Stop Spending 3 Days Every Month Fixing Attendance and Payroll Errors.
TimeCentral Closes the Loop Automatically.
Clock-ins captured automatically. Overtime calculated. MOM rules enforced. Payroll updated — without anyone re-entering data. TimeCentral connects attendance to payroll in real time, so month-end takes 12 minutes instead of 3 days. Trusted by 1,000+ companies across Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and beyond.
Your attendance system is creating payroll problems every month. Here's how.
Every company with more than 20 employees is experiencing at least three of these. Most are paying for them silently.
Manual attendance tracking
TimeCentral — what your first month-end looks like
Up and running in one afternoon, no IT project
Three steps and your whole team is tracking attendance live.
Add your team
Import employees from PeopleCentral HRMS in one click or bulk-upload a CSV. Departments, shifts, and geo-fence zones configured in minutes.
Employees download the app
iOS and Android. Staff log in once and clock in via selfie, QR, or biometric — no IT setup required.
Track in real time
Every clock-in and clock-out hits the live dashboard instantly. Payroll data updates automatically — no re-entry at month end.
What makes TimeCentral unique
Three capabilities that competitors simply don't have — and that protect your payroll, your compliance, and your time.
Four-layer anti-buddy-punch system
GPS + Geofencing + 2FA + Facial Recognition — all active simultaneously. Most systems use one method. One method can be beaten. TimeCentral requires all four. An employee cannot clock in for a colleague — they cannot pass the face check, cannot spoof GPS, cannot bypass 2FA. This eliminates 2.2% payroll losses completely.
IDP + offline multi-timezone sync
Upload any timesheet in any format — PDF, Excel, photo, email. Intelligent Document Processing auto-classifies and extracts data into structured payroll format. Works offline for field workers. Auto-converts timezones across Singapore, Australia, India, Middle East, UK, and USA with real-time head office visibility.
AI-powered predictive scheduling
Not just shift templates — AI that predicts what your roster needs. Analyses historical attendance, absence patterns, and demand to build optimised schedules. Claimed 50% productivity gain for shift-heavy operations. PSG grant eligible. Effective for F&B, retail, manufacturing, and healthcare.

Learn moreAI makes your attendance data work harder
TimeCentral captures the data. EngageCentral's AI layer makes it intelligent — monitoring compliance risks, answering employee questions, flagging anomalies before they become payroll problems.
AI Signal Watch — proactive alerts
AI monitors attendance data using a traffic-light system. Alerts fire when employees approach MOM overtime thresholds, when absence patterns signal risk, or when compliance gaps appear. Intelligence comes to you — no dashboards to check.
CompanyBOT — schedule questions 24/7
Employees ask CompanyBOT about their shifts, leave balances, and overtime in plain language. "What shift am I on Friday?" answered in seconds. HR handles exceptions — not repetition.
IDP document processing
MOM timesheets, shift schedules, and attendance reports are processed by EngageCentral's IDP engine — classified, archived, and available for one-click audit export. 7-year retention built in.
Labour law compliance built in, for every country you operate in
TimeCentral doesn't just track hours. It enforces the labour laws of each country where your employees work — automatically updating when regulations change.
