Common Concerns
Making the decision to invest in a new employee time tracking and attendance system is a big step. We understand you might have concerns, and at Data Time Systems, we're here to help address them.
"I don't think I have enough staff to justify the expense"
For context, our lowest employee capacity license is designed for 25 employees, but we have active clients with as few as 6 employees. Only you can decide if the cost per employee justifies your objectives. If your team is as small as 2 or 3 employees, this system may not currently be the right fit for your business, and there may be free or more suitable options available elsewhere.
"Employees might see this investment in technology as unnecessary expense"
However, the true value lies in streamlining your systems and processes so your management team and system administrators can focus on more important, revenue generating initiatives While the technology directly benefits administrators and managers, it ensures payroll calculations are consistently accurate, which is an indirect yet significant benefit to all employees. The approach not on only improves efficiency but also helps your business to allocate resources where they matter most.
"What if it's still not worth the cost for us?"
Only you can decide if the time is right to make this investment. The best next step is to schedule a no-obligation call with our team to discuss your concerns and objectives in more detail. This will help you make an informed decision that aligns with your business goals.
And remember, our risk-free 100-day money-back guarantee ensures that you can move forward with confidence. We'll install and implement your system, and if you don't see the value, we'll refund your money. It's as simple as that. At Data Time Systems, we're committed to providing pricing and that reflects the value of what we deliver: tailored solutions, dependable support, and long-term savings.
If you're ready to explore how our system can save you time and money, let's start the conversation.
"What if we're locked into a system that doesn't work for us in the long run?"
Our solutions are designed with flexibility in mind. As your business evolves, our system evolves with you. From adding new features to accommodating changing workforce needs, we ensure the system remains as valuable to you both now and as your business evolves.
"Will the system work for my business?"
The answer depends on your objectives, but in every interaction so far, the answer has been yes. We’ve worked with clients across diverse industries to tailor our solutions to their unique needs. Whether managing complex shift patterns, tracking remote workers, or integrating with existing payroll systems, our customizable approach ensures the system fits seamlessly into your processes and delivers results.
Price | FAQ's
At Data Time Systems, we understand that cost is often one of the biggest factors when deciding whether to invest in a new employee time tracking and attendance system. So let's address some of the more common concerns we hear.
"What if it doesn't pay off?"
That’s where our 100-day money-back guarantee comes in. We’ll implement and install your clocking-in system, and if it doesn’t meet your expectations, we’ll work with you to resolve any issues. If you’re still not satisfied, we’ll refund your money—no strings attached.
"It's too expensive and not worth it"
Many of our clients initially felt the same way, but they quickly realized the system pays for itself. By reducing errors, automating manual tasks, and gaining better control over labour costs, businesses often see significant savings, both in time and money.
"I've seen much cheaper options online that look like they do the same thing"
While lower-cost solutions can be tempting, they often lack the reliability, customization, and support you need to make a real impact on your business. With Data Time Systems, you’re not just buying software, you’re investing in a stable, tailored solution backed by a dedicated team that ensures it works for your business long-term.
"How soon can we expect to see a return on our investment?"
Many of our clients experience tangible benefits within weeks. By reducing errors, automating manual processes, and saving time, the system quickly offsets its cost. To explore this in more detail, you can use our ROI calculator here to see how much you could save based on your specific circumstances.

We hear this a lot, which is why we prioritize simplicity. Our user-friendly interface is intuitive for managers and employees alike, and we provide comprehensive, personalized training to ensure everyone feels confident. Plus, our support team is always on hand to assist whenever you need it.
"We don't have time to look at this right now"

We specialize in handling unusual shifts, pay rules, and configurations. Our team works closely with you to design a system that fits seamlessly into your workflow, no matter how complex it might be.
"We've always worked this way, and it feels unnecessary to change now?"
While familiarity is comfortable, outdated processes can be costly and inefficient. Our clients often tell us they didn’t realize how much easier things could be until they switched. The improvements in accuracy and time savings are transformative.

The answer for every client project so far has been yes. Whether you need tailored scheduling, specialized reporting, or complex payroll integrations, our team works closely with you to customize the system to your exact specifications. For added reassurance, if we don't feel confident in meeting your needs at any point during implementation, we will communicate this clearly and with total transparency, suggesting the best next step.
"Will this system still work for us if we grow or scale back?"
Our solutions are built for scalability. Whether you’re expanding rapidly or adjusting to market demands, the system adjusts with you, ensuring it remains a perfect fit for your workforce.
What if my staff resists adopting new technology?
Change can be challenging, but our user-friendly design and targeted training ensure a smooth transition. By focusing on ease of use and demonstrating how the system benefits everyone, we help drive engagement from employees and managers alike.
