What nettime Solutions does

nettime Solutions is a Scottsdale-based software vendor that builds and sells stratustime, a cloud-based SaaS time and attendance platform founded in 1995 and relaunched in its current form in March 2013. The platform tracks employee hours across PCs, mobile devices, and POS systems, then transmits the data to payroll systems; modular add-ons extend the core product with Advanced Scheduling, biometric fingerprint and facial recognition time clocks, geolocation and geofencing, PTO accrual management, labor-cost forecasting, and an employee self-service dashboard. nettime integrates with over 60 payroll systems through flat file imports/exports and real-time web services, and supports hundreds of additional ERP and HRIS integrations via built interfaces. A 60-person risk management team monitors federal, state, and local labor law changes to keep the software current with wage-and-hour compliance requirements.

The company operates as a subsidiary or affiliate of Paychex, Inc., a $3 billion HR and payroll services leader, with corporate operations at Paychex's Rochester, NY headquarters. Its revenue model is annual SaaS subscription with tiered, modular pricing that scales with business size; the go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales (Talk to an Expert CTAs, dedicated phone line) with channel partnerships through HR providers including Paychex, PlanSource, and PDS, targeting small and mid-sized businesses as the primary segment across verticals such as restaurants, retail, manufacturing, healthcare, and mobile/distributed workforces. Customers span SMBs (HomeExchange.com), enterprises (University of Pennsylvania), and government (Bossier Parish Library).

The company maintains an active content marketing engine (blog, webinars, HR conference participation including SHRM Annual and HR Technology) and was recognized by Kings Research as a Top 10 Time and Attendance Software Solution Provider in 2024. Disclosed AI capabilities are limited to AI Powered Features that process structured time, attendance, geolocation, and payroll data alongside chatbots and digital assistants, framed as supporting rather than replacing human judgment; no proprietary models, patents, or research publications are documented. Revenue, funding (beyond a 2012 $1M Brookstone Venture Capital round), and detailed ownership stakes are not disclosed.
