What is Time & Attendance Integration
Time & Attendance integration is the seamless synchronization between physical access hardware and Human Resources Management Systems (HRMS).
Instead of manual logbooks or isolated “islands” of data, our solution connects entry-point events directly to payroll and scheduling software via digital records or APIs.
