Attendance Tracking System in Sri Lanka – Why Gallery HR Is the Smarter Choice

Tracking employee attendance may seem simple — until it starts going wrong. Missed punches, manual entries, disputes over hours, and inconsistent logs are just the beginning. In Sri Lanka, many companies still use outdated methods that not only waste HR’s time but also create payroll and compliance headaches.

What’s worse is that businesses often don’t realize how much money they’re losing until it’s too late. Without accurate attendance data:

• Payroll errors skyrocket

• Productivity dips are harder to detect

• Shift management becomes reactive, not strategic

• Trust between HR, finance, and employees weakens

As a result, businesses that are actively trying to scale find themselves stuck firefighting basic operations, rather than investing time in strategic growth.

Common Bottlenecks That Kill Productivity

❌ Poor Data Visibility

Managers and HR teams lack real-time data on who is in, who is late, and which departments are underperforming in terms of punctuality. This slows decision-making and blinds leadership.

❌ Manual Time Entry

Time sheets and Excel logs introduce human error, and there’s no way to validate if data is accurate. Teams spend hours double-checking — and still make costly mistakes.

❌ Buddy Punching and Falsification

Without biometric or GPS validation, employees can easily manipulate check-in data. This leads to unfair labor costing and internal conflicts.

❌ Disconnected Systems

Attendance often isn’t linked to payroll, leave, or performance reviews — creating data silos and inefficiency.

“If your HR team is spending hours fixing attendance before every payroll, you’ve already lost ROI.”

Why Other Platforms Fall Short

Many so-called "attendance systems" are just digital versions of manual processes. They:

• Only track time — without linking it to payroll or leave

• Require separate tools for scheduling or biometric integration

• Offer little to no real-time dashboards

• Have poor support or lack localized features for Sri Lanka

Worse, some platforms charge extra for basic features like reporting or overtime rules. The result? A Frankenstein of tools with no central control.
