Jantek FTP Merge

Overview

Similar to other merge options, branches can upload their employees’ data to be merged in headquarters’ database. FTP Merge utilizes an FTP server which stores all the branches’ data until headquarters retrieves and merges it into their Jupiter Time & Attendance database.

Eliminating the need for a wide-area network which can be costly, FTP Merge is an excellent solution to many companies’ time management needs.

The FTP Merge module from Jantek automates the process of transmitting and receiving employee and timecard information from a company’s branches to the headquarters Jupiter Time & Attendance database. This module uses a FTP server that either the company, Jantek, or a service provider hosts.

Each branch runs a utility that automatically consolidates and transfers the data to the designated FTP server. Once all data has been transmitted, headquarters would run a companion utility to retrieve all the branches’ information and merge it to the main database.
