The company has witnessed continuous success and steady growth with various branches spread across the Middle East.

Al-Khodari Sons Company is engaged in widespread construction activities with 60 construction sites in the Middle East. Managing time-attendance, shifts, leaves and overtime of 20,000+ employees of multiple branches at the Head Office centrally was quite time consuming and a tedious task. Issues regarding placing palm as a credential in proper position on the previously used hand geometry recognition device used to trouble the workers. Hence, inaccurate attendance data led to inefficiency and employee dissatisfaction. Also, Working hours and overtime calculation of employees used to take around 10 days, thus delayed salary processing time.

It offers centralized attendance management solution for various branches spread across multiple locations. It automates all processes right from recording entries and exits up to processing salaries hence minimizes manual interventions.

Data gets pushed automatically in real-time from all devices to the COSEC CENTRA Server. The software generates reports and charts for faster and accurate salary calculation.
