Attendance for retail
Attendance and shift coverage for every store.
Store managers organise their own shifts, head office sees attendance across the chain, and employees can cover another branch without a second record or a separate timesheet.
At a glance
- By store
- Attendance and coverage for every branch.
- At opening time
- Late arrivals and uncovered roles appear immediately.
- Across the chain
- Employees can work at another branch with one history.
Coverage that follows the trading day.
A retail schedule has to cover tills, sales, stockroom, deliveries and closing duties. The useful question is not only who clocked in, but whether each store has the people it needs now.
- 01
Store managers schedule their own teams
Each manager builds and publishes shifts for their branch while regional management can check coverage across the chain.
- 02
Open shifts are easier to fill
Replacement suggestions consider who is available, who can work at that branch, rest time and possible overtime.
- 03
Branch transfers do not create duplicate records
An employee covering another location clocks in there and the hours are assigned to the correct store.
- 04
Head office receives approved hours
Managers handle missing entries and exceptions locally before approved hours are consolidated for payroll.
A clear view from opening shift to store close.
Every change updates the employee and the store schedule before it affects the final hours.
- 01
Plan coverage by role
Schedule tills, sales, stockroom, deliveries and closing duties against the needs of each store.
- 02
Resolve gaps before the shift
Notify suitable employees, approve the replacement and update the published schedule once.
- 03
Watch attendance by branch
See who arrived, who is late and which scheduled role remains uncovered.
- 04
Approve at store level
The store manager reviews the exceptions they know before hours reach head office or payroll.
At a glance
A quick clock-in at every staff entrance.

- 03
Smartphone
An option for pop-up stores, stock counts and approved work away from the usual branch.
Questions from this industry
- Can an employee work at more than one branch?
- Yes. The employee keeps one profile and history, while each attendance record and scheduled shift belongs to the branch where the work occurred.
- Can store managers see only their own branch?
- Yes. Access can be limited by responsibility so a store manager schedules and approves their own team while regional management sees multiple stores.
- What happens if a store loses internet access?
- Terminals continue recording locally and synchronise when the connection returns. The original time of each record is preserved.
