KEY FEATURES
Mobile and tablet clock-in
GPS and geo-fenced site validation
Attendance exceptions and overtime visibility
Facial recognition
Shift and working-hours management
Payroll-ready attendance information
Employees clock in, request leave, acknowledge policies, complete tasks or complete required actions.
Activity is captured against the relevant employee and workflow.
Exceptions, approvals and outstanding actions are surfaced for review.
Actions, approvals and supporting information remain available for reporting, accountability and follow-up.
AI, on your side
Software that thinks, so you don't have to dig.
Most workforce platforms hand you a wall of data and call it insight. Connect uses AI to identify patterns and highlight what needs attention — helping managers see what matters without digging through reports and spreadsheets.
Interprets the data & highlights what matters
Connect helps analyse workforce information, identify patterns and bring important exceptions to management’s attention.
Supports everyday management workflows
AI-supported tools help reduce repetitive administration, summarise information and assist managers through employee-management processes.
People Remain in Control
Connect’s AI supports managers with information and guidance — while human judgement, review and approval remain part of the process.
EXAMPLE AI INSIGHT
