TimeTECH is hopping on another plane to attend the CPA (Canadian Payroll Association) Annual Conference and Exposition in Victoria British Columbia. We will be showcasing our time and attendance and workforce management software solutions to organizations of all sizes and industries.
We attended the show last year in Montreal and received a lot of great feedback and spoke to many great companies across Canada. We hope to run into them again this year, and see some new faces!
The CPA Conference and Tradeshow is an annual event for:
- New and experience Payroll, HR, and IT professionals
- Specialists from related fields, such as finance and accounting
- Consultants, trainers, business owners and other individuals with a functional responsibility for payroll.
If you’d like to attend the tradeshow portion of the show on June 10th, you can contact us for a complimentary floor pass which will give you access to all the vendor’s displays.
See you at the show!
Today was the big day! Everyone has found their desk and offices!
Still waiting on the new furniture for James!
Enjoy the pictures!
Today is the last day in our old office; boxes are being packed, wires are disconnected and everyone is really excited for the move!
I recently wrote an article to be posted in the Mississauga Board of Trade Magazine that is published every quarter. See below:
TimeTECH Moves to a Larger Office to Accommodate Expansion!
As most companies are struggling through these uncertain economic times, some companies are expanding and thriving. TimeTECH is one of these companies. Why? TimeTECH is helping companies operate more efficiently by automating their workforce management and time and attendance practices, saving companies anywhere from one to three percent of their annual payroll expenses. That’s a lot of dough!
So far in 2009 TimeTECH has doubled their staff, won the Small Business of the Year Award from MBOT and is currently moving into their new office at 7420 Airport Rd Unit 101 to accommodate the increase in staff and future expansion plans. The new office will be equipped with state of the art technology, demo rooms and more room for the team!
TimeTECH celebrated their 25th anniversary last year, and looks forward to the next 25 years of business excellence. “We have achieved many milestones in 2008 and 2009…Moving into a larger office is a sign that we are going to achieve great things in the near future” Says President and CEO James Edwards.

We are back in Mississauga after a great week in sunny Long Beach California at the APA’s 27th Annual Congress Tradeshow and Conference for payroll professionals.
Although the show was smaller this year, we met some great people from all over the United States interested in automating their workforce management and time and attendance practices with an automated system such as TimeTECH‘s TimeKeeper.
Long Beach was a beautiful place with many great restaurants and things to see. We had dinner on the Queen Mary, had fresh seafood, and tried some of the best beers at the Yard House, home of the largest draft beer selection.
During our stay, we met up with Denise from S&F Management (a great customer of ours) and enjoyed a beautiful dinner and great conversation.
See you next year at the APA in Washington DC!
As TimeTECH‘s staff has been expanding and sales are on the rise, a new office is due. Our new hires have been patiently waiting for the big move so that they have a space of their own. For now, they have been going through training in our current board room.
We will be moving to a different unit downstairs in our current building at 7420 Airport Rd Misssissauga. The new office will be almost double the size of our current office, allowing room for further expansion!
The new office will be equipped with state of the art IT technology; including a new phone system, fast internet connection and an upgraded polycom communication system to keep us close with our other offices.
Below are some pictures of our new space during the construction process.
Well, the countdown is on! Only a few more days until the 2009 APA Annual Congress in Long Beach California!
TimeTECH will be exhibiting at the tradeshow portion of Congress at booth number 435. Last year Congress was held in Austin Texas where we made our first APA appearance as an exhibitor. The show was so successful, we decided to participate again. Last year we met thousands of HR and Payroll professionals interested in workforce management software, time and attendance, absence planning, benefit accruals, vacation planning and more!
We were shocked at how many large organizations across North America are still processing their time and attendance and other workforce management practices manually! They were all impressed by the amount of time and money their organization could saving by integrating TimeTECH’s workforce management solutions. Most companies see anywhere from 1-3% of their annual payroll back in savings.
Where do the savings come from?
- Eliminating buddy punching
- Time fraud
- Manual processing time
- Processing errors
- Rounding of hours
- Time spent processing pay rules
- Eliminating spreadsheets!
- And more!
If your company is attending the APA Congress in Long Beach, feel free to stop by our booth during the tradeshow hours to say hello! You can find us at booth 435.

On Friday afternoon Michael Williams and Mike Willhelm headed downtown to blackDot’s office to start the recording process of Jimmy.
The English voiceover is done by Mike Willhelm – TimeTECH’s VP of Sales & Marketing. Why? Well, when we were going over the script, we couldn’t think of anyone better. He did a great job; in fact… perhaps another career opportunity might be in his future!
This week blackDot will be beginning the animation process to make Jimmy come alive just in time for the APA tradeshow in Long Beach California for his official introduction. The guys from blackDot are doing a great job and we are really looking forward to the end result. It’s been a fun process.
Mississauga, Ontario (TimeTECH) has partnered with Blackdot to create and deploy a cartoon fictional character, “Jimmy” to be TimeTECH‘s new voice and image behind one of the world’s leading time and attendance / workforce management solutions.
Jimmy will now be at the forefront of TimeTECH’s image by making it easier than ever for potential clients to find answers to their workforce management issues. Jimmy will be introduced in a 100ft overview video of TimeTECH and will be displayed on a newly created site, fully designed by Blackdot.
The new microsite will allow users to gain an understanding on TimeTECH’s product offerings, book a custom demo, and easily navigate through TimeTECH’s product offerings.
“I am really excited for the launch of Jimmy and the microsite. Jimmy will definitely create that fun, professional, and consultative image that TimeTECH strives for” – says Michael Williams, Corporate Marketing Coordinator for TimeTECH.
You can expect the release of Jimmy for the End of May, followed by the completion of the microsite in June.

TimeTECH‘s President and CEO and Audrey Bouwers – HR and Office Manager just came home from a week in Israel.
TimeTECH’s global head office is located in Tel Aviv where James and Audrey visited the new office building in the heart of the technology sector of Tel Aviv.
The goal of this trip was to look at how the two organizations can improve on operational efficiencies and build on global synergies. We found areas where we were able to eliminate duplicated processes and leverage improvements found in each other’s operations.
We opened the lines of communications to put a continuous improvement process in place.
Of course, after attending several meetings, there was some time to see the great sites including the Golan Heights Winery where a little wine tasting occurred. Golan Heights so happens to be a great client of TimeTECH and they make some incredible wine!
Below are some photos from their trip. – Welcome back!
TimeTECH would like to welcome aboard some new folks to the TimeTECH team.
