Hello, Garage Managers... Are You Clocking with BC Time Yet?
Binary City CC - Dept - Marketing, Rollands Puckree

Some call it a Petrol Station, some call it a Service Station but here in South Africa and Namibia, we mostly call it a garage! Now that that’s cleared, let’s talk ‘clocking’.

I have spoken to many managers and owners of garages, and I can tell you this - Managing one isn’t for the faint-hearted! Garages are busy places with long hours, irregular shifts, and teams that often include part-time or temporary staff. Keeping the biltong rack stocked up is the least of their drama.


Things get really bad when managers use manual timesheets to track their employee’s Time & Attendance. You might as well try pushing a car uphill with the handbrake on. 👀


That’s where Binary City comes in. With over 15 years of expertise and multiple awards under its belt, BC Time (Binary City Time) is the clocking solution garages swear by. From petrol attendants to facility workers, the team has helped garages across South Africa and Namibia clock-in with ease and…. They absolutely love it!

Let’s understand why the hype is so high with BC Time:

It’s a super advanced Time and Attendance management system, synced to Facial Recognition and Fingerprint biometric clocking devices, ensuring that your data is clocking  accurate. 

Real-Time Monitoring

With BC Time, you’ll have real-time visibility of who’s on-site and who’s not. Even if you’re managing multiple branches. No more “Where’s Thabo?” moments when customers are queuing up at the pumps. Instead, you can focus on keeping things running smoothly.
