Time & Attendance Software for effective workforce management

Unitend, the extraordinarily efficient Time & Attendance Software system from Carval, is uniquely equipped to track and record working times for an unlimited number of employees across an unlimited number of companies.

If your company operates complex shift patterns or is one of the increasing number of organisations to offer the benefit of flexible working, then Unitend is the perfect T&A Software solution for you.

Time & Attendance Software which provides outstanding integration options

While our Unitend Time & Attendance Software can, of course, be used alone (with or without Employee Self-Service), it can also be seamlessly integrated with the other modules in the Carval HR Unity range, our Payroll Software (Uniwage) or HR Software (Unistaff), to form a complete Human Resources Software system. Carval can also provide integrated access control solutions to improve site security.

It’s reassuring to know that Carval HR Unity is one of the few truly integrated solutions on the market, in that it operates from a single SQL database and is written by a single supplier.

Meanwhile, you can rest easy knowing that output to Microsoft® Office is standard, dynamic integration with Sage Payroll is possible and Unitend can import and export data using CSV and Excel files.

T&A Software with the latest data capture methods

Carval supports a range of cutting-edge data capture methods, in line with your budget and business needs. Popular systems include Bar Code Readers, Magnetic Stripe Readers, Biometric Readers, Vein Technology, Mobile and PDA and Web Browser, among others.

Flexible enough to handle the most complex work patterns

Planning even the most complicated shift patterns is simple with Carval’s Time & Attendance Software. The practically limitless shift database permits you to build daily and weekly shift patterns and create annual rotas, taking into account multiple starts of week, flexi-time, rotating shifts and much more. Working Time Directive monitoring is standard.

Absence and lateness management

Carval’s Unitend T&A Software provides all the tools you need to manage, monitor and reduce absence and lateness in line with company policy. It also allows for global and team absence, caused by factory shutdown for example, and shift changes - aiding forward labour planning. Comprehensive absence reporting is also included.

Holiday management

Carval’s Time and Attendance Software includes all the functionality that you could possibly need for holiday management.

Accurate payroll data

Integrating you Time and Attendance System with your Payroll Software makes accurate payroll data automatically available without the need for time-consuming and error-prone manual data entry and timesheet reconciliation. Unitend integrates with both Carval Uniwage and Sage Payroll Software as standard and interfaces with many other third party systems are possible.

Timesheets and workforce management

Carval offers a range of flexible solutions to simplify workforce management across your business. These include timesheets, cost and project management, automated employee rostering and scheduling.

Information for management

Unitend’s powerful reporting tools allow you to make decisions based on exact knowledge of your workforce. A comprehensive suite of standard reports is included plus a custom report writer. A handy Supervisor Enquiry facility provides line managers with up to the minute information on their employees, to see instantly who hasn’t clocked in, for example, so they can take immediate action or to quickly find an employee with a particular skill. It also provides tools to help to identify absence and lateness trends, monitor and authorise holidays, overtime and much more.

Information for employees

To help reduce employee enquiries and the obvious administration overload this entails, Carval can provide a solution. The best option is to add our web-based Employee Self-Service module, Unity Online, which will enable your employees to clock in, submit time sheets, book holidays and update personal details.

Health and safety

In an emergency or in the event of a fire alarm, you naturally want to know exactly who is on the premises - well, with Unitend you’ll know exactly that. The system includes both a safety-only clock-in, as well as a visitor element, to guarantee an accurate picture of who’s in the building at any one time. An automatic fire alarm register print-out is also available, as well as a skill search tool that will help you easily locate first aiders or other skilled individuals. Carval can also offer solutions for lone workers.

Comprehensive employee details

Unitend holds comprehensive employee records which can be maintained by supervisors. This includes personal details, company and post information, the skills the employee possesses, details of individual shift patterns and links to documents and photographs. Creating a new employee is simple with Unitend’s New Employee Wizard and employees with multiple posts are catered for.

Detailed post information

Unitend can create and maintain a list of positions within the company, storing detailed information such as job descriptions, skills and competencies.
