About Landford Stone
Landford Stone is a provider of quality stone for the home, such as granite, quartz and marble. They are a family run company whose directors have been a part of the industry over 45 years. There are currently three generations of the family working for Landford Stone, and the 45 employees whose skills and abilities are industry renowned, have also been with the company for many years. Their vision is:
- To continue to be the No.1 stone fabrication company in the UK.
- To take pride in what we do, working alongside high calibre trade partners producing the best stone works across the UK.
- To continue to train and retain some of the best, highly qualified and skilled stonemasons in the industry.

The Problem
Landford Stone were keen to move to a cloud based system, as their previous Time & Attendance product was on-premise, meaning they had to host a server onsite. This meant their Time & Attendance system could only be accessed onsite, and incurred costs for server maintenance. As the clocking-in terminal was situated outside, it also needed to be waterproof. The customer didn’t want employees to clock in and out for their unpaid breaks and wanted little manual data amendments, so it was important the data could export to payroll.
Our Solution
Chronicle Online proposed Chronicle Time & Attendance (T&A) system which could meet their needs.
- Waterproof IP65 terminal, which could be installed outside and withstand all weathers
- Chronicles cloud based software can be accessed from anywhere, is scalable and has no infrastructure costs for the customer.
- Flexible shift options to cover all their shift patterns
- Automatic deduction of breaks
- The ability to check hours for payroll weekly via the attendance screen
- Existing reports which could export to Quickbooks for payroll

Project Summary
This was a quick set up, with the system going live just one month after receiving the customer’s completed project pack. Zac Ballard from Chronicle led the training and system setup remotely, with training carried out across three one hour sessions via Teams. Landford Stone then had a two month testing period.
Outcome
The new Chronicle system delivered a cloud based, efficient time & attendance system which also provided a list for real time fire reporting. Breaks were deducted automatically, and the hours data could be exported to send to Quickbooks for payroll. The customer can easily view hours worked throughout the month, meaning any exceptions can be dealt with in a timely manner, making payroll quicker and easier.
‘Chronicle couldn’t have been more helpful from the beginning. They set everything up really quickly, and have been great whenever we’ve had questions. We couldn’t have asked for any more.’
