Transguard Group, a subsidiary of Emirates Group, is the largest manpower supplier in the UAE. They provide fully outsourced workforces to all labor-intensive industries with specialization in construction, aviation, logistics, hospitality, and professional staffing. With 65,000+ employees across 350+ sites, Transguard required a robust biometric workforce management solution to accurately track time and attendance for payroll processing, while enduring the relentless environmental challenges of rugged construction sites.
With a massive workforce of 65,000 contract workers deployed across numerous worksites, Transguard faced significant challenges in efficiently tracking time and attendance. Previously, all Transguard Group field employees were manually tracked – a tedious process prone to errors and payroll discrepancies causing delays in closing projects. To manage such a vast workforce, Transguard needed a rugged, high-performance solution capable of streamlining operations, ensuring accuracy, and optimizing workforce productivity in demanding environments.
Strategic Deployment of IXM TITAN Enhances Time and Attendance Accuracy
After proof of performance testing, Transguard Group selected IXM TITAN for its high speed, extreme accuracy, and ability to withstand harsh environmental conditions, including construction sites; Transguard also uses TITAN for general deployments as well as its meal management system. The deployment of TITAN at entry points provides time and attendance accuracy during shift changes, and cellular connectivity ensures uninterrupted operations and 100% uptime. Bundled with Invixium’s all-in-one software platform, IXM WEB, TITAN provides Transguard Group with a comprehensive workforce management solution that spans all requirements from personnel enrolment through identity verification, time tracking, analytics, and audit trails. The optimized allocation of manpower streamlines workforce management processes and offers Transguard Group significant savings every year. Over 400 IXM TITAN biometric devices are installed at multiple sites across the UAE for accurate time tracking of 65,000 contract workers, including the latest project at Expo City in Dubai.
“TITAN has been invaluable in meeting our biometric time and attendance requirements,” said Tim Mundell, Chief Security Officer, Transguard Group. “Invixium worked very closely with our management team to deliver an automated workforce management solution that delivers exceptional administration efficiency, heightened employee sustainability, and extreme accuracy to eliminate time theft with detailed audit trails. The deployment of TITAN is a key component in our digital transformation strategy.”
“We’re honored to be a strategic partner for Transguard Group,” said Shiraz Kapadia, CEO & President of Invixium. “The scale of this massive industrial project allowed us to deliver significant savings in time and costs for Transguard Group. We are extremely pleased that our collaboration has improved operational efficiencies and provided a lasting benefit to their business.”
