Smarter Time Management Starts Here
Managing time and attendance has never been more important — or more challenging. Missed clock-ins, messy paper trails, and delayed approvals all cost businesses time, money, and compliance headaches.
Chronicle’s smartphone clocking app solves these issues by putting a powerful workforce tool directly into your employees’ hands. From clocking in securely to accessing payslips, it delivers everything staff need in one simple app — wherever they work.
Time & Attendance
- Clock in or out with secure GPS location tracking
- Facial recognition for accurate, fraud-free clocking
- Start or end breaks with one tap
- Offline clocking — works even with no data connection
Example: A warehouse employee clocks out for lunch using facial recognition. The system automatically records the break time and updates their timesheet in real time.
Work & Cost Control
- Change cost centre or activity on the go
- Record incidents directly from the app
- Send a note or update to managers instantly
Example: A field engineer switches project cost centre mid-shift with one tap, ensuring costs are tracked correctly without paperwork.
Employee Self-Service
- View personal timesheet
- View holiday, sick leave, and absence entitlements
- Request or cancel holiday requests
- View roster and upcoming shifts
- Access payslips and P60s
Example: An employee checks their holiday balance and submits a request while commuting, saving HR a flood of emails.
Communication & Engagement
- View company announcements
- Answer set company questions
- View and update personal details
- Upload important documents
- Access notes from managers or HR
Example: HR publishes a company-wide update. Staff receive it instantly on their phones, ensuring no one misses key communications.
