The Problem: Analogue Time Tracking In A Digital Age
Your operators punch in on a physical clock or write their hours in a notebook. Holiday requests are scribbled on a whiteboard or sent via WhatsApp. You manually enter timesheets into your accounting software, and half the time someone's hours are wrong. Disputes over overtime, shift swaps, and holiday balance become political arguments because there's no single source of truth.
Meanwhile, your payroll system doesn't talk to your HR, so you're doing data entry twice.
The Solution: Digital Timesheet, Built For Your Shop
We provide a simple, shop-floor-friendly punch system and a dashboard for managing shifts, holidays, and operator availability. It integrates with your accounting software so payroll data flows automatically.
Unlike generic HR software designed for office workers, every feature is built with factory reality in mind: shift rotations, double shifts, shift swaps, clocking in at the machine (not at a computer), and operators who don't use email.
Key Features
- Simple Punch Clock: Operators tap a card or scan a code at a shop-floor terminal. No complexity. Works offline if your network drops.
- Shift Management: Define your exact shift patterns (early/late/nights, rotating shifts, variable start times). The system tracks who's supposed to be where and when.
- Holiday & Leave Tracking: Operators request time off. Manager approves. Balance is calculated automatically. No more whiteboard disputes.
- Shift Swaps: Operators can request to swap shifts. Manager approves with one click. Audit trail is automatic.
- Overtime Alerts: System flags when an operator is approaching overtime thresholds so you can manage labour costs.
- Export to Payroll: Sync to Xero, QuickBooks, or your accounting software. No manual re-entry.
- Compliance & Audit: Full audit trail of all time entries, changes, and approvals. Ready for employment law compliance.
The Real Impact
For a typical 10–15 person shop:
- 5–8 hours per month saved on manual timesheet entry and reconciliation
