In May this year, VINCI took the decision to replace their
previous manual staff tracking consisting of timesheet
and paper logbooks by a modern and automated Time &
Attendance solution. Their objective was a reliable and
gapless daily logging of all staff being on site, for evalua-
tion and reconciliation at the end of the event. The new
system was expected to be reliable and very flexible to
cater for the irregular work shifts 24/7 for the entire staff.
No doubt the system had to be very easy to use for both
employees and supervisors, allowing the VINCI staff to
concentrate on their very own tasks, running the stadi-
um during the Athletics World Cup with over 300.000
spectators during the 10 competition days.
Upon recommendation by the central VINCI Facilities
buyer, VINCI opted for ISGUS ZEUS®/eAttendance
Manager offered by STANLEY Security, who were
already known to the Vinci corporate purchasing, based
on previous projects with security products.
One of the key factors for the decision for ZEUS®/
eAttendance Manager was the Software as a Service
option, allowing to host the system at the ISGUS data
centre, as VINCI did not want to further burden their IT
infrastructure and resources on site.
Also the time factor was an important element, as the
World Para Athletics Championships already opened on
July 14th and the system was supposed to be fully opera-
tional by then.
“We also liked the fact that STANLEY/ISGUS offered
us a portable unit for clocking, which could be used as
an alternative login unit in the arena, where there is no
network available. Communication to the host system at
the ISGUS data centre via the mobile radio network
(4G/LTD) worked out really well”, states Daniel Wilkin-
son, the Senior Quantity Surveyor at VINCI Facilities,
who accompanied the system introduction from the
beginning.
“Our staff got quickly familiar with the handling on
the login terminals and liked the concept of fingerprint
clocking; however some staff in the beginning were
confused by terminal messages such as “see supervi-
sor”, informing about a previously missed clocking. All
together the STANLEY team was very supportive, and
initial difficulties e.g. with our firewall, were resolved
quickly”, Daniel resumes.
The next upcoming events at the London stadium will
be football, rugby and concert events. No doubt ZEUS®/
eAttendance Manager will continue making the VINCI
Managers’ lives easier, e.g. using the Group diary, giving
an instant overview about planned and future shifts,
or planned absences of their staff, and make sure the
VINCI workforce will be accurately compensated after
each event.
