Solutions
What we do
Time & Attendance
Accurate time capture, automated overtime, and payroll-ready data.
We record attendance the right way for your environment, apply your pay rules automatically, and export clean data straight to payroll. No spreadsheets, no re-keying, no Friday panic.
Access Control
Know who's on site, control who gets in, and prove it afterwards.
Manage doors, turnstiles, visitors, and biometrics from one platform, with real-time visibility, audit trails, and built-in support for safeguarding, compliance, and emergency response.
Workforce Management
Everything connected, nothing duplicated.
Expenses, documents, job costing, scheduling, and mobile working all tied to the same workforce record, so data flows once and stays consistent across operations, HR, and finance.
Emergency Mustering
Instant roll call when it matters most.
See exactly who is on site during an evacuation or lockdown, from any device, with live data pulled from access and attendance systems, not paper lists or guesswork.
One supplier. From the reader on the wall to the export into Sage.
Most workforce management fails in the gap between three vendors: the cloud software, the hardware, and the engineers who fit and commission it. We close the gap by owning all three.
- Cloud software vendor
- Separate hardware manufacturer
- Third-party installer
- Separate break-fix contractor
- Own cloud platform and API
- Own UK-manufactured terminals
- Own UK engineers for install and commission
- Own in-house support team

Trusted across every sector
From schools to factories, hear why organisations rely on Synel.
The College saved time without the need for manual registration, encouraged students to take responsibility, and provided an accurate account of students. EduReg helps fight truancy while providing accurate information.
We highly value having access to a dedicated Account Manager who we can speak to if we have any queries. This gives us peace of mind in knowing that we do not have to join a queue, as is often the case with other suppliers, to speak to someone at a central call centre, who may not be familiar with our way of working.
Great system, easy to create reports and get accurate information on time and attendance and job costs. Knowledgeable customer support and excellent advice.
Ensuring full compliance with government legislation and the health, safety and welfare of our pupils is our top priority. This is why we chose the Synel EduReg system which was the best biometric solution available.
We selected Schedule Master as our preferred scheduling and time & attendance solution, and since implementation have been very pleased with the system's performance. It has saved us a great deal of time and I would have no hesitation in recommending both Schedule Master as a system you can work with and Synel as an excellent company to do business with.
Synel are an excellent partner, very easy to work with, great service.
