OPTimes. From the clocking terminal to the payslip, in the cloud.

The human resources platform we are deploying at ONATRA SA: attendance by fingerprint, palm, facial recognition or RFID badge, salary calculation and payslips. We also supply the hardware, install it, and manage it remotely.

What OPTimes does

Hardware, attendance, payroll — one chain.

Most organisations buy a clocking terminal from one supplier and payroll software from another, then spend the year copying between the two. OPTimes holds the whole chain: we install the terminals, they report into the platform, and payroll is calculated on actual attendance.

Biometric attendance

Fingerprint and palm reading
Facial recognition
RFID badge, for roles where biometrics are impractical
One person can be enrolled on several modes at once

Hardware

Supply and installation of ZKTeco and Hikvision kits — a service we also sell on its own
Remote fleet management: commands sent without travelling to site
Map view, table view and statistics view of the fleet
Enrolment tracked terminal by terminal

Time and absence

Schedules and rosters by department
Leave requests and approval workflow
Lateness, absence and overtime calculated from actual clock-ins

Payroll

Salaries calculated from recorded attendance
Payslips generated and archived
Statements for accounting and statutory bodies
Excel, PDF and CSV exports on every screen

Clocking in is not the real problem

OPTimes tells you who is not enrolled.

On a deployment of 7,724 staff, 6,241 were enrolled on no terminal at all and 232 appeared in the system with no fingerprint, face or card. Software that only counts the people who showed up leaves that hole wide open — and that is the hole the payroll leaks through. OPTimes measures it, lists it and exports it. That is where taking back control of a workforce actually starts.

Deployment

Six days, and your terminals run payroll.

A standard deployment, up to 500 staff and 5 terminals, is operational in under six working days, without interrupting activity.

01Day 1
We look at your fleet
Your terminals, headcount, schedules and pay scale. A one-hour conversation is enough to say what connects as it is and what needs hardware.
02Days 2 to 4
We configure and enrol
Server installed, terminals connected, schedules and pay scale configured. Fingerprint enrolment runs in parallel, department by department.
03Days 5 and 6
We train, then hand over
Two days of on-site training, online documentation, and dedicated support for the first six months.

Frequently asked questions

What management teams ask us.

How is salary calculated?

The engine combines your official pay scale (category, grade, step), the month's actual attendance, approved leave and closed missions, then applies income tax (IPR) in progressive brackets that you configure.

What happens when the power or the network goes down?

Clocking carries on. The terminal identifies the person and stores the clock-in in its memory; as soon as the link returns, it sends everything missing, with the real clock-in time. A record sent twice is counted once.

Is OPTimes suitable for a private company?

Yes. Pay scale, leave types, bonuses and tax brackets are configurable per entity. Private companies use it for attendance, overtime and payroll compliance.

What if we have several sites or entities?

A single instance runs several departments, campuses or subsidiaries, each with its own terminals, staff, pay scale and approval workflow. Their data never mix.

Where is our data hosted?

On your own servers, or with a host in the DRC. Fingerprints and payroll data never leave the country, and every creation, change or approval is written to the audit log.
