Services · Ecommerce development · Employee attendance subscription sites
Our employee attendance subscription website development Birmingham work is for software companies that sell time and attendance to factories, warehouses, care providers and contractors across the West Midlands. We build the site that turns interest into revenue: plans priced on active employees or clocking points, online ordering of terminals alongside the subscription, purchase order approval for manufacturers, and billing that follows headcount as shifts grow and shrink. The aim is simple: fewer manual invoices, fewer billing disputes and a sales team free to sell.
We do not build the clocking app here. This is the commercial platform around it: pricing, checkout, contracts, invoices, collections and the account area your Birmingham customers use to manage what they pay for.

What we build
A manufacturer in Tyseley or a distribution operator near the M6 rarely buys software with a card on a Friday afternoon. Spend goes through a purchase order, a finance controller wants an invoice that matches it, and the operations manager wants terminals delivered before go live. At the same time, a small care agency in Erdington may want to start online in ten minutes. Your Birmingham subscription platform has to cope with both.
The features below reflect that mix. Each one connects to your billing provider and to your attendance product, so what a customer pays for is exactly what they can use. We agree in discovery which belong in the first release, and we write down which ones can wait. Many Birmingham vendors launch with metering, Direct Debit and purchase orders, then add the partner channel and hardware ordering once the core billing has run cleanly for a few cycles. That order keeps risk low while revenue starts flowing through the new platform early.
Your product reports how many employees clocked in during each billing period, and the platform bills on that count rather than a fixed seat number. Agency staff and seasonal pickers are counted only when they work, which suits Midlands employers whose headcount swings with orders.
Customers pay for real usage, and you stop arguing about seat counts.
Buyers add wall clocks, card readers or tablets to the order alongside the plan. One off hardware charges, delivery addresses per site and stock levels sit in the same checkout, while the software bills monthly.
One order covers the software and the kit on the factory wall.
A buyer can submit an order for internal approval, add a PO number, and pass a link to their finance contact who completes payment or accepts invoice terms. The PO reference prints on every invoice that follows.
Orders from larger employers stop stalling in accounts payable.
Payroll bureaux and HR consultancies around Birmingham often resell attendance software to their clients. We build partner accounts that place orders for clients, see their book of business and receive commission statements calculated from paid invoices.
A second sales channel without spreadsheets of partner commissions.
Customers commit for a year at an agreed headcount, and the platform compares actual usage at each quarter end, raising a true up invoice or carrying credit forward according to your contract terms.
Predictable revenue for you, fair bills for growing customers.
Straight after checkout the admin uploads an employee list, sets up sites and shift patterns, and books a training session by video. Progress is visible to your customer success team so stalled accounts are spotted early.
New customers reach their first payroll run faster.
When a customer returns a terminal or a billing error is found, your team raises a credit note against the original invoice with the correct VAT, and the ledger stays tidy for your accountant.
Corrections that stand up to a VAT inspection.
Separate pages for manufacturing, logistics, care and construction, each explaining the features and plan that suits that sector, written for search and linked straight to the right checkout.
Visitors from each sector land on the plan made for them.
Reminder emails before and after a missed Direct Debit or overdue invoice, then a read only mode set by your rules. Attendance history stays available so a customer can still run payroll while the account is resolved.
Cash collected without harming a customer's payroll.
Marketing tags for search and LinkedIn campaigns load only after a visitor agrees, as PECR requires for non essential cookies. Conversions are recorded at the moment an order is paid or a quote accepted, so you can see which campaigns bring Birmingham buyers who actually pay, not just those who fill in a form and disappear.
Marketing spend judged on paid subscriptions, not clicks.
Who this is for
Birmingham has a growing cluster of software and digital firms in Digbeth and the Jewellery Quarter, alongside professional services in the Colmore Business District. Attendance vendors here often sell straight into the region's manufacturing and logistics base, which buys differently from a London office. These four profiles are the ones we plan around most. If you recognise more than one, that is common, and the platform can serve several buyer types from the same billing engine with different plans and checkout routes for each.
If your buyers operate three shift factories or night time distribution, billing on named users makes little sense. We design metering, plan limits and overage rules that suit high turnover workforces, and pricing pages that explain them in plain words, so an operations director in Aston or Castle Bromwich can work out the monthly bill without calling you. Overage alerts warn the customer before a busy month pushes them into a higher band.
Pricing clarity reduces disputes at renewal.
Selling clocking terminals means stock, delivery, warranty and returns as well as subscriptions. We bring both into one ordering flow and keep hardware revenue separate from recurring revenue in your reports, so your accountant and your investors see the business clearly. Installation booking can follow the order where your team or a partner fits the devices. Warranty dates are stored per device so replacement requests are checked automatically.
Bureaux in Birmingham that run payroll for local employers can add attendance as a paid service. We build a branded site where each client subscribes, with billing that can sit on the bureau's own invoice or be charged separately, and approved hours flowing into the payroll you already process. That keeps the bureau as the client's single point of contact for the Birmingham employers it already serves.
Domiciliary care and supported living providers across the city have tight margins and commissioning bodies watching costs. They need simple monthly plans, clear invoices they can show to commissioners and payment by Direct Debit. We keep the commercial side simple so their admin staff spend minutes, not hours, on billing each month.
Working with us
We do not have a Birmingham office and do not visit sites there. Our team of 80+ in Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi runs workshops, reviews and acceptance by video call, with shared documents so your finance and product leads can comment between sessions. Most vendors start with a fixed scope build. After launch, a retainer covers price changes, new plans and integration updates, or you can bring in dedicated developers who join your stand ups. Codeeo has delivered 200+ projects across the UAE and the US and is rated 4.7 from 23 Google reviews; we will not claim more than that, and we would rather show you how we plan your billing model in the first session.
A defined build with a deadline
We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.
A product that keeps evolving
Named engineers who work your hours, join your standups and stay on the codebase. You direct the backlog; we own the quality of what ships.
Something live that needs looking after
A monthly block of hours for improvements, fixes and the small requests that otherwise wait months. Unused hours carry for a quarter.
Technology
Billing usually runs on Stripe Billing or Chargebee, with GoCardless for Direct Debit. Sites are built on Next.js, WordPress or WooCommerce where hardware sales need a fuller store. Accounting connects to Xero, Sage or QuickBooks. If you already pay for a billing tool, we work with it rather than replacing it for the sake of change.

Yes, because the main product renews, changes size and depends on usage.
A normal store sells something once. An attendance subscription has to renew, prorate, meter active employees, raise true up invoices and handle failed collections, while possibly selling hardware in the same order. The website, billing engine and your product need to agree on what each customer is entitled to. We design that agreement first, then the pages, so a sale made on your Birmingham site is billed correctly for its whole life. That is also why testing takes longer than for a simple shop.
