Shift Scheduling with Drag and Drop

Plan your entire week in minutes with a visual calendar that lets you assign shifts using simple drag and drop.

Smart Clocking with GPS and NFC

Your team can clock in and out using their smartphone with GPS verification or a physical NFC/RFID badge. The GPS feature includes geofencing, so you can set custom perimeters for each location, and it works even offline, syncing data when the connection returns. This anti-fraud system verifies location and timestamps, giving you real-time attendance data. It is perfect for teams on the move or those working across multiple sites.

Absence and Leave Management

Employees can request time off, sick days, or shift swaps directly from the mobile app, and you get instant push notifications. Approve or reject requests with a single tap, and everything is tracked and organized in a digital workflow. This eliminates the back-and-forth of emails and paper forms, ensuring you always have a clear view of who is available and who is out. It also helps you plan for coverage without last-minute scrambles.
