What goes wrong
The four problems retail operations keep hitting
Every branch keeps its own timesheet
Fifteen outlets means fifteen spreadsheets arriving at head office in fifteen formats at month end. Consolidation is a multi-day job and errors are invisible until payroll is wrong.
Mall trading hours create split shifts
Retail rotas in the UAE routinely run split shifts with a long midday break. Systems that assume one in and one out per day cannot represent this, so hours are recorded wrong from the start.
Buddy punching is easy when the manager is off-floor
Card or PIN systems in a small outlet with no supervision present are trivially shared. Biometric verification removes the possibility rather than relying on the manager being there.
Compact face or fingerprint terminal per outlet on cloud software, with head-office consolidated reporting
Cloud deployment means no server per branch and no IT visit to add an outlet — head office sees every branch live in one dashboard.
This is our default starting point for retail, not a fixed answer. The survey exists to confirm or overturn it against your actual site.

Questions
Retail — FAQ
We are opening new branches regularly. How hard is it to add one?
We ship a pre-configured terminal to the new outlet. It connects to your existing cloud account over wifi or 4G and appears in your dashboard as a new location. No server, no site visit from IT, and no separate licence negotiation.
Can area managers see only their own branches?
Yes. Access is role-based — a branch manager sees their outlet, an area manager sees their cluster, head office sees everything. Payroll data visibility is controlled separately from attendance visibility.
Our mall outlet has no dedicated internet line. What then?
A 4G-enabled terminal with a data SIM covers this, which is common in mall units where landlord internet is expensive or slow to provision. Data usage for attendance sync is negligible — a basic SIM plan is sufficient.
