Before this month's payroll is approved, you'll already know what it will say.
With the National Living Wage rising to £12.50 and NIC increases in April 2026, labour is your largest controllable expense. Stop waiting for month-end P&L reports to find out that overtime has spiked. Control your margins in real time, before payroll runs.
- Recover up to 2.5% of gross payroll annually
- Clean exports into Sage, SAP, Iris & Cascade
- One supplier: software, hardware, engineers
The 2.5% nobody put on the P&L.
Are you building headcount scenarios in Excel because you don't trust the overtime baseline? Imprecise timekeeping, early finishes, and buddy punching represent a significant, hidden leak in your largest cost line.
Organisations that implement Synergy with biometric verification typically save up to 2.5% of gross payroll annually. For a business with a £2m payroll, that's £50,000 a year, often enough to pay for the system in its first year.
- Biometric verification eliminates buddy punching
- Shift completion tracked to the minute, not the honour system
- Rounding, rules, and overtime calculated by machine, not memory
Eliminate the Friday Afternoon Tax.
Capturing when an employee clocks in is easy. Converting raw data into perfectly calculated, export-ready payroll is the hard part. Shift differentials, annualised hours, overtime thresholds applied correctly: that's where most teams lose Friday afternoons.
The Rules Engine
Your shift differentials, annualised hours, overtime thresholds, and union agreements are applied automatically. Raw clock data becomes perfectly calculated net-hours, before it reaches payroll.
Clean Data Exports
Calculated hours flow directly into Sage, SAP, Iris, Pegasus, and Cascade. No CSV massaging, no manual reconciliation, no end-of-period scramble.
Zero Reconciliation
Move payroll processing from a weekly calculation exercise to a simple review-and-approve workflow. Your team gets hours back; your data gets audit-ready.
Track the work, not just the clock.
In manufacturing and logistics, knowing a worker clocked in for an 8-hour shift only gives you half the picture. Synergy Projects bridges the gap between hours paid and hours productively allocated.
Move beyond "how long did they work" to "what did they work on". Allocate labour hours to specific production lines, tasks, or cost centres. Identify exactly where margin is leaking.
