Ascentis Launches Revolutionary Smart Time Clock

The Powerful New NT8000 Time Tracking System Demonstrates Ascentis’ Commitment to Delivering the Most Advanced Workforce Management and HCM Solutions on the Market Today

Ascentis, a leading provider of cloud-based workforce management and human capital management technology solutions, announces the launch of its revolutionary smart workforce management device, the NT8000. The launch of Ascentis’ new, purpose-built NT8000 time clock signifies the company’s evolution as an industry leader in HCM solutions designed to unlock an organization’s maximum potential.

“The NT8000 is much more than a way to track time,” said Jeff Cronin, chief product officer, Ascentis. “Our premier smart time clock works hard to help your organization control efficiency, cost and ensure compliance. This allows you to focus on leveraging real-time data and insights to support your employees and organization’s unique goals.”

The NT8000 serves as an ideal standalone workforce management solution, offering employees convenient access – particularly when access to a desktop computer or HR office is limited. This groundbreaking solution enables employees to quickly access their information at the clock in a seamless, secure way, strengthening and streamlining the employee experience and reducing user error. Additionally, with multi-language support and a durable design that supports biometric and badge (proximity or HID) readers, the NT8000 can integrate with any workforce or workplace environment.

  • Seamless integration with Ascentis’ mobile and web-based solutions allowing for easy transitions between devices as appropriate in the workplace.
  • Along with the release of the NT8000, Ascentis announced the launch of its corporate rebrand.
