TENSOR JOLLY

Mon 30th June 2003

 
The Jolly Hotel is one of the most elegant hotels in London and when their managing director wanted a similar staff management system to the one he had previously in his New York hotel, the Jolly Hotel decided on Tensor.

The hotel has 12 departments, several different shift patterns and 150 employees. They required a system where management could quickly and easily check employee timekeeping and absences.

Management visited the Paragon Hotel in London to see a Tensor system in action and to talk to the users of the Tensor WinTA system. They picked Tensor because it looked so simple to use and was one of the cheapest. 

Due to the hotel layout they have two Smart Card clocking stations linked using Tensors' Ethernet modules to their existing network. Dean Strange, the IT manager said, 'The employees were a bit sceptical initially but found the Tensor Smart Cards very easy to use. After initial training from Tensor, the management also found the monitoring and reporting of staff lateness and absence simple too'

Financial Controller, Eamon Coughlan, said, 'The system is so simple to use and any problems I have had were quickly dealt with by the Tensor helpdesk who helped me resolve them step by step'


Located in an unusually peaceful corner of Westminster, the Jolly Hotel St Ermin's exudes comfort and elegance. Built in 1887, this deluxe Victoria style hotel is 16 miles from Heathrow Airport. London's major attractions, including Buckingham Palace, Houses of Parliament, St. James Park and Westminster Abbey are located within 1.5 miles of the hotel. 

With its magnificent Baroque staircase, well appointed air conditioned bedrooms and a choice of restaurants renowned for their international and Italian cuisine, the St. Ermin's is a special hotel. 

The in-house Caxton Bar, popular among business people, offers a luncheon carvery in its Cloisters Brasserie. The Allegro con Brio (opening July 2003) specialises in superb Italian regional cuisine. The classical English theme is reflected in the refined guestrooms. The rooms are decorated in earthy tones that blend perfectly to creating restful atmosphere. The hotel offers meeting rooms fitted with state-of-the-art-technology, qualifying the Jolly Hotel St Ermin's as the ideal spot for hosting business meetings and conferences. The Jolly Hotel St Ermin's is minutes to shopping and entertainment venues.
