Introduction
As a software company headquartered in the UK, we take pride in offering an advanced App
that tracks the working hours of employees and contractors. Our App logs their working
hours from the moment they switch on until they switch off. If an individual forgets to log
out, the App automatically signs them out at midnight. The information on employee hours
clocked is stored on our portal and the employer has full access to it.
1st March 2023
Furthermore, we are thrilled to announce that we will soon be implementing a facial
recognition feature which will provide an additional layer of security and provide an
alternative way of clocking hours worked if an employee forgets to bring their phone with
them to work. We are committed to providing top-notch services to our clients and ensuring
that workplaces realize their optimal productivity levels.
