What problems does time attendance software solve in the UAE?

Buddy punching, manual errors, MOHRE compliance gaps, and slow payroll — replaced by verified biometric records.

Does it support rotating and night shifts?

Yes — complex shift patterns, overtime rules, and Ramadan hour adjustments are configurable.

Can field employees clock in remotely?

GPS-enabled mobile check-in with geofencing and approval workflows for off-site teams.

Will it reduce payroll mistakes?

Automated calculations from verified punches eliminate the manual errors that cause disputes.

How does biometric attendance stop buddy punching?

Face, fingerprint, or palm verification ties each event to a unique identity — impersonation fails at the device.
