The Temperus system accurately measures the amount of time each member of staff spends using a particular website or application.
Microsoft Office applications such Word, Excel or Outlook
Websites such as Google, eBay, Facebook or YouTube
Web-based email such as Hotmail, Yahoo Mail or Gmail
Instant messaging programs such as Skype or Yahoo Messenger
CRM applications such as Salesforce or GoldMine
ERP applications such as SAP or Siebel
A small piece of software is installed on each PC or laptop. This runs unobtrusively in the background, without affecting performance in any way. Staff can see that it is running, as a small icon is displayed in the bottom right corner of their screen.
The software records each time the user switches to a different application or website, and measures the amount of time spent there. Having lots of different windows open on the screen is not a problem, as only activity in the window 'with focus' counts.
Our system looks for mouse or keyboard activity and stops recording if the computer is left idle for a minimum period, so there is no danger of recording inaccurate data if an employee is on the phone or leaves their desk for any reason (meetings, lunchtimes etc).
Activity information is securely encoded and sent over the Internet to our central server for analysis.
