On FingerTec Terminals
1. Is a FingerTec terminal necessary if I intend to use TimeTec TA?

A FingerTec terminal is not a must if you want to use TimeTec TA. As an alternative, you may download TimeTec Mobile on your iPhone or Android gadgets or you can use our web check-in on any computer to clock-in your attendance. But nowadays, more and more companies are choosing biometrics terminals for attendance clocking to prevent "buddy-punching" activities, and some may choose RFID card terminals for the same purpose.

2. Can I use other brands of biometrics and/or RFID terminals for TimeTec TA instead of FingerTec brand?

No. TimeTec TA does not support other brands of biometrics terminals. FingerTec terminals are reliable to be used with TimeTec TA, as they have been fully tested and seamlessly integrated into the solution.

3. Where can I buy FingerTec terminals and where would I get local support?

All of TimeTec TA appointed local authorized resellers are well versed with FingerTec solutions. Hence, you can purchase or rent FingerTec terminals and get local support directly from them.

4. How reliable are FingerTec terminals time clocks?

Usually software houses offer a lot of workforce cloud services without providing reliable hardware and sales & technical support network to ensure a smooth implementation. The brand FingerTec and its line of time attendance and access control devices have been in the market for more than a decade and the brand has received high recognition in product and support quality.

On User License
1.  What is the rationale of charging TimeTec TA by a block of 10 users instead of counting the license by the exact number of users to reduce the implementation cost?

Staff turnover is never constant and always changing in a company. To charge for an individual license for every new recruit is cumbersome because you have to go through TimeTec TA license subscription and payment process before he/she can be registered into the system, or you will need to cancel a user license if he/she had resigned. Charging 10 users per block of user licenses would ensure that a company has some spare licenses to be used at anytime. The TimeTec TA license subscription fee is only USD2 per user per month, comparatively low in the market, and the minimum of 10 users as a unit of group license only to justify our investment and commitment to provide high quality and reliable system for you.

2. If my company has a subscription billing cycle of one year, and in the middle of the year, we hire some new staff and we run out of spare user licenses. Can I buy new User Group License and still sync with my billing cycle?

Yes, you can subscribe to a new User Group License anytime, and sync it to the expiry date (calculated monthly) of your billing cycle. You would be charged according to the remaining months of your existing expiry date. In reverse, if you want to reduce your User Group License due to staff reduction, you can unsubscribe and get the refund minus the administration charge of USD10 and bank charge accordingly.

Note: The Term of Subscription Discount is not applicable for additional User Group License subscription in between Billing Cycle.

3. Do you have any terminal set up fee?

No, we don't impose terminal setup fee.

4. Could my free trial data get transferred to my subscribed account to save on repetitive tasks on system set up and data entry?

Definitely. Our system is designed to allow free trial data to be migrated to the subscribed account to avoid repetitive data entry and system set up.

5. My company is currently using FingerTec terminals, can I integrate the terminals to TimeTec TA during the free trial period?

Yes.

On Free 10 User Licenses
1. Should I purchase any FingerTec biometrics terminals to entitle me for TimeTec TA's free 10 user licenses?

You are not required to purchase any terminals from us to entitle you to receive the free TimeTec TA user-license block. Every FingerTec client automatically gets a block of TimeTec TA containing 10 user licenses for free.

2. Can I have additional free blocks if I purchase more FingerTec terminals from you?

No, one company is only entitled to a free block regardless of the amount of hardware purchase or the frequency of purchase from FingerTec or FingerTec's resellers. However, if you would like to test on more than 10 user licenses, contact us at info@timeteccloud.com to discuss further.

3. Do we need to provide credit card information to obtain these free licenses?

Don't take out your wallet just yet; we don't require any credit card information for this free account, believe it, it's FREE. However, once you decide to add some more licenses, we offer several payment methods to go about.

4. Can I create more than one free 10 user license account for my company and sync all employee's data to avoid paying subscription?

You are not allowed to do so, because each company is entitled to only one TimeTec TA free account with 10 user licenses. It is troublesome for a company to maintain multiple accounts in operation and cumbersome to sync all employee’s data. Any violation of our free-license policy may lead to suspension of your multiple free user license accounts.
