Outlets on one dashboard
 

Timetera is a cloud-based attendance system and HRMS for retail and F&B businesses in Malaysia that operate more than one outlet. It uses AI face recognition to verify clock-ins, syncs every branch to a single HQ dashboard in real time, and automates shift scheduling, overtime and payroll exports — replacing manual punch cards, spreadsheets and buddy-punching-prone systems.

 

Why retail & F&B attendance breaks down

Multiple outlets, part-time rosters and thin HR headcount create attendance problems that generic time-tracking tools weren’t built for.

 

No visibility across outlets

HQ finds out about a short-staffed branch when a customer complains, not before — because attendance data sits on paper or in a branch-only system.

Manual payroll reconciliation

HR spends days each month chasing timesheets from every outlet manager before payroll can even be calculated correctly.

Restricted-area access

Pharmacies, treatment rooms and record storage need access limited to authorised staff, not just a general entrance log.

Complex shift patterns

Split shifts, peak-hour surges, part-timers and rotating rosters make fixed 9-to-5 attendance tools unworkable for F&B and retail floors.

Roving & delivery staff

Riders and relief staff who move between outlets have no fixed terminal to clock in at, so their hours often go untracked entirely.

Compliance risk

Without accurate hours and overtime records, businesses are exposed on Employment Act compliance and EPF/SOCSO/EIS contribution accuracy.

What Timetera solves for your outlets

One system, connected to every branch, built around how retail and F&B teams actually work.

 

Face recognition, anti-spoofing

Verifies a live face at every clock-in — masks and low light included — closing the buddy-punching loophole for good.

Multi-branch, one dashboard

Every outlet syncs to HQ in real time. See staffing levels, lateness and attendance across all locations at once.

Mobile clock-in for roving staff

Delivery riders and relief staff clock in via GPS + face match from the Timetera app, no fixed terminal required.

Shift, break & OT automation

Configure split shifts, peak-hour rosters and overtime rules per outlet — no more manual roster spreadsheets.

Payroll-ready exports

Verified hours, lateness and OT flow straight into payroll processing, cutting month-end reconciliation time.

Door access control

Pair attendance with integrated door access on select devices, so staff access and clock-in run on one credential.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers for retail and F&B operators evaluating an attendance system.

Timetera is a cloud attendance system built for Malaysian retail chains and F&B outlets. It uses AI face recognition for clock-in, syncs attendance data across all branches to a central HQ dashboard in real time, and automates shift scheduling, overtime and payroll exports.

 

Timetera uses AI-powered facial recognition with anti-spoofing detection, so a staff member’s face must be verified live at the device. This removes shared cards, PINs and fingerprints as loopholes, the most common ways buddy punching happens in shift-based teams.

 

Yes. Timetera connects every outlet directly to HQ over the cloud. Owners and HR admins can view live attendance, staffing levels and reports for every branch from a single dashboard, with unlimited admin logins for supervisors at each location.

 

Yes. Timetera supports flexible shift patterns, split shifts, breaks and overtime rules, which suits the part-time and rotating-roster staffing common in restaurants, cafes and quick-service outlets in Malaysia.

 

Timetera automatically calculates hours worked, late clock-ins, overtime and off-day claims from verified attendance data, then exports this directly for payroll processing, reducing manual timesheet reconciliation across outlets.

 

Yes. Timetera’s mobile app supports GPS and face-verified clock-in and clock-out, so roving staff, delivery riders and outlet relief staff can check in from any registered location, with the record still syncing to the central dashboard.
