Group operations

One attendance system across every branch, one payroll cycle

Every branch terminal reports into one central database. Head office sees consolidated attendance and payroll live; each branch manager sees only their own team. One WPS export per cycle covers every outlet.

  • Live consolidation across every branch
  • Per-branch dashboards, per-role permissions
  • One WPS SIF for every outlet
  • Move an employee between branches in one click

The multi-branch problem

UAE retail chains, F&B groups, healthcare networks and franchise operators run staff across many outlets, often in more than one emirate. Traditional attendance means one system per outlet, each with its own payroll export, each reconciled by hand at head office. Errors compound; WPS submissions get delayed; visibility is a weekly spreadsheet. A properly configured multi-branch attendance system closes the loop: one source of truth, live per-branch dashboards, one WPS export.

How Timesync handles multi-branch

One central database, per-branch scoping, one WPS cycle.

Live consolidation from every terminal

Every branch terminal reports to the central database within seconds of a punch. Head office sees consolidated attendance and payroll live.

Per-branch dashboards and permissions

Each branch manager sees only their own team. Regional managers see their region. Head office sees everything. Permissions are role-based, not per-user configuration.

One consolidated WPS export

One SIF file per pay cycle covers every outlet. No per-branch reconciliation, no manual merging in Excel.

Cross-branch employee transfers

Move an employee from one branch to another in one click. Attendance follows the employee; historical records segment cleanly per branch.

Per-branch and per-region cost centres

Each branch and each region carries a cost centre. Reports sum by branch, region, or company. Finance sees exactly what each location cost in labour.

Multi-emirate consolidation

Branches in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and elsewhere all report to one central database. One WPS export regardless of emirate mix.

Multi-branch attendance questions

How many branches can one central database handle?

Cloud deployment scales to 1,000+ branches out of the box. On-premise deployments have handled 500+ branches for enterprise customers with no performance impact.

What happens when a branch's internet drops?

Terminals cache locally with 100,000-record capacity. Records sync automatically when connectivity returns; no attendance is lost. Reports catch up within seconds.

Can we run different shift patterns per branch?

Yes. Shift patterns are configured per branch (or per role within a branch). Mall trading hours in one outlet, standard office hours in another, three-shift patterns in a warehouse; all coexist in one system.

Can regional managers see their region without seeing everyone?

Yes. Permissions are role-based: branch managers see their branch, regional managers see their region, head office sees everything. Configured once, applies across all branches.

How does an employee transfer work between branches?

One click in the admin dashboard. Attendance follows the employee to the new branch; historical records segment cleanly per branch for prior-branch analysis.

Do you support multi-tenant operators (franchisor + franchisees)?

Yes. Franchisor sees consolidated data across every franchisee; each franchisee sees only their own outlets. Data isolation is enforced at the database level.
