Time & Attendance for Your Industry
No two businesses have the same operational requirements. We take a consultative approach — every Synergy T&A solution is customised to reflect your specific needs, whether you're a small factory or a large multi-site enterprise.
Synergy T&A scales from 50 to unlimited employees. Synergy T&A Lite gives smaller organisations the essentials — clock in/out, shift tracking, and break recording — whether staff work on-site, from home, or on the move.
Both solutions share the same intuitive dashboard and GUI as other Synergy modules including shift scheduling, time costing, expenses, cashless catering, and visitor management. Available as on-premises or cloud SaaS — accessible 24/7 from anywhere via a browser.
Access Control for Your Industry
Synergy Access is scalable and future-proof — from a single building with a few doors to hundreds of entrances across multiple sites. Designed to work with weather-proof and vandal-proof biometric and card hardware, operating 24/7 regardless of conditions.
Control exactly when and where employees, contractors, and visitors can go. Available on-premises or cloud-based, with real-time monitoring from anywhere. Includes ANPR support for automatic vehicle gate, bollard, and barrier control.
The Physical Layer for Your Existing Systems
We integrate with the UK's leading payroll, HR, and MIS platforms — acting as the physical data capture layer that feeds accurate, verified time and access data into your software.
