The three-storey site off Brighton Road will open in July, and will be one of the largest showrooms in the whole of Europe. 

 

It will display 140 vehicles and incorporate a dedicated AMG suite, with 100 approved used Mercedes Benz vehicles on show in a purpose-built indoor showroom. The site will also have 30 workshop bays, which would allow customers to customise their cars. There will be two buildings on site: a dealership and a body repair centre. 

 

This large development will create 55 new jobs. 

 

John Stanton, general manager at Mercedes-Benz of Stockport, said: "The Mercedes-Benz of Stockport development is going to be a game-changer for car retail as we know it. Due to its sheer scale, and customer offering – in terms of vehicles and world-class facilities – this site will be a completely new experience for returning and new customers alike.

 

"Stockport will also be the Mercedes-Benz hub of Manchester – giving impressive claim to the soon to open state-of-the-art facility."

A major increase in staff numbers can cause unforeseen problems for HR, admin and accounts job tasks if the company’s method of recording time worked has not kept up with the expansion. 

 

For example, paper timesheets are open to deliberate falsification as well as simple confusion over layout or categories, and payroll staff end up suffering from everyone’s bad handwriting and worse memory!

 

At Time and Attendance North West, we offer specialised attendance management software which can work either with smartcards or with biometrics. As well as recording who has worked when, where and on which user-defined job, the WinTA.NET software suite can also export the data straight to all major payroll programmes (as well as many other features)

 

Our smartcards are about the size of a credit card and fit nicely into most wallets. The Radio Frequency technology means that you don’t need to physically swipe the cards, just hold them up near the reader terminal. This means they don’t wear down and need replaced.

 

For the ultimate deterrent against time theft, we can provide a hand scanner and/or a fingerprint reader. Smartcards can be lost, or swapped with colleagues to input fake times. This isn’t the case with hands and fingers!
