HEINE Optotechnik

Quality made in Germany

Devising and building the highest quality medical diagnostic instruments – that was the vision of company founder Helmut A. Heine more than 70 years ago. This basic principle is still lived and breathed at HEINE Optotechnik, a worldwide leading manufacturer of primary diagnostic instruments. Whether general medicine, ophthalmology, dermatology, dentistry or veterinary medicine – HEINE optical instruments are now part of physicians’ daily instruments across the world. More than 500 employees work for HEINE worldwide, most of them in Herrsching am Ammersee, which is where the products are made. The family business relies on experience, craftsmanship and the most advanced technologies in the production of its high-quality instruments. The demands made on the new workforce management solution were also very high. The solution was tasked with combining the highest degree of functionality with state-of-the-art technology, sustainability and scalable architecture – and the capability of flexibly supporting the company's growth course. This was due to the fact that HEINE aimed to deploy a single solution for time & attendance management at home and abroad. ATOSS Time Control met all the company's requirements in its standard version and impressed with its intuitive user interface, smart reporting functions and multilingual capability.

The audited interface with the payroll system of our partner DATEV marked an additional benefit. Today, HEINE's employees in Germany record their working times on modern terminals and apply for vacation and absences electronically on their PCs via Employee Self Services. The next step will be to equip managerial staff with the ATOSS Mobile Workforce Management app. This will enable them to process their employees' applications any time and anywhere via smartphones or tablets and make time corrections. A comprehensive package of solutions that efficiently support the optical technology specialists from Bavaria in their work serving healthcare.
