Singapore's Time Attendance System —
Face Recognition, GPS, and Live Payroll Sync.
TimeCentral tracks clock-ins, enforces MOM overtime rules, and syncs attendance data to payroll automatically — for 1,000+ Singapore companies.
Why Singapore companies replace manual timesheets with a time attendance system
Most Singapore companies are still managing attendance the hard way. There's a better path.
Manual attendance tracking
TimeCentral time attendance system
Set up your time attendance system in one afternoon — no IT project
Three steps and your whole team is tracking attendance — no IT project required.
Add your team
Import employees from PeopleCentral HRMS in one click, or bulk-upload a CSV. Departments, shifts, and geo-fence zones are configured in minutes.
Employees download the app
iOS and Android. Staff log in once and are immediately ready to clock in via selfie, QR, or biometric — no IT setup required.
Track in real time
Every clock-in and clock-out hits your live dashboard instantly. Payroll data updates automatically — no re-entry at month end.
Face Recognition Attendance System — no hardware required
Employees clock in using their face from any smartphone camera. Liveness detection prevents photo spoofing. No hardware required — just the TimeCentral mobile app on iOS or Android.
Every recognition event is timestamped and logged with a confidence score, giving managers a full photo audit trail without any additional hardware investment.
- Face recognition via iOS & Android camera
- Liveness detection (anti-spoofing)
- Works without any hardware kiosk
- Timestamped photo log for every clock event
- Confidence scoring with flagging for low-match

GPS Employee Tracking — geo-fenced clock-in for multi-site companies
Define virtual boundaries around your worksite. Employees can only clock in when they are physically within the geo-fence zone. GPS coordinates are captured on every punch.
Multi-site companies can set different geo-fence radii per location. Manager alerts fire instantly when a clock-in attempt is made outside a permitted zone.

MOM Overtime Compliance — automatic alerts before thresholds are breached
