Anytime SQLite
A dependable attendance system for a single PC or small site. Import clockings, apply your shift rules, and produce payroll-ready reports — without needing an internet connection.
Overview
Straightforward attendance for smaller teams.
Anytime SQLite — previously known as ATS Lite — is the local edition of our Anytime time & attendance system. Everything runs on one PC with the database stored on that machine, so there is no server to maintain and no internet dependency during the working day.
It is a good fit when one person is responsible for attendance, when your clocking device is connected to a single reception or admin PC, or when you want a simple, reliable system that does the basics properly.
Employees & departments
Keep employee records, departments and employment details in one place, with active and inactive staff clearly separated.
Shifts & rosters
Set up shift patterns and allocate employees to them, so normal hours, night shifts and weekend work are calculated correctly.
Clocking imports
Pull clockings from your terminal or import a USB export, then match them to the right employee without retyping registers.
Calculation engine
Apply your rules for ordinary hours, overtime, late arrivals, early departures and variances consistently across the team.
Reports & Excel exports
Attendance registers, monthly summaries, absenteeism, late arrivals, overtime and variance reports — ready to export.
How a typical month works
Three repeatable steps, whether you run payroll weekly, fortnightly or monthly.
1
Collect the clockings
Connect your clocking device or import its USB file. Anytime stores the raw punches against each employee.
2
Calculate and correct
Run the calculation for the period, then review flagged exceptions. Authorised users can make manual corrections with a record of the change.
3
Report and pay
Print or export the attendance register and summary reports your payroll provider needs.
Built for the way small sites work
- No server required Install it on the admin PC you already use. The database stays on that machine.
- No internet required Clockings, calculations and reports keep working during an outage.
- One clear source of truth Stop reconciling paper registers, spreadsheets and USB files at month-end.
- Grows with you When you add branches or need multiple users, you can move up to Anytime PostgreSQL.

Frequently asked
Can I move from SQLite to PostgreSQL later?
Yes. Many clients start on SQLite and move to Anytime PostgreSQL when they add users, branches or remote clocking. We assist with the migration and make sure your history comes across.
Does it work with my existing clocking machine?
Anytime imports clocking data from a range of terminals, including ZKTeco devices via USB export. Tell us what you are using and we will confirm compatibility before you buy.
Can more than one person use it?
The SQLite edition is designed around one primary workstation. If several people need simultaneous access, Anytime PostgreSQL is the better fit.
Is training included?
Installation and hand-over training can be included in your quote, along with ongoing remote support. We will confirm exactly what is covered in your proposal.
See Anytime SQLite with your own data.
A short demo is usually enough to tell whether the local edition fits. We will be honest if PostgreSQL or your existing system is the better answer.
