Which processes can T&A track?
A Time & Attendance system (T&A) helps assess employees’ clock-in and clock-out events against their work schedules. Consistent records make it easier for human resources to review attendance and prepare information for timesheets. HERO is the software solution offered for workforce tracking, shifts, leave and reporting.
- Reviewing clock-in and clock-out records by employee and date
- Comparing shift schedules with actual attendance
- Tracking leave and absence alongside working arrangements
How does a personnel tracking system work?
Entry and exit events are recorded through the selected reader or application. Records are reviewed alongside employee, date and shift information. Missing events and deviations from the work schedule are checked before preparing information for timesheets.
What is the difference between Time & Attendance and access control?
Time & Attendance focuses on reviewing working Time & Attendance records. Access control manages who may pass through a door and when. Both needs can be addressed in the same project, with devices, permissions and software scope planned accordingly.
What should you consider when choosing a Time & Attendance system?
A business with one entrance has different needs from a business with multiple branches and shifts. Rather than choosing only by reader model, consider daily workflows and reporting requirements together.
- Employee numbers, locations and shift schedules
- Requirements for cards, biometric readers or mobile use
- Timesheet reports, leave workflows and user permissions
- Existing devices and any data exchange with payroll software
What do we consider for your project?
Employee numbers, branch structure, working rules and access devices should be established at the outset. If data exchange with existing payroll or HR software is needed, the scope and data format are assessed separately.

Frequently asked questions
What affects the cost of a Time & Attendance system?
Software scope, employee and location numbers, reader requirements, installation and integrations determine the proposal scope. Sharing your existing infrastructure and required reports helps us prepare a proposal suited to your needs.
Can it be used with our existing devices?
Compatibility depends on the device make, model, connection method and software interface. Share your existing device list to clarify the integration scope.
What information should I share for a quotation?
Sharing the setting, number of users or access points and existing infrastructure helps the initial assessment. You can also include device models and project drawings, if available.
What should you ask when comparing Time & Attendance providers?
When choosing an employee tracking system, comparing device prices alone is not enough. Use a demonstration to review shift and leave rules, data exchange with existing readers and the information included in reports. Ask for installation, user training and support to be listed separately in the proposal.
What determines the cost of a Time & Attendance system?
Employee numbers, branches, entry points, authentication methods and software scope are the main inputs for a proposal. Existing device compatibility and payroll integration requirements are also reviewed. Share these details to request a proposal suited to your business.
Plan employee tracking alongside access control
If you plan to collect entry records from turnstiles or door readers, check device and software compatibility at the start of the project. Consider mobile usage and physical access options within the same requirements list.
