Time Point

What Time Point does

Time Point Ltd is an Irish software company founded in 1996 that delivers workforce management and HR solutions to medium and large organisations, primarily headquartered in Ireland. The company operates from a registered office in Dublin (Rathfarnham) with a sales contact line in Ireland and serves 1,000+ businesses across verticals including retail, hospitality, hotels, healthcare, construction, manufacturing, logistics, leisure, and services.

Its core product is Time Point Cloud, a unified SaaS platform organised into three suites. The HR Management suite covers employee records, onboarding, HR e-Diary task management, document management, digital signatures, GDPR workflows, staff messaging, performance alerts, and employee expenses. The Workforce Management suite covers rostering and scheduling, time and attendance, department and job tracking, holiday and lieu banking, absence management, flexitime, and payroll integration. The Clocking Systems suite spans proprietary hardware devices — biometric facial clocks, biometric fingerprint clocks, multi-protocol card/fob readers, smart tablet clocks, and mobile and desktop clocking applications — many with GPS and geofencing. The technology stack integrates with 50+ partners across payroll (Sage, Brightpay, Thesaurus, Quantum, Ceridian Dayforce, SD Worx), HCM (Workday), hospitality PMS (Hot Soft, Guestline), EPoS (CBE), and emerging categories such as earned wage access (Wagestream) and EHS compliance (Dulann).

Time Point generates revenue through annual SaaS subscriptions on a quote-based pricing model scaled to employee count, modules selected, and number of locations, supplemented by proprietary clocking hardware sales. The go-to-market motion is consultative enterprise field sales driven by demo requests, supported by an integration partner referral channel. Notable enterprise customers include Burger King (relationship of ~25 years), Penneys/Primark, Applegreen, Hertz, Citywest Hotel, Carr Golf, Kilsaran, and West Cork Distillers. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, no public revenue figures, and is presumed to be self-sustaining.

Emerging players

• Personio: Personio is a fast-growing European HCM platform targeting SMB and mid-market customers with HR, payroll, and increasingly workforce management capabilities. It competes in the same Irish/UK SMB and mid-market buyer persona as Time Point.
• Natural HR: Natural HR is a UK-based cloud HR and workforce management platform serving SMB and mid-market customers with HR, absence, and time tracking capabilities. It competes with Time Point in adjacent UK and Irish mid-market segments.

Broad incumbents

• Workday: Workday is a global cloud HCM and finance platform that competes in workforce management and HR for enterprise customers; Time Point's Workday integration positions it as a complementary WFM layer but Workday's own WFM module is a direct competitor for larger customers.
• SD Worx: SD Worx is a leading European HR and payroll provider with deep UK and Ireland presence and integrated workforce management offerings. It is both an integration partner and a competitor for mid-market payroll-plus-WFM deals.
• Ceridian / Dayforce: Dayforce (formerly Ceridian) is a global HCM platform covering payroll, workforce management, talent, and benefits. It is a partner of Time Point but also a competitor at the high end of the Irish market with continuous payroll and WFM.

Regional players

• Thesaurus Payroll: Thesaurus Payroll Manager is the leading Irish payroll software vendor and a Time Point integration partner with overlapping customers across Irish mid-market and enterprise. They compete and collaborate on bundled payroll + workforce decisions.
• BrightPay: BrightPay is an award-winning UK and Irish payroll software vendor and a core integration partner of Time Point. While not a direct WFM competitor, its payroll-only focus overlaps where customers bundle payroll and workforce decisions.

Direct peers

• Deputy: Deputy is a cloud-native workforce management platform focused on scheduling, time tracking, and shift-based industries such as retail, hospitality, healthcare, and construction. It competes head-on with Time Point Cloud for the same mid-market buyer with mobile-first rostering and clocking.
• UKG (Ultimate Kronos Group): UKG is one of the largest global workforce management and HCM vendors, directly competing with Time Point in time & attendance, scheduling, and HR for mid-market and enterprise customers. Both target shift-based industries like retail and hospitality with biometric clocking and workforce analytics.
• RotaCloud: RotaCloud is a UK-headquartered scheduling and time & attendance platform serving hospitality, retail, and healthcare with strong presence in the UK and Ireland. Both companies target similar multi-site shift-based businesses with roster, clock, and HR workflows.
