EMPTECH was awarded a contract from China Construction Bank (CCB) to deliver Smart Travel Document Management System, in order to help CCB manage travel documents of banking staff intelligently.
The People's Bank of China (PBoC), the central bank of the People's Republic of China responsible for carrying out monetary policy and regulation of financial institutions in mainland China, has issued regulations about administration of exiting from mainland China on private purpose which Chinese financial institutions should comply with.
In order to better protect national interests, avoiding the state functionary leaving mainland China for illegal matters, according to the regulations, the financial institutions have responsibility to conduct unified management on the travel documents of banking staff and strictly review the applications from banking staff for exiting from mainland China on private purpose.
The banking staff have to handover their travel documents to the human resources department (HR) when on-board, such as Passport and Exit-Entry permits for travelling to and from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, when they need to leave mainland China for personal matters, they have to submit applications and make records to the departments responsible for approval, the applicants can get back their travel documents from HR after approval, but need to return them within the specific days after they are back to mainland China.
In accordance with the previous management method in CCB, at each bank branch, the HR department assigns one or two persons to specially responsible for travel documents Storage, Record and Dispensing. When HR get the travel documents from banking staff, they will put them in a storage box, which is at low security and easy to lose, it is also hard for HR to find the right document quickly during dispensing. When the applicants get back their documents upon approval, HR need to manually record owner name, document number, document dispensing date, document valid period, borrow and return dates on a notebook, when the documents are returned, HR need to execute the same process again, which is at low efficiency and easy to make mistakes, this also brings heavy workload to HR. Thus, CCB is in urgent need of smart travel document management system to address current issue.
