Time Tracking & Scheduling Timesheet Management

Zoho People

Complete HR platform with integrated time tracking

Zoho People revolutionizes workforce management by seamlessly integrating comprehensive HR functionality with sophisticated time tracking capabilities, serving over 30,000 organizations including companies like Emirates NBD, Pernod Ricard, and thousands of growing businesses that need unified employee management. The platform eliminates the costly inefficiencies of maintaining separate HR and time tracking systems, where data synchronization issues and manual processes consume up to 15 hours of administrative time weekly. Instead of juggling multiple tools with conflicting data, HR teams gain a single source of truth that connects timesheet data directly with payroll processing, performance evaluations, and project management.

The modern workplace demands more than basic clock-in functionality, and Zoho People delivers intelligent time tracking that understands context, projects, and organizational hierarchies. Growing companies particularly benefit from the platform’s ability to scale from simple attendance tracking to complex multi-location, multi-project time allocation without requiring system migrations or data restructuring. This flexibility has enabled businesses to reduce timesheet processing time by 70% while improving accuracy through automated validation rules and intelligent anomaly detection.

Beyond time tracking, Zoho People creates a complete employee experience ecosystem where workers access self-service portals for timesheet submission, leave requests, and document management. This employee-centric approach reduces HR inquiries by 60% while improving satisfaction through mobile accessibility and transparent communication. The platform’s integration with Zoho’s broader suite means timesheet data flows seamlessly into project management, invoicing, and financial reporting without manual intervention.
