Built for Your Role

Different responsibilities. Same platform.

Genialcloud TEM + Time serves every decision-maker who carries accountability for workforce cost, compliance or operational efficiency. Explore what the platform delivers for your role.

Real-time expense commitment visibility
See travel commitments and expense liabilities before they become month-end surprises. Live dashboards show open expense reports, pending approvals and budget consumption by cost centre , updated continuously, not at month-end close.
Policy violations prevented, not discovered
Out-of-policy expenses are blocked at submission, not identified in the finance review. Per-diem thresholds, receipt requirements and category restrictions are enforced in the workflow , reducing the out-of-policy reimbursement rate by 70–85% within six months.
Month-end close transformed from rework to reporting
Expense data posts to GL automatically on approval. Attendance data feeds payroll on validated schedule. The manual reconciliation cycle that consumes three to four days each month is replaced by real-time accruals.
Audit-ready by default, not by preparation
Every expense approval, every attendance stamping and every policy exception is recorded in an immutable log. Audit preparation is not a project . It is a query against a permanently maintained record.
Real-time workforce presence across every location
Who is present, who is remote, who is on leave , visible in real time across every site and team. No chasing timesheets, no reconstructing presence data at period end. Operational capacity is a live number, not a lagging estimate.
Approvals that happen without management intervention
Travel requests, expense reports and leave requests route automatically to the right approver, with SLA timers and escalation paths. The approval process moves forward without follow-up emails or chaser calls.
Shift compliance before it becomes a labour incident
Overtime thresholds, rest period requirements and maximum working time rules are enforced automatically. When a stamping pattern would create a compliance violation, the alert arrives before the violation occurs , not after the inspection.
Field and remote workforce fully covered
GPS clock-in, offline mobile operation and biometric integration mean the platform works for office staff, remote workers, field technicians, drivers and site-based teams equally , with the same governance applied to every employee regardless of location.
Payroll data that arrives validated, not raw
Genialcloud TIME produces validated, exception-cleared timesheet data on schedule , formatted for your payroll system's input requirements. The monthly data preparation task that previously consumed two to three days reduces to a scheduled automated export.
Leave management without the email trail
Every leave request submitted, routed, approved or declined through a governed workflow. Team calendars updated automatically. Accrual balances maintained in real time. The HR team's role in leave administration becomes exception management, not process management.
Labour law compliance , built in, not bolted on
EU Working Time Directive, Italian CCNL, North American FLSA and custom contractual rules are configured in the platform's rules engine and applied automatically. Compliance is not a manual check. It is a structural property of how the system operates.
Integration with any HRIS , not a replacement
Employee master data, org hierarchy, contract types and work schedules are read from your HRIS via synchronised feed. Absence data can write back. HR's system of record remains unchanged : TEM + Time connects to it, not around it.
Zero installation deployment
Genialcloud TEM + Time is fully browser-native. No client software, no version management, no OS dependency. iOS and Android apps deploy through standard enterprise MDM. The IT footprint is an API integration , not an application estate.
Integration-first architecture
REST API connectivity to ERP, HRIS and payroll systems. SCIM provisioning for automatic user lifecycle management tied to your identity provider. OAuth 2.0, SAML, Azure AD and Okta SSO fully supported. No custom connectors required for standard enterprise systems.
Enterprise security : document and data level
OAuth 2.0 authentication, AES-256 encryption, role-based access control aligned to your org hierarchy, remote wipe for mobile devices, and a complete authentication audit log. GDPR-compliant data residency options available.
Self-governing platform : minimal IT overhead
User lifecycle managed via SCIM. Policy configuration and workflow design are business-user operations, not IT change requests. The platform does not generate a support queue . It generates a governance record.
Workforce cost as a managed variable, not a lagging report
Travel commitments, expense liabilities, overtime costs and absence costs are visible in real time. Management decisions about headcount, travel budgets and project staffing are informed by current data , not last month's reconciled figures.
Integration without disruption
Genialcloud TEM + Time connects to existing ERP, HRIS and payroll infrastructure without replacing it. The organisation's investment in enterprise systems is preserved; the manual overhead that sits between those systems is eliminated.
Compliance as an operational property, not a project
Policy enforcement, labour law compliance and audit trail maintenance happen automatically as part of normal operations. The organisation is permanently audit-ready , not periodically prepared for audit. The risk reduction is structural, not procedural.
Part of a unified business operating platform
TEM + Time is the workforce layer of the Genialcloud platform , sharing a data model and integration architecture with Genialcloud Proj (ERP), Powua (AI/Analytics) and Facsys (Documents). One vendor relationship, one coherent architecture.
✦ Mobile at the Core

Workforce operations
from any device,
any location

The mobile experience in Genialcloud TEM + Time is not a simplified view of the web application. It is a purpose-built interface for the workflows employees need to complete in the field: capturing receipts the moment a transaction occurs, clocking in at a remote site with GPS confirmation, requesting leave while travelling, and checking approval status without opening a laptop. Every workflow is designed for execution in thirty seconds or less.

📷
OCR Receipt Capture
Photograph any receipt : OCR extracts merchant, date, amount and currency automatically. No manual entry for standard transactions.
📍
GPS Clock-In / Clock-Out
Location-verified stamping for remote and field workers. Offline mode stores stamps locally and syncs on reconnection.
📅
Leave Request & Status
Submit leave requests and track approval status from any device. Manager receives an immediate notification with a direct approval link.
📱 Ask Your Workforce Data — Mobile AI Agent

Natural language queries against your live TEM + Time data , from any device, answered in seconds via Genialcloud Powua integration.

"What is the total travel expense commitment for Q3 by team?"
"Which departments exceeded their monthly overtime budget this week?"
"How many leave requests are pending approval across the business today?"
"Show me employees with missing clock-out stamps this week"
"What is the average expense report processing time this month?"
"Which cost centres have the highest policy exception rate?"
Why Avantune

The partner that treats workforce operations as strategic infrastructure.

🎯
Named Access, Direct Accountability
Named contacts who know your deployment, your policies and your regulatory context. No ticket queues when payroll deadlines approach or compliance requirements change.
📋
Implementation Measured by Outcomes
Success is measured by your policy compliance rate, payroll data accuracy and finance close efficiency , not by features activated or go-live date achieved.
⚖️
Regulatory Evolution as Platform Capability
Labour law changes, tax authority requirements and collective agreement renewals are absorbed into the platform , not delivered as custom development invoices.
🔗
Integration Without System Replacement
TEM + Time connects to your existing ERP, HRIS and payroll systems. Your infrastructure investment is preserved. The manual overhead between systems is eliminated.
"
The true cost of manual workforce operations is not the administrative overhead alone . It is the management attention consumed by avoidable exception handling, the compliance risk created by inconsistent policy application, and the data quality problems that make month-end close a reconstruction exercise. Genialcloud TEM + Time is built to eliminate all three, permanently.
