Singapore's economy doubled its growth pace in 2024 — and analysts expect this momentum to continue through 2025, with businesses in wholesale trade, manufacturing, construction and engineering, and finance driving rapid hiring and operational expansion. But while these companies scale their teams and open new locations, many of them still rely on outdated attendance tracking and struggle with payroll errors, absenteeism, and compliance gaps as a consequence.
If your business is growing, you need better tools to manage HR, especially a time attendance software solution, which is foundational for tracking employee hours accurately. But how do you choose the best software? Here are the key features to look for:
Built-in GPS and geolocation tools
Do you want to ensure that employees can only clock in from approved locations? Choose a time attendance software that supports GPS tracking, QR code scanning, and geofencing to verify attendance accurately and reduce time fraud. It should detect fake GPS apps by enabling GPS alongside QR code scans at designated facilities, ensuring that users can't fake their location when marking attendance.
Advanced selfie and face ID capabilities
Look for time attendance software with facial recognition and selfie-based check-ins to protect employee data while allowing seamless, contactless attendance—even in remote or multi-site environments. The best systems integrate with biometric devices, using face recognition and other advanced biometrics to enable real-time syncing with attendance records for instant updates.
Automatic calculations that connect with payroll
Select a solution that automatically calculates overtime, leave balances, public holidays, and off-days, and then accurately integrates this data with your payroll system. This reduces admin errors and helps ensure that your employees receive accurate compensation without delays.Smart scheduling and rostering
Make sure that the time attendance software supports flexible scheduling. It should let you build and adjust multiple shift types, configure overtime rules for different teams, and send automated reminders about schedule changes so your operations run smoothly.
Custom rules for your operations
Pick a system that allows you to set your own attendance rules — whether that's grace periods, deductions for late arrivals, or multiple overtime structures. Your software should adapt to your company's workflows, not the other way around.
Reports you can generate instantly
Use a platform that lets you create reports with a single click. You should be able to generate attendance summaries, overtime reports, and detailed timesheets in real time without needing to pull data manually.
If you're still relying on spreadsheets or fragmented systems, you're wasting time and leaving plenty of room for expensive errors.
