Welsh car company expands

SMART Bodyshop Solutions, an accident repair centre, has moved to larger premises in Cardiff.

The company worked safely throughout the lockdown, and its new move should create at least 10 new jobs. Its new premises is at the Pacific Business Park, on Pacific Road

Director Barrie Thomas said: “Business is going exceptionally well today and our decision to continue trading through the pandemic was not taken lightly.  We had to insure that the safety of our staff and our customers was primary.

“Our ability to deliver on this has resulted in a number of new insurance, fleet, trade and retail customers and given us the opportunity to expand and double our workshop footprint, allowing us to deliver on our promises and build on our success.”

Additional workforce is a sign of success and growth for all businesses, but it can cause problems for HR, accounts and admin job tasks if not managed properly. For example, if your company still uses paper timesheets filled in weekly or monthly to work out attendance and wages, a sudden influx of more staff can add hours to a workload.

A workforce management system from Time and Attendance South West would bring your attendance systems up to date and reduce workloads considerably.

For example, managers would no longer need to approve every single timesheet every single week or month, and accounts staff would no longer need to laboriously type up the timesheets to enter them into the payroll system.

All the staff would need to do is clock in and out using one of our terminals, with either a smartcard or a biometric measurement (fingers or hands). This data is collected in our time and attendance software, and it can be exported straight to common payroll systems such as Sagepay.

Another useful function of our time and attendance system is an automated fire roll call. Currently you might be reading names with difficulty from a handwritten sign in sheet, which can be misplaced. With our system , you can be hooked up to your fire alarm. When it goes off it will automatically print a list of everyone who is currently clocked into the building.
