Attendance systems for Media City businesses

Dubai Media City is TECOM's media-industry free zone: regional broadcasters, marketing agencies, PR consultancies, ad-tech vendors and content studios. Staff are creative, senior, and expect a light-touch attendance policy that captures the record without micromanaging. We size the solution to what actually happens on the ground: the tenant mix, the shift patterns, the building constraints and the free-zone or audit rules that apply. No one-size bundle for a zone this specific.

What we deliver across Media City

Every service delivered locally by our team, no subcontractors.

Biometric terminals supplied and installed

Suprema and ZKTeco fingerprint, face and palm terminals installed at your Media City office, warehouse or site. Free site survey covers cabling, mounting and headcount.

Time attendance software

Cloud or on-premise, with shift rules, overtime, WPS-ready payroll export and multi-branch consolidation.

WPS-ready payroll export

Worked hours, overtime and absences in a format your payroll and WPS SIF process consumes. We test the export against a live payroll run at handover.

Access control on the same terminal

Attendance and door-open in a single tap. Split access for executives, server rooms and stock rooms.

Multi-branch consolidation

Terminals across Media City and the rest of Dubai reporting into one central database. Head office sees everything; each branch manager sees only their team.

Fast local support

Support engineers based in Dubai. Remote response within 2 working hours; on-site engineers dispatched to Media City the same day.

Typical Media City businesses we serve

Examples we run into every week, with the setup we typically propose.

Regional broadcasters and networks

24/7 news floors on three-shift patterns; production crews on split shifts. Face terminals in staff-only corridors keep on-air spaces uninterrupted.

Marketing, ad and PR agencies

20 to 150 staff, hybrid teams. Attendance policy encoded once, remote days and in-office days count correctly against contract hours.

Ad-tech and MarTech vendors

Engineering-heavy teams on flexible hours. SSO into Google Workspace or Microsoft 365; attendance events stream to your data warehouse.

Production houses and post-production

Project-based crews: enrolment expires at contract end; per-project cost allocation for billable client work.

Freelance and coworking suites

Per-tenant enrolment on one shared terminal; landlord runs one contract; each freelancer or startup sees only their own record.

PR event teams and roving crews

Field crews clock in at each venue via the mobile app with GPS. Central payroll consolidates in-office and on-location hours.

Media City attendance system questions

Do you support hybrid remote-and-office policies?

Yes. Encode remote days and in-office days as distinct rules. Remote hours log via the mobile app or web; in-office via terminal. Both count correctly against contracted hours.

Can we handle freelance and short-contract crews?

Yes. Time-boxed enrolment with automatic expiry on contract end. No manual deactivation. Records still reconcile to the primary employer's payroll or the client's project code.

Do the terminals suit open-plan creative offices?

Yes. Silent face terminals with no audible chime, mounted in the reception corridor. Enrolment takes under 2 seconds; nobody breaks flow to clock in.

Is the export WPS-compliant?

Yes. The software exports worked hours, overtime and absences in a format your payroll and WPS SIF process consumes. We test the export against a live payroll run at handover, before the team leaves.

Which hardware brands do you supply?

We are an authorised supplier for Suprema (South Korea) and ZKTeco (China). Suprema is our default for enterprise and regulated environments; ZKTeco for cost-sensitive and volume rollouts.
