What is Attendance Tracking Software?

An attendance tracking system monitors employee attendance by recording work hours, clock-in and clock-out times, and leave.

It transforms this data into usable insights for managers and payroll operations. It matters because it reduces errors from manual tracking and keeps attendance data consistent across teams.
