Automated Time Tracking, Redefined: The Hours SmartTrack Technological Solution

The campaign “Chip Your Employees” isn’t just a catchy phrase — it’s a strategic statement. Behind it lies a shift in leadership culture, where trust, efficiency, and technological accuracy replace manual, error-prone processes. Our goal is to highlight that time tracking shouldn’t be about control or suspicion, but rather a modern, automatic, and systematic part of leadership.

If you’re tired of repeatedly asking “when did someone arrive” or “was the employee actually on-site,” then it’s time to upgrade to a digitally reliable and precise solution: Hours SmartTrack.

SmartTrack is a contactless, passive time tracking system based on spatial recognition. Each employee carries a personalized chip (in their pocket or on a keychain), which is detected by strategically placed gateway devices. The system records arrivals, departures, and, if needed, movement between different work zones. The result: a detailed, automatically collected history of employee presence.

Value in Practice

• Real-time transparency – Always know who is present in the workspace, making shift planning and operations smoother.
• Objectivity in disputes – Timestamped logs eliminate subjective claims about lateness, overtime, or absences.
• Smarter HR management – Data on resource usage forms the basis for data-driven leadership decisions.
• Automated payroll – The system reduces the need for manual oversight and avoids calculation errors.
• Employee trust – The system is applied equally, avoiding bias or favoritism.

How It Works

Gateway devices create a defined coverage zone. When a chipped employee enters or exits, the system logs the event automatically. There’s no need to tap a card or enter data into a terminal — the entire process is deeply integrated and fully passive.

Fast Setup, Minimal Burden

Installation is designed to be user-friendly: simply connect the device to a power outlet and place it in a strategic location (e.g., the center of a production floor). No wiring or IT specialist is required.

Employee Perspective

• No need to remember check-ins
• Increased sense of trust in the employer
• Work time starts and ends automatically
• Breaks and internal movements can be configured

Real Experience: Bravo Catering

Several partner companies have piloted SmartTrack. Bravo Catering is a prime example — while initial phases saw minor anomalies, close collaboration with the client helped stabilize the system. Today, their time tracking is fully automated, and management can focus on meaningful matters.

In Summary

Hours SmartTrack is a professional-grade solution that elevates time tracking to a new level of quality. It’s built for leaders who value objectivity, time efficiency, and reliability.

Chip your employees — because every hour counts.
