Our story

Computime has been helping UK businesses manage their people for 30+ years since 1989. We started out supplying and maintaining mechanical clocking machines, and over three decades we have grown alongside the businesses we serve, moving with every change in the way Britain works.

We are an independent, family-run business based in Leeds, and we still believe in doing things properly. When you call us, you speak to a real person on our team, not an overseas call centre or a chatbot. That personal, straightforward support is a big part of why so many of our customers have stayed with us for years.

Today our systems range from biometric terminals and access control to full cloud software with a GPS mobile app. Whether a customer needs a simple way to record hours or a complete time and attendance and workforce management platform, we build and support it ourselves, here in the UK.

Everything we have learned over the years now lives in Syncro Connect, our modern platform, and in Realtime, our established system for larger workforces.

A family-owned Leeds business

Computime is family-owned and based in Leeds. The team that builds and supports our systems is the same team that answers the phone, so when you call you speak to someone who knows the product inside out, not an overseas call centre.

It is a big part of why customers stay with us for years. We build long-term relationships, and we are still here to help long after the system goes live.
