Accurate location data

When staff clock in and out using mybiotime, their attendance and location are automatically recorded. They can add an additional job code to their punch. Biotime then calculates the time spent as a cost linked to a particular job, project or location, giving you a clear, real-time view of labour costs across your operations.
