Explore the platformAccurate time capture starts at the clock
Inaccurate timesheets, buddy punching and manual data entry create real risk – for compliance, for your people, and for your payroll team. When time capture is not reliable, everything downstream is harder.
biotime delivers a comprehensive workforce time and attendance solution through two things that work together: robust biometric time clock hardware on the floor, and a seamless API integration that moves that data directly into Affinity. Attendance data flows securely and reliably, reducing manual intervention, minimising errors, and improving operational efficiency across your business.
As a specialist time and attendance provider, not a generalist HR platform, every feature and every piece of hardware is focused on one thing: getting accurate attendance data into your payroll without the friction.
