Attendance apps for Jeddah's branches, hotels, port teams and seasonal staff.

Each branch, hotel or warehouse gets its own boundary, sized for the building, so a clock in from the car park of the wrong mall is rejected. Managers see a live board of every branch with staff on shift, expected and missing. Mall branches with weak indoor signal can use a counter tablet instead.

Restaurant and retail staff often work a morning block and an evening block, and Ramadan night trading runs past midnight. The app treats a shift that starts one day and ends the next as one shift, and counts the gap in a split shift correctly. Night premiums apply only to the hours that qualify.

When a branch is short, a manager offers the shift to nearby staff, who accept in the app. The borrowed worker clocks in at the other branch, and their hours are charged to the branch where they actually worked. Managers can see who is nearby and already within their weekly hours.

For Umrah peaks, Ramadan and Jeddah Season, HR can add short term staff in bulk, give them a start and end date and limit them to specific sites. Their access expires automatically when the contract ends, so nobody forgets to switch them off. Their first login shows a short policy notice in their own language.

If a cashier or receptionist has not clocked in within a set number of minutes after the shift starts, the branch manager gets an alert and can call cover before customers queue. Repeated lateness is summarised for HR rather than reported line by line. Grace periods can differ for branches on congested roads.

Staff request swaps with a colleague of the same role, and the manager approves in one tap. The app blocks swaps that would break weekly rest or push someone into overtime the branch has not budgeted. Every swap stays visible in the roster history for later questions.

Logistics and ground handling teams working near Jeddah Islamic Port and the airport often follow vessel and flight schedules. Supervisors can extend shifts, call in standby staff and record the reason, so overtime is tied to the delay that caused it. Standby staff confirm availability in the app before they are called.

Annual leave, sick leave with an attached note, and short permissions to leave early are requested and approved in the same app. The attendance record knows the reason for each absence, so payroll does not deduct what was approved. Managers see upcoming leave when they build next week's roster.

Jeddah's hourly workforce is mixed, with Saudi staff alongside colleagues from South Asia, the Philippines and East Africa. The staff app runs in Arabic and English and can add the languages your teams read, with large icons for the main actions so a new waiter or housekeeper can use it on their first shift. Notices from HR reach every branch in the same languages.

At month end, branch managers confirm their hours, area managers review exceptions, and HR exports one file for payroll. The file is shaped to your payroll system or the template your finance team prepares before uploading wage data to Mudad. Area managers only need to review the exceptions, not every line.
