Robust Solution Accurately Tracks Working Hours and Absences; Provides Remote, Easy-to-Use Option for Businesses of all sizes and Their Employees to Preserve Health and Safety During COVID-19 Era
SÃO PAULO — FEBRUARY 15, 2021 — Oitchau, the most robust time and attendance platform available, today announced its expansion internationally into the Spanish market. Already established as the most innovative time and attendance platform, Oitchau’s extended reach represents the company’s rapid growth and the increased demand for a real-time, easy-to-use, touchless, and cross-platform time and attendance platform.
“Now more than ever, with so many working from home, it’s critical for organizations to have in place a solution that accurately tracks time and attendance so that employees are paid fairly and there are no discrepancies at the end of the month,” said Wando Wellinton, Brazilian Space Agency. “Oitchau is the only provider to deliver a touchless, real-time solution that keeps the on-site employee safe, while also ensuring fair compensation.”
Businesses face multitude of modern problems
Tracking time and attendance is simply a necessity of doing business. But it’s difficult to do well, especially for growing companies:
- Diverse rosters: As employee rosters get longer and more geographically diverse, companies must pay closer attention to who is working, and when, to ensure employees are productive, costs are reined in and compensation is distributed accurately at the end of the month.
- Time-off management: Managers must somehow track and approve myriad schedule changes or requests for time off for a growing number of employees.
- Legislation differs by country: In many countries, stringent legislation exists to ensure that employees are fairly compensated for the agreed-upon hours they work and that employers have some type of solution in place to track it all. Failure to comply can result in lawsuits or heavy fines.
- Ongoing pandemic: COVID-19 is introducing a number of hurdles that complicate how employees themselves can punch in and out. For example, so many employees work from home now and cannot make use of the traditional, physical time clock. For others still working in an office or factory, touching a time clock increases the likelihood that germs will spread.
Oitchau: A solution for today’s most pressing time and attendance issues
The Oitchau time and attendance platform is the result of years of R&D to create the most robust real-time solution available that addresses each of these concerns. Already used by thousands of companies in Brazil — one of the most complicated and heavily legislated markets in the world — Oitchau puts the business in complete control of managing employee working/extra hours to reduce excessive spending and fraud, while also fixing any discrepancies in real time. In fact, Oitchau customers on average have reported a savings of 1% to 4% in payroll costs.

- No touch needed: Oitchau’s touchless platform (using facial recognition and voice commands) ensures that on-site employees can remain safe from the spread of germs in the workplace.
- Easy integrations: Oitchau integrates seamlessly with multiple payroll platforms, making it easy to transfer employee hours to payroll departments.
- Anti-fraud: Measures are taken across all devices to help companies save money by avoiding fraud, including fraudulent punch-ins by associates or unauthorized punch-ins that misrepresent the number of hours worked.
“Tracking time and attendance is more complicated that it would seem, especially for growing companies whose employees are working remotely against the backdrop of a global pandemic. These factors all conspire to create chaos in regular business operations,” said Lonny Szneiberg, co-founder and CEO, Oitchau. “Oitchau delivers the only platform that has been designed to anticipate any possible issue related to tracking employee working hours and absences — which is increasingly important today, as we shift to life in the ‘next normal.’ Now, we’re excited to share our solution with businesses in the Spanish Market.”
