Three shifts a day, and a peak that doubles your headcount.
Warehouse attendance isn't hard because it's complicated. It's hard because it's dense — thousands of punches a day, overtime everywhere, and a seasonal peak that arrives faster than your onboarding process can absorb.
Volume is the whole problem.
Overtime is constant
Not an exception but a routine part of the operation — which means it needs a routine approval path, or it becomes a month-end negotiation with a number nobody authorised.
Peak onboarding
Hundreds of temporary staff arriving in a fortnight. Any process that doesn't bulk-load is a process that fails exactly when you need it most.
Shift handover precision
When three shifts cover twenty-four hours, a fifteen-minute ambiguity at each boundary is an hour a day of disputed pay across the site.
Built for the row count, not the demo.
A dense operation is precisely where attendance systems slow down — because every day adds thousands of rows and no one designed for year three. WMS360's time-series storage is partitioned from the outset, so the dashboard is as quick in December as it was in the pilot.
- Shift master with timing rules, assigned per employee, so handover boundaries are defined rather than negotiated.
- Overtime claim, approve and reject per employee per date — authorised before the payroll run, not explained after it.
- Bulk employee import so peak hiring is an afternoon of data loading rather than a fortnight of typing.
- Geofence per depot or dock, with employees valid at more than one when your operation rotates them.
- Period locking so the payroll figures stop moving once finance has taken them.
- Partitioned time-series storage engineered for tens of millions of rows, so the system doesn't degrade as history accumulates.
Twenty-four hours, three shifts.
06:00 — first shift
Punches land against the shift assigned to each person, verified and inside the depot boundary.
14:00 — handover
Second shift punches in as the first punches out. The timing rules decide what counts, so the overlap isn't a judgement call.
23:30 — overtime
A late dispatch pushes the night shift over. The claims route to the shift manager's queue and are cleared the same night.
Month end — locked
Approvals are cleared, the period locks, and payroll pulls a dataset that will still say the same thing tomorrow.
