INTERFLEX IF-6040 INTEGRATE WITH TBS
19 May 2015
Touchless Biometric Systems integrates seamlessly with Interflex IF-6040 resulting in a unique, complete Biometric Time & Attendance Management solution for mid-sized to large installations.
Interflex, part of Allegion, a leading provider in complete solutions
for workforce management, time accounting and access control security solutions
integrates with TBS.
Based on Microsoft technologies Interflex’s powerful IF-6040 software meets
the most demanding requirements of access control and time & attendance.
TBS on the other hand is a biometric manufacturer and solution provider with a
complete high-end portfolio of biometric hard- and software.
Interflex had the need to extend their biometric offerings. Weighing up
the pros and cons of make or buy they decided to partner with TBS, a biometrics
specialist at the forefront of biometric developments. Instead of investing
resources in a fast moving specialized technology, Interflex preferred to concentrate
on their core know-how. With Swiss biometrics manufacturer TBS they found a one-stop
shop for their biometric needs.
For the integration, a unique approach was chosen. Instead of doing it
the traditional way by integrating single devices, TBS was integrated as a
biometric sub-system. The main data exchange (user data as well as attendance
events) is done on a system level via web services. By integrating a system
rather than devices Interflex benefitted immediately from a complete biometric
infrastructure and a broad variety of biometric hardware and applications, all
operated by the TBS biometric-subsystem. This resulted in a truly equal
partnership with each partner dealing
with his own core know-how and combining it seamlessly for additional customer
value. End-customers perceive it as one solution. From enrollment up to
reporting everything becomes part of Interflex IF6040 management software.
For
both partners the combination opened up new market opportunities which resulted
in installations for Audi, BMW, Pictet Private Bank, Sparkasse Munich and Saudi
Ground Services among others.
"Using one platform, integration with TBS has made it
easy for us, our Partners and for the handling of our biometric projects”
