Launch week: every idea card is free.Get Pro

SaaS ideas, mined from what people actually complain about.

Every idea comes from real Reddit posts, was researched against today's competitors, and survived an independent skeptic before it made the list.

Attendance Tracking Gaps

Organizations struggle to accurately track, document, and consistently enforce employee attendance, leading to disputes, understaffing, and administrative burden.

In their words

Hardware = easy. Software, doesn't seem to exist for non-enterprise environments.

r/sysadmin on Reddit

We've relied on WhatsApp updates and spreadsheets for a while, but it's getting difficult to keep everything accurate as the team grows.

r/workforcemanagement on Reddit

one thing our team didn't love was feeling like they were constantly being monitored

r/TimeTrackingSoftware on Reddit

Employees are being pulled into meetings and being asked to explain if the numbers show a variance.

r/CanadaPublicServants on Reddit

They have been arriving to work at 6am clocking in, then dipping to Starbucks across the street and coming back an hour or two later.

r/sysadmin on Reddit

I think this corporation really needs to have an automated attendance call in if this is gonna be the case.

r/CostcoEmployee on Reddit

If someone goes home early it's giving my team 6 points for job abandonment which is insane considering the the expectation of managing labor in this new system.

r/starbucksbaristas on Reddit

Grant reporting asks for attendance and I’ve realized ours is basically an estimate someone made up years ago and everyone kept using.

r/MuseumPros on Reddit

Is there any way that Teams could have just not reported their attendance?

r/MicrosoftTeams on Reddit

I'm literally physically still at work right now, why are you messaging me about currently being absent

r/AmazonFC on Reddit

we use Brightwheel, and at the end of the day when our two classes combine, the attendance is not consistently moved by management over to one list

r/ECEProfessionals on Reddit

looking at the report it's blatantly obvious that this worker didn't have time to drive from point A to point B

Why those fall short

  • main system hard to access; no verification of clock events
  • Not synchronized with HR leave system; ignores accommodations and off-site work
  • OOO requires logging in, impossible when too sick or laptop is in office
  • rules unclear, training inadequate, no accessible schedule printouts
  • does not stop them leaving after logging in
