Biometric-ready shift management for a large field workforce — exceptions handled in the same system that runs payroll.
Attendance management for a facility management operation is not the same problem as attendance management for an office workforce. An FM operator runs multiple shifts across hundreds of buildings. Technicians start and end work at job sites, not at a central office. Shift patterns change based on contract requirements and seasonal demand. Overtime is not the exception — for a business running 150,000 work orders a month, overtime is a routine operational variable. Most HR systems model the office attendance pattern and treat field operations as a customisation challenge. The result is a gap that gets filled with manual processes: shift supervisors submitting daily registers by WhatsApp, overtime approved verbally and entered into a spreadsheet at month-end, biometric data sitting in a separate access-control system that the HR platform cannot read. Payroll closes with estimates because the actual attendance data isn't available in time. Coreziyo's Attendance module is designed for the FM shift workforce. Biometric integration captures field clock-in data at the site level. Shift rosters are managed and published from the same system that runs payroll. Overtime is approved in a structured workflow, not over email. Exceptions — late arrivals, missed punches, early departures — are flagged automatically and resolved in the same system before the payroll run closes.
Attendance at scale is an operational data problem, not an HR administration problem. When 3,900 people start and end shifts across 1,000 buildings, the attendance record is not a form to be filled in — it is a continuous stream of operational events that the payroll system, the scheduling system, and the operations management system all need to read from the same source.
Coreziyo’s Attendance module captures that stream at the point of occurrence — the biometric device, the shift record, the supervisor approval. By the time the payroll run opens, attendance is not a data-gathering exercise. It is a confirmed record that feeds payroll calculations, drives overtime accruals, and posts labour cost to the correct cost centre without any manual intervention.
For GCC FM operators managing large field workforces across multi-site operations, this is the difference between payroll that closes on time and payroll that closes a week late every month.
What you actually get
Biometric integration
Clock-in and clock-out data captured from biometric devices at site level. Multi-site, multi-building integration supported — a technician's attendance record updates in real time regardless of which building they're working in that day.
Shift scheduling and roster management
Shift patterns — morning, afternoon, night, rotating — configured per employee, per team, or per building. Rosters published in advance; changes tracked and timestamped. Technician shift history is always on record.
Overtime calculation and approval
Overtime hours calculated automatically from the difference between scheduled and actual hours. Approval workflow routes exceptions to the line manager before the hours feed into payroll. No manual overtime claims, no end-of-month reconciliation.
Exception handling
Late arrivals, early departures, absent days, and missed biometric punches are flagged automatically as exceptions. Supervisors resolve exceptions with a reason code before the payroll cut-off — not discovered during the payroll run.
Direct payroll feed
Approved attendance data — regular hours, overtime, absent days, leave taken — flows directly into the payroll engine without any export or manual import step. The payroll run starts from clean, approved data.
How it shows up in real operations
Running 3,900+ technicians and ops staff across 1,000+ buildings means managing attendance at a scale where manual processes fail by definition. A daily register submitted by email from each site cannot be processed in time to close payroll on schedule. Overtime that isn't captured in a structured system until month-end cannot be verified accurately. Coreziyo processes biometric clock-in data from all sites continuously. Exceptions are flagged the same day they occur — a missed punch at a building is visible to the supervisor within hours, not at payroll cut-off. The shift schedule is published two weeks ahead, updated in real time when assignments change, and directly readable by the work order scheduling system. When payroll opens, the attendance data is already there, already approved, already calculated.
