Purchase, implementation and maintenance of a time registration tool

Fire Department Zone Antwerp (BZA) is looking for an integrated total solution for its time registration, including hardware, software, implementation and long-term support. The goal is the realization of a reliable, safe, configurable and future-oriented system. The assignment consists of the following core components: - Software and connectivity: The delivery and configuration of a modern Dutch-language software platform for time registration. A crucial part of the assignment is setting up seamless links via APIs with BZA's existing, diverse application landscape/software packages. This should keep manual operations and duplicate data entry to an absolute minimum. The specific integration requirements are described in detail in the technical requirements of the specifications. - Hardware: The supply and installation of compatible physical time clocks (powered via Power over Ethernet - PoE). If integration with the new system requires this, the delivery of new identification badges is also part of the scope of the assignment. The contractor acts as the central point of contact for the full operation of both hardware and software. Complex personnel management: The new system must have the capacity to manage the complexity of the operational and administrative BZA organization (approximately 850 employees). The system must be able to smoothly deal with various statutes and labor regimes, including statutory and contractual (administrative) staff, operational professional fire brigade, fire brigade volunteers, temporary employees and student workers. The system must allow detailed role, rights and rule management per category. Phasing and duration of the assignment: The assignment follows a strict phasing that will be discussed and recorded during the negotiation phases of the assignment. The phases below are described based on market research and are subject to change: 1. Implementation phase: Time
