What HRMS & Workforce Management is for

Most workforce systems record the hours somebody typed in at the end of the day. That number is a memory, not a measurement, and it is almost always wrong.

Highsense HRMS and Workforce Management measures the work instead. A task is assigned with planned minutes and a due date, and the person starts and pauses it as they actually work. Only those sessions count as time. The result is a real picture of capacity, on-time performance and where the hours actually went.

Built for

Production units with department heads and operators

How the work flows

1
Task created
A job is raised with planned minutes, a planned start and a due date.
2
Assigned
It goes to a person in the right department, who is notified automatically.
3
Started
The operator starts the task. A session opens and the clock is real.
4
Paused and resumed
Breaks and interruptions pause the session, so idle time is not counted as work.
5
Completed
The task closes with actual worked minutes from its sessions, not an estimate.
6
Measured
On-time performance compares actual against planned, within your configured tolerance.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from a punch-in system?

A punch clock records attendance. This records work: which task, for how long, in sessions, measured against a plan. You get capacity and on-time data, not just presence.

Can department heads see only their own team?

Yes. Admin, head and employee are separate roles, and a head sees their department while an employee sees their own tasks.

What happens if someone forgets to stop a task?

Sessions are visible and editable by an admin, and the on-time tolerance setting prevents a single forgotten stop from distorting the reporting.

Does it handle leave and payroll?

The core focus is task and time management. Leave, payroll and document modules can be added - we scope them with you rather than assuming.
