F · People, Attendance & Workforce
Who came, who approved, who did what.
Attendance from the cameras at the door, payroll from the same record, a login and an approval limit for each person, and every decision logged.
01 · The problem
Attendance is argued over at month end, payroll is rebuilt in a spreadsheet, and shared passwords mean nobody knows who approved what.
Policy changes are announced in a group chat and never confirmed as read.
Who it is for: HR heads, principals, branch managers and finance.
02 · How it works
