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:
Scheduled Shifts
After a BC Time implementation, managers now have a calendar view for Scheduled Shifts. Everything is centralised and easy to manage on the BC Time application. 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.
Payroll Peace of Mind
End-of-month payroll doesn’t have to feel like solving a Rubik’s Cube blindfolded. BC Time captures accurate clock-in and clock-out data, calculates hours worked (including overtime), and integrates seamlessly with any of your favourite payroll systems. No more arguments, no more overtime disputes—just accurate, hassle-free payroll. We found that employees love the fact that their time is being respected at the workplace too. BC Time incorporates fairness, and accountability in line with Namibian and South African Labour Law Compliances.
Security You Can Trust
Between cash, stock, and fuel, garages are prime targets for theft. That’s where BC Time’s integration with access control comes in. Restrict access to secure areas and know exactly who entered and when. Whether it’s your stockroom or office, BC Time gives you absolute peace of mind.
So, why choose BC Time?
Simple—it’s not just a clocking solution; it’s a clocking game-changer for garages and their workforces. The Binary City team gets it, running a garage isn’t just about pumping fuel. It’s about creating a culture of smooth operations, happy teams, and satisfied customers. BC Time is an incredible piece of African technology with outstanding after sales support!
