Technician Mobile Clocking (TMC) allows workshop and field technicians to clock on and off service/repair jobs as well as work attendance from anywhere an Internet connection is available! TMC is optimised for mobile devices, including most major mobile and tablet platforms. All activities happen in real time, eliminating the need to leave the workshop floor to commence or close a job. Moreover, jobs performed out in the field can be logged on the spot, giving workshop administration a real-time view of current job loads and available resources. **** Important: Minimum system requirement, configuration and implementation conditions need to be met before using TMC.
