  • Real-time responsiveness keeps your service delivery agile — adapting instantly to changes in demand or urgent repair needs.

  • Field teams can instantly access job details, capture on-site data, and update progress in real time, enhancing both service quality and turnaround time.

Employees will be paid correctly

Paying workers accurately for time worked is complex. With 24/7 shifts, multiple allowances, diverse industrial awards, and a range of enterprise agreements, ensuring correct pay is an ongoing challenge. With new wage theft laws, there’s no room for error or complacency. Manual processes can no longer keep up — time validation and payroll accuracy must be a top priority.

Our solutions deliver accuracy, compliance, and transparency through:

  • An AI-powered engine automatically interprets awards and agreements. It can be tailored to reflect enterprise bargaining conditions, individual or role-based entitlements, site-specific rules, and all employee allowances.

  • Managers and supervisors can adjust time entries or claims with complete visibility and auditability. Every change is tracked, showing who made the claim, who reviewed it, and who approved it.

  • Fully compatible with HR and payroll platforms such as Oracle, ADP, Workday, and SAP. Through our open API, we can integrate with most payroll systems on the market.
