5 steps to a successful OPTimes rollout
A successful rollout is decided before installation: in the inventory, the schedules and the salary scale. Here is the plan we follow, day by day.
An attendance management project rarely fails for technical reasons. It fails because schedules were out of date, the employee list had duplicates or nobody had been trained. Here are the five steps we follow, and what we expect from you at each one.
1. Fleet audit (day 1)
Terminals, headcount, schedules, salary scale: a one-hour conversation is enough to say what connects as-is and what needs hardware. What we expect from you: the list of sites and terminals, and an available HR contact.
2. Employee import (day 2)
Staff number, name, assignment, category, grade, step: the employee database is imported from your files. This is the time to clean up duplicates and incomplete records — the effort pays off for years.
3. Connection and enrolment (days 2 to 4)
The server is installed, terminals are connected, schedules and salary scale configured. Fingerprint enrolment runs in parallel, department by department, without interrupting work.
4. Training (days 5 and 6)
Two days on site: administrators learn to manage employees, schedules and payroll; managers, to approve leave and justifications. The online documentation takes over from there.
5. Post-launch follow-up
The first month is for adjustments: a misconfigured schedule, a badly placed terminal. Dedicated support stays with the institution for six months. The first payslip calculated on real attendance is the project’s true milestone.
Several sites? Read Multi-entity. Unsure about hardware? See Choosing your terminal. And setup costs are detailed on the Pricing page.
Frequently asked questions
Does the rollout interrupt work?
No. Enrolment is done department by department, alongside normal activity.
Is training included?
Yes. Two days of training are included in every rollout: on site with the Pro and Institution plans, remote with the others, along with online documentation and six months of dedicated support.
