Software for absence or presence of workers

The Presence Software Suite from Northern Apex Corp. features several modules, including the EvacSafe for mustering; Task Track for labor, time, and attendance tracking; and ID-Locate for disaster relief. The personnel tracking and locating enterprise platform solution suite is turn-key, but can be tailored to meet the requirements of the end-user. The EvacSafe function tracks the number of workers who have arrived at a pre-determined mustering point and identifies missing employees or facility visitors in seconds. The Task Track Software for Labor, Time and Attendance Tracking captures data at a workstation or a defined area.
