About Al- Ayed:

Al-Ayed, a leading Saudi Arabian industrial group specializing in high-quality hoses, pipes, wires, and cables.

Challenge:

Al-Ayed's existing time and attendance system relied on a cumbersome process. They used a machine that stored data in a USB format, requiring manual retrieval, conversion into Excel spreadsheets, and subsequent analysis. This method was:

• Time-Consuming: Data retrieval, conversion, and analysis were lengthy processes, hindering efficiency.
• Error-Prone: Manual data handling increased the risk of human error, impacting payroll accuracy.
• Decentralized: Lack of a centralized system made monitoring and managing employee attendance data difficult.
• Limited Functionality: The old system lacked features like employee leave management, shift scheduling, and payroll integration.
