We caught up with Francesca Russo at Valley Grown Salads a year on from their switch from OneAdvanced to Tensor for their Time and Attendance, Access Control and HR.

Reflecting on the origins of Tensor at the Bedford site, Caroline explained, “Tensor was there before I joined back in 2011, however, I’d imagine the goal of using Tensor was to replace a manual clocking system for accuracy in calculating hours and pay.”  Since its initial installation, Caroline has told us that they “upgraded their system a couple of times,” but overall, it has worked well for them. 

Over the years, Ichiban have used Tensor’s systems for “Keeping employee records, Time and Attendance, Access Control and holiday management through the Self-Service Module.”

With only 28 employees, Frome Livestock Auctioneers installed Tensor’s Time and Attendance System, WinTA.NET Lite with the T32xx clocking terminal, back in 2019. Our reporter spoke with their finance controller, Jackie Smith, to find out more about how our system works for them. 

Fosters Bakery is a large-scale bakery based in Barnsley, employing 155 people all on one site. They specialise in different types of bread and confectionery but started as a small baked good shop in 1952. Now they distribute their bread across the UK and around the world. 

Valley Grown Salads opted to use Tensor for Time & Attendance, Access Control and HR, and Francesca told us that “we found from the get-go Tensor does everything we need it to do! There’s a lot of features I liked from the demo, especially on the HR side of things such as the diaries and keeping track of documents; I just found it very useful and it cuts my time spent on this area of the business by 50%!”

Mr.Park was asked how long Euroglaze had the system for and said “We originally installed Tensor back in 2012, we took out Tensor from our infrastructure when we changed servers and switched to AC2000 butultimately Tensor was better, so we returned to Tensor”

Mr Newton summarised Tensor’s Time and Attendance system as “a fully granular time and attendance system, it was the type of thing we were looking for and that’s where Tensor excels”
