includes time and attendance management, a leave request function, and creates and manages the shift record at a monthly charge of 200 yen per user. The travel expense management function is also available as an option at 150 yen.
The monthly fee is charged as "pay-as-you-go", which is ideal for the food and services industries in which the number of staff members such as part-time workers may vary by season.

(3) Efficiency using Smartphones
This service contributes to achieve work efficiency for employees on outside duties for sales since they can use their smartphones to register their attendance and leave, or even claim their travel expenses. The GPS function is also effective to track down the places where they work.

(4) Easy initial settings and efficient technical support
Although some people say it would be time consuming to register the work conditions, "follow Smart Touch" requires only a simple setting. Users can choose the items on the questionnaire of the pull-down menu on the screen. The intuitive interface using tablets significantly saves time to introduce such systems since no time-consuming orientations or seminars are required. NTT Comware also has an efficient technical support center with operators to help users on the phone use the system.
