Digital Workforce Management Solutions
Since 1991 we have been specialising in workforce management in the manufacturing sector working with the likes of Monument Tools, CMD, Wirebelt, Transporter Engineering, Rotadex Systems, Solina, Primafruit, Krispy Crème, Wren Kitchens….and many others. We are unique in the workforce market as rather than to rely on hardware and software integrations and in working with often redundant hardware or software we can offer that bridging of both clocking systems, Access Controls and cloud software in one solution. Added to that our powerful rules engine makes automation simple. The knock on there being: • low exception errors • Increasing control and accuracy of data before running payroll • Minimal manual manipulation of data • Managers are free to Manage their business and not to manage timesheets • Fluid integrations with HR & Payroll to drive efficiency in data sharing • Make data driven decisions on “real-time” data (T&A and Job costs) • Scalability to flex for growth with no increase needed in headcount In manufacturing environments like yours, time isn’t just money — it’s precision, compliance, and morale. That’s where a lot of traditional T&A and Workforce Management systems fall short: they clock people in and out, but they don’t actually help leaders manage people better. That’s where Synel comes in. Current systems are either manual, siloed, or outdated. Whether it’s lost hours, buddy punching, scheduling headaches, or overtime compliance, the cost is creeping in every week. And let’s be honest — spreadsheets, badge-swipe systems, or even generic HR software aren’t built for the nuances of shift work, machine-side labour, and high-mix production schedules. What makes Synel different is that it’s not just a time clock — it’s a workforce intelligence layer. We’re helping companies like yours align their labour force with operational goals through real-time visibility, smart scheduling, mobile access, and biometric verification — all in one platform. Imagine being able to answer questions like: Who’s always late before a quality issue arises? Are we over- or under-utilising our skilled operators this month? Can we adjust schedules dynamically based on production peaks?" Our Clients are seeing reduced payroll leakage, better compliance with working time regulations, and improved employee trust in how hours are recorded.
