9. What our add-on modules
for time and attendance and access control can do
All add-on modules are executed directly in your web browser and do not have to be
installed on your computer. Data exchange between the terminals and the system
used is encrypted. This guarantees high data security.
Using a uniform interface for all modules allows the administrator of the
system to assign each user precisely the privileges that his or her work requires.
Modules the users are not authorized for will not even be displayed to them.
This makes for very easy and quick navigation in the web client, allowing the
users to find exactly the input or information masks they require.
