orderbase Time Management

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central offers extensive capabilities for employee master data management, order processing, and production — but it does not include a built-in solution for recording working hours and operational data.

In practice, this creates gaps in visibility: attendances, absences, machine runtimes, and production quantities are tracked manually or lost altogether. Inaccurate time data leads to payroll issues, complicates capacity planning, and puts unnecessary strain on HR processes.

orderbase TimeManagement closes this gap with a solution fully integrated into Business Central — combining Time & Attendance (T&A) and Manufacturing Execution (MES/BDE) in a single, seamlessly connected interface.

Objectives

orderbase TimeManagement consolidates all time-relevant data in a single working environment within Business Central. HR managers and supervisors gain real-time visibility into working hours, absences, and machine runtimes. Intuitive terminals minimize data entry effort and empower employees to independently record times, activities, and absences — without switching systems.
