New: HelloTime now integrates with HelloBooks — sync clients, hours, invoices and payroll.

Manufacturing & factories

Attendance for manufacturing and factory floors.

Face-recognition clock-in, shift-aware OT calculation and kiosk mode on a single tablet per gate — built for 2-shift and 3-shift floors with payroll auto-flowing through HelloBooks.

Contract labour on the floor is onboarded as ContractWorkers, separate from Employee — WhatsApp self-onboarding, no payroll seat cost per shift worker. See the contract workforce solution →

The pain

  • Buddy-punching with biometric fingerprint readers — and COVID killed shared scanners
  • Manual OT calculations across rotating shifts cost hours every payroll run
  • Contract workforce sits outside the payroll system entirely

How HelloTime fixes it

  • Anti-spoof face recognition on a ₹15k Android tablet at each gate (kiosk mode)
  • Pre-baked 2-shift / 3-shift policy presets — OT, grace, late-mark, half-day done
  • Contract workers onboard via WhatsApp link without a payroll seat cost

Working with vendor-tagged contract staff? Read the ContractWorker entity overview — how onboarding, KYC, face enrollment and document expiry are handled without a payroll seat.
