Site safety and security built in

Syncro Connect goes beyond time and attendance with three site safety and security modules. Each combines the Syncro app with full management software, so the people on site and the records behind them stay connected.

Fire roll call

Account for everyone the moment the alarm sounds, then prove your evacuation was handled properly afterwards.

In the app

Fire marshals open the app as the alarm sounds and work through the live list, marking each person safe as they respond. Everyone moves from unaccounted for to safe in real time, and anyone who has not responded can be called directly from the app.

In the software

Every roll call is recorded, tracking evacuation performance over time, how long each roll call took, and an accuracy percentage, building a clear safety history you can rely on.

Explore fire roll call

Visitor management

Know exactly who is on site, give visitors a smooth arrival, and keep a complete record of every sign in.

In the app

Visitors can be pre-registered before they arrive and check in by scanning a QR code, or sign themselves in at a self service tablet kiosk and answer any bespoke questions you have set. A visitor label is printed on arrival, and the host is notified instantly with a push notification through the Syncro app.

In the software

Full reporting shows who is on site at any moment, with manual sign in and sign out so staff can add visitors directly when needed.

Explore visitor management

Access control

Control who comes through your doors using the same credentials staff already clock in with.

At the door

Staff present a card, fob, fingerprint or face at the reader, and the panel decides whether to release the door based on who they are, which door it is and what time it is. No keys to cut and no codes to share.

In the software

Set access rules per person and per door, so contractors get weekday daytime access and managers get any time. Every entry is recorded against a named person, so you can answer who was in a restricted area and when.

Every minute counts

Absence and lost working time cost UK employers billions

Sickness, unrecorded hours and time at work that is not productive all add up. Across the UK the cost runs into billions of pounds a year. The first step to controlling any of it is knowing exactly who is in, when they started, and how much absence you are actually carrying.

Syncro Connect records every clock in and clock out to the minute, with GPS verification on the mobile app, so hours worked are captured accurately rather than estimated. Absence management is built in, with Bradford Factor scoring and live entitlement balances, so you can see the pattern of absence you are carrying rather than finding out at year end.

Cloud software from a company that answers the phone

Plenty of cloud workforce platforms will sign you up in five minutes and leave you to configure it. We build your database around your shift patterns, rounding rules and pay rates before you go live, then stay on the end of the phone afterwards.

Syncro Connect is written and supported by our own team in Leeds, with no minimum headcount and room to scale to 5,000 employees. It cuts payroll admin, ends inflated hours with GPS verification, and helps you stay compliant with UK working time regulations.

Approved hours export ready for Sage, Pegasus and QuickBooks, so nothing is re-keyed by hand.

What our customers say

We are really pleased with our Computime solution. Introducing this system means that payroll is now processed accurately and efficiently, helping to boost morale both for our head office staff and our field teams. Real time data means we know where our employees are, allowing us to operate more efficiently.

Read case study

We are very pleased with the smooth implementation. Computime worked very hard to make sure installation was completed within the time frame and with minimum disruption. The in-depth training allowed us to focus on production and keeping our employees safe at work while ensuring efficiency.

Clare Barker
HR Manager, Wholebake Limited
Read case study

I was tasked with sourcing a computerised time and attendance solution to replace our manual clocking system. The Computime website contained all the information I needed, making the decision straightforward. The software proved easy to use and the helpdesk was very helpful and friendly. Computime have exceeded all of our expectations and objectives. I would definitely recommend them.

Syncro Connect FAQs

The questions we get asked most about the cloud system. If yours is not here, call the Leeds team on 0113 350 9043.

What does Syncro Connect cost?
£2 per employee per month, or £3 with the GPS mobile app, plus VAT. A 50 person business on the app pays £150 a month. Billing is annual as standard with monthly payments available, and there are no setup fees. Fire roll call is £395 a year and visitor management £495 a year, both flat regardless of headcount, and access control is quoted to your site. Full detail is on our pricing page.
How quickly can we go live?
Days rather than weeks. There is nothing to install, so once we have built your database around your staff, shift patterns and pay rules, you can start clocking. If you have ordered a terminal it arrives already configured. You can also sign up for a free trial and see your first clocking within minutes, without speaking to anyone.
Where is our data stored?
In UK data centres, with access logged and restricted to named users. That matters if you are subject to UK GDPR and would rather your workforce data did not leave the country. Our data security page sets out hosting, access, retention and compliance in full.
Do staff need work phones to use the app?
No. The Syncro app runs on personal iOS and Android phones, which is how most of our customers use it. If some staff would rather not use their own phone, or do not carry one at work, they can clock in from a web browser or from a wall mounted terminal instead, all feeding the same system.
What happens if there is no phone signal on site?
The app stores the clocking on the phone and uploads it automatically when signal returns, so nothing is lost and nobody has to remember to do anything. Clocking terminals hold their data locally too, so a dropped connection does not stop people clocking in or out.
Does GPS track staff all day?
No. GPS location is recorded at the moment someone clocks in or out, not continuously between those points. It confirms a clocking happened where it was supposed to, rather than following anyone around. Worth being clear about with staff, since location data is personal data under UK GDPR and continuous tracking would need a much stronger justification.
Can it handle our shift patterns and overtime rules?
Yes, and we configure it for you rather than handing you a blank system. Rotating shifts, split shifts, night rates, rounding rules, break deductions, overtime thresholds and multi-site rules are all normal for us. If your rules change later, the system changes with them.
Does it work with our payroll software?
Syncro Connect exports approved hours as a standard file ready for Sage, Pegasus and QuickBooks, so nothing is re-keyed by hand. If you need a direct integration with Sage Payroll rather than an export, that is a Realtime feature. Tell us which payroll you run and we will confirm what the export looks like before you commit.
Should we choose Syncro Connect or Realtime?
Syncro Connect if you want cloud software running in days with mobile clocking for field and remote teams, which is what most new customers choose. Realtime if you need the broadest feature set, including HR and document management, job costing, banked hours and direct Sage Payroll integration. Both cover time, attendance, absence, access control and site safety to the same standard. Our side by side comparison sets out the full difference.
Can we try it before committing?
Yes. The free trial needs no card and no commitment, and gives you full access to the software, the mobile app and absence management. If you have complicated shift rules, a demo is usually more useful, because we can show the system handling your situation rather than a generic example.
