Why South Africa Needs Clocking Systems
Traditional methods—like manual punch cards and PIN codes—often fail to ensure accurate time tracking. Employees clock in for others, payroll becomes error-prone, and HR loses countless hours correcting mistakes. Clocking systems using biometric technology fix these problems instantly. Employers gain precise, secure attendance data—every time.
Real Success: Cape Town Retailer Stops Time Fraud
A large retail chain in Cape Town battled time theft and buddy-punching. Staff used PIN codes illegally, and HR spent hours resolving pay disputes.
They switched to Time & Attendance Solutions’ biometric systems. Employees now clock in with fingerprint or facial scanners. Data updates instantly in the cloud and links directly to payroll. Time theft vanished. Payroll accuracy soared. HR regained lost productivity.
“Invest once—no ongoing fees. Fast setup. Real results.”
