Attendance and time tracking
Track attendance with live visibility your payroll team can trust
When clock data lives in separate systems and managers chase exceptions by hand, overtime stacks up and payroll takes longer. Alphanomic connects live attendance, automated overtime rules, and multi-site visibility to the rotas your team already runs.

The attendance problem
When clock data is disconnected, hours get disputed
Most attendance pain is not collecting the first punch. It is reconciling exceptions, overtime, and rota mismatches before payroll.
Clock data in multiple places
Spreadsheets, paper sheets, and separate apps mean managers rebuild attendance records every week.
Exceptions chased by message
Late arrivals, missed punches, and corrections scatter across chat and email instead of one approval queue.
Scheduled vs actual discovered late
Overtime and missing hours surface after shifts end, when payroll and labour reports are already under pressure.
