Centralised Control, Local Flexibility

Organisations managing multiple locations need centralised visibility with distributed control. Whether you're a corporate headquarters with regional offices, an FM provider managing client portfolios, or a public sector body with buildings across a borough, Synel delivers the unified platform you need.

Cross-Site Working Time Compliance

When employees work across multiple sites, tracking Working Time Regulations compliance becomes complex. Synel aggregates hours across all locations automatically, alerting you when employees approach the 48-hour weekly limit regardless of which sites they've worked at.

Martyn's Law Compliance

The Terrorism Protection of Premises Act 2025 requires venues to have protective security measures. Standard tier (200-799 capacity) requires documented evacuation and lockdown procedures. Enhanced tier (800+) requires access control and SIA compliance. Synel provides real-time headcount, emergency mustering and the audit trails needed for compliance across your entire estate.

Contractor and Visitor Management

Central register of approved contractors with certifications and insurance validated once and valid across all sites. Automatic alerts when documentation expires. Visitor pre-registration with watchlist checking shared across your portfolio.

Emergency Response Coordination

When an incident occurs at one site, HQ can monitor in real-time. Fire marshals mark individuals safe via mobile app, with a central dashboard showing evacuation status across all muster points. If incidents affect multiple sites, coordinate response from a single platform.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Synel available as cloud or on-premise?

Both. You can choose SaaS (cloud-hosted) for easy scalability, automatic updates and reduced hardware costs. This is particularly useful for multi-site organisations.

Alternatively, choose on-premise installation if your organisation requires local server control and data sovereignty.

Both options provide the same functionality. The choice depends on your IT infrastructure preferences and policies.

Do clocking terminals work if the internet goes down?

Yes. Synel's data capture devices feature offline mode. If network connectivity is lost, terminals continue to verify users and store clocking data locally using their built-in memory.

Once connection is restored, data automatically uploads to the central server. No records are lost.

Devices also include battery backup to maintain operation during power outages, typically for up to two hours.

What payroll systems does Synel integrate with?

Synel integrates with major UK payroll and HR systems including Sage, SAP, Oracle, Iris, Cascade, Pegasus and ADP.

Our open architecture allows integration with virtually any system that can accept data imports or has an API. The system exports approved hours directly to these platforms, reducing administrative time and eliminating manual data entry.

How long does implementation take?

Implementation timelines vary by project scope.

A single-site time and attendance deployment typically takes 2-4 weeks from survey to go-live. Multi-site or integrated access control projects may take 6-12 weeks.

Synel provides dedicated project management and on-site installation by our own engineers, not subcontractors.

Do you provide on-site support?

Yes. Unlike many competitors who rely on third-party installers, Synel employs our own team of engineers across the UK.

We handle installation, training and ongoing support directly. This means faster response times, consistent quality and engineers who know your system inside out.
