"I can’t think of another application I’ve used in the last 10 years that has been so reliable or required so little maintenance. If functionality is what you’re looking for I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it."

Time and Attendance

Focus isn't just Scheduling or HR software with Time and Attendance bolted on. This is 20 years of industry-leading Time and Attendance expertise.

Collect data however you need: physical terminals (biometric and RFID), NFC tags, web portal, geofences, app clocking, or manual entry. Mix and match methods across your organisation and watch them work in harmony.

Once captured, that data flows through sophisticated processing: complex rules, schedules, breaks, holidays, overtime, flexitime, split shifts, overnight shifts, and three-tiered approval systems. Unlimited pay rates, unlimited shift rules, unlimited flexibility—extended further through custom scripts and integrations.

Employee Scheduling

Build schedules that actually work. Design shift patterns that repeat across any timeframe - 5 days, 90 days, 300 days, whatever your operation demands. Assign multiple schedules to the same employee (day shift and night shift, for example) and Focus automatically determines which shift they're working based on their clock-in time. No manual intervention, no guesswork.

Plan weeks or months ahead with repeating templates, or let your team request the shifts they're available for. From highly customised work patterns to casual shift requests, Focus ensures you have the right people in the right place.

Every employee carries their schedule in their pocket through the Self Service App - always current, always accessible. When things change (and they will), automatic notifications keep everyone aligned. No more phone calls, no more confusion, just seamless coordination across your entire workforce.

Absence Management

Unexpected absences challenge every organisation. Focus keeps you informed in real-time with instant alerts, supervisor notifications, and dashboards that show exactly where your gaps are and who can fill them. Move from reactive scrambling to proactive management.

When it comes to planned time off, your team can request leave directly from their phone, seeing their balances and schedule before they even ask. Supervisors approve requests transparently, with full visibility of team capacity, skills requirements, and who requested first. Fair, efficient, and no more back-and-forth emails.

Lateness improves simply by measuring it - demonstrating its value to your organisation. Track attendance patterns, identify trends with metrics like Bradford Factor, and support team members who need it.

If it isn't measured, it isn't valued.

Human Resources

Focus works with your existing policies, not against them. Store everything from emergency contacts to right-to-work documentation to licence expiry dates within employee records. Add your onboarding checklists directly to each record, create triggers based on important dates like probation endings or long-service anniversaries, and design custom employee forms that capture what matters to your organisation.

Give employees control through the Self Service App. They can check timesheets, view their schedules and leave balances, and request time off - all from their phones. Less admin burden on HR, more autonomy for your team.

Focus isn't trying to replace your processes. It's built to support them, reducing friction whilst keeping you compliant and organised.

Site Safety

Fire alarm evacuations are disruptive - accounting for everyone, reconciling against shifts, proving compliance. Focus handles it automatically. Our fire alarm roll call system is app based and tells fire marshals at a glance who is on site, where they are, and even provides contact information.

Manage multiple Fire Muster Points across complex sites and use the Roll Call Monitor view to see in realtime the progress of every single Fire Safe record. What used to take 30 minutes of clipboards and confusion now takes seconds.

Beyond fire safety, Focus ensures you maintain critical safety requirements across your workforce. Use Skills with expiry dates to guarantee only currently qualified staff work in regulated areas. Set minimum first aider requirements and let the system prevent scheduling gaps. Track access to restricted zones through audit logs.

Compliance shouldn't require constant manual oversight. Focus automates the checks that keep your people safe and your organisation compliant.

"Great care was taken in planning, needs analysis and subsequent deployment. We were so impressed with the system and ongoing support, that less than a year later we also upgraded to Focus on our Rutland site. Standout features include the Availability module allowing managers to make informed decisions and to optimise workforce productivity along with the integrated Sage output which hugely reduces the time it takes to process payroll across both sites. Focus is a very comprehensive solution and I highly recommend the product"
