What Is a Cloud Attendance Management System?
A cloud attendance management system is software that records when employees start and finish work - from a phone, the web, or a biometric device - and turns that record into shift schedules, overtime, leave balances, and payroll-ready data, stored securely online instead of on a machine at the door.
Synktime is a cloud attendance management system in UAE built for the way GCC teams actually work. Staff check in by GPS or a face-verified selfie from the mobile app, or on existing biometric hardware such as ZKTeco, and every check-in syncs live to one dashboard - with the interface and alerts available in Arabic and English across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman.

Three Ways Synktime Cuts the Manual Work Out of Attendance
- Track
- Attendance is captured the moment it happens - from a phone check-in, GPS location, or a connected biometric device - and shows up on the dashboard instantly. No end-of-day tallying, no waiting for someone to bring in a register.
- Assign
- Shift rules, once set, apply themselves. Rotating patterns, 24×7 coverage, and project-based assignments for large crews run automatically, without a manager rebuilding the schedule every week.
- Report
- Attendance, overtime, and leave data turn into ready reports without anyone pulling them manually, and flow straight into the payroll or ERP system already in use.
Attendance Without Buying a Single Machine
Most attendance systems start with a hardware order. Synktime doesn't require one. Employees mark attendance directly from the Synktime mobile app - a GPS-tagged check-in or a selfie scan is enough to log an accurate, verifiable record. There's nothing to install at the entrance, no device to maintain, and no per-location hardware cost for a business opening a new branch.
- Check in and out from a phone - no device purchase required
- GPS-tagged attendance for field staff, sales teams, and site workers
- Selfie-based face verification built into the app
- Works the same way across every branch, with nothing to physically install
Already Have Biometric Devices? Connect Them Instead
For teams that already run fingerprint scanners, face recognition units, or card readers, Synktime connects to them directly and keeps them in sync with the cloud dashboard, including ZKTeco cloud-enabled devices. It's an option, not a requirement - pick mobile, biometric, or both, per location
- Compatible with leading biometric brands, including ZKTeco
- Real-time sync from device to dashboard
- Unlimited device locations under one account
- Offline mode - devices store data locally and sync once the connection returns
Shifts That Assign Themselves
Built for teams running large, rotating crews - construction contractors, factories, and labour suppliers assign shifts automatically based on who's available and where they are needed, instead of building schedules by hand every week.
- 24×7 shift scheduling for round-the-clock operations
- Weekly, monthly, or custom rotation patterns
- Track which employee is assigned to which project
- Overtime calculated and flagged automatically
Your Payroll System Already Works. Just Feed It Real Data.
Synktime connects to SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, Oracle, Connect HR, and Zoho, so attendance hours move into payroll without anyone re-entering them. Overtime, deductions, and shift differentials calculate from the same record used for scheduling - not a separate spreadsheet someone reconciles by hand.
