Solution Description
Customers can struggle to make good use of the large amounts of valuable operational data that builds up in their Hikvision Access Control Platforms. This data could save them money and increase their safety, but they don't have a way to use it easily and reliably.
Here at Thinking Software, we focus on the security, safety, and profitability of our Customers. We are ISO27001 and Cyber Essentials Plus certified. Our RotaOne System—available both on the cloud or on-premises—is an extremely flexible, functional Workforce Management and Time & Attendance platform.
- The Hikvision / RotaOne integration provides Hikvision users with effective real-time benefits from their operational data. Customers collect large amounts of valuable data in their Hikvision Access Control Platforms.
- The Hikvision / RotaOne integration transforms such data into Rotas, Budgets, Costs, and sophisticated HR and Payroll Reporting with a minimum of user effort.
- The Hikvision / RotaOne integration makes Hikvision a business-critical Workforce Management platform, on top of its role as a Security and Access Control system
The application of this solution should be subject to the applicable local laws and regulations.
