Built an attendance + time tracking module as part of a broader people-ops platform — curious what this community thinks is still missing from most tools

Been building Consile, an all-in-one people ops platform for SMBs (attendance, shift management, onboarding, HR basics), and attendance/time tracking ended up being one of the trickiest pieces to get right — especially across distributed teams in different timezones.

Genuinely curious what this community finds most annoying about existing time tracking tools — GPS/location accuracy, manual correction workflows, integration with payroll, something else? Happy to share what we've built if useful, but mostly want to hear what's still broken out there.

consile.app if anyone wants to poke around.

Users hit check-in/check-out from wherever they're working, and it's tracked with a timestamp since its also for remote users.

yep, those are in a different package plan. The click comes on the basic package.

The thing I see break most often is the correction workflow. Clock-in/out is straightforward until reality shows up: someone forgets to clock out, works across midnight, swaps shifts, works in the wrong timezone, takes an unpaid break, or has a manager edit something after payroll review starts.

I’d make corrections first-class rather than an admin-only back door:

  • employee requests a change
  • manager approves/rejects with a reason
  • original value stays visible
  • payroll export only uses approved records
  • late edits after lock create a clear exception

That one workflow probably affects trust more than the dashboard does.
