Branches & roving staff
Manage multiple sites from one database. Allocate employees to branches, handle staff who move between sites, and report per branch or across the group.
Time & attendance · Connected edition
Anytime PostgreSQL
Attendance software that keeps up with a growing operation. Multiple users, branches and roving staff, with leave workflows, mobile clocking and reporting that stands up to scrutiny.
Overview
One attendance system for the whole operation.
Anytime PostgreSQL is the connected edition of Anytime. Instead of one PC holding the database, the system runs on PostgreSQL — on your own network server or a hosted environment — so several people can work at the same time and every branch feeds into the same records.
It suits operations where HR, payroll and site supervisors all need access, where staff move between sites, and where leave, overtime and shift changes need a proper workflow instead of WhatsApp messages and paper forms.
Rosters & shift patterns
Build shift patterns, assign rosters and handle shift swaps with an approval step, so changes are visible and recorded.
Leave & overtime workflows
Employees request leave and overtime, supervisors review, and approved entries flow into balances and reports without re-capturing.
Mobile clocking
Let staff clock in from a phone using a PIN-based mobile page — useful for roving employees, remote sites and after-hours callouts.
Device integration
Connect supported ZKTeco and Suprema terminals, push data from devices, and monitor device status from the system.
Roles & audit trail
Give each person the access they need. Corrections, access events and device changes are recorded so there is a history behind the numbers.
Designed around the awkward exceptions
Most attendance problems are not the normal 08:00 to 17:00 shift. They are the swaps, the missed clockings, the early arrivals and the public holiday that falls on a Sunday. Anytime gives you a place to deal with each of them.
- Missing clockings Flag gaps and resolve them through corrections with a visible reason and audit record.
- Shift swaps Employees request a swap, a supervisor approves, and the roster updates without a separate spreadsheet.
- Visitors & access events Keep visitor records and access events alongside employee attendance where your hardware supports it.
- Public holidays Load the South African public holiday calendar and apply the correct rules to hours worked.
- Variance & early arrivals Compare scheduled versus actual time and see where the operation is drifting.
A month in the system

Clockings arrive from terminals, device push or mobile clocking. Exceptions surface on the dashboard for review.

Approve & report
Resolve corrections and overtime claims, lock the period, then export registers and summaries for payroll.

Frequently asked
Does Anytime PostgreSQL have to run in the cloud?
No. It can run on a server on your own network, or on a hosted server if you need remote access. We will recommend the deployment that matches your IT setup and budget.
Can staff clock in from their phones?
Yes. Mobile clocking with PIN access is available for employees who work away from a fixed terminal, such as roving staff and remote sites.
Can you migrate our existing attendance history?
In most cases, yes. We assess your current system and database, then migrate employees, shifts and historical clockings where the data allows.
Does it work with ZKTeco and Suprema devices?
Anytime supports direct integration with supported terminals and can also import device exports. Share your device models and we will confirm compatibility.
What about backups and access control?
Backups are handled as part of your deployment and support arrangement. Role-based access lets you limit what each user can view and change.
