From geolocation to error
correction
- In the first three months of use, employee registration and administration have not only been simplified, but some operational errors have also been identified and corrected.
- Employees use RFID badges to register, and 50 employees have also been enabled to register via mobile phones, allowing them to log in from any location and at any time.
- Geolocation can be used to check the exact location from which an employee has logged in or out. The system does not track the employee’s location at all times, only at the points of login and logout.
- The detailed breakdown of all types of remuneration and the automatic transfer to the payroll software contribute to further optimization.
- The system is fully GDPR compliant, recording and providing an overview of who has accessed employee data, when, and what actions were taken, as well as working hours data

Reduced paperwork, increased savings
“With the implementation of Time&Space, after years of testing various software solutions, we now have a reliable system for tracking working hours. It has given us the flexibility to manage all aspects of our working patterns, particularly shift work and annual leave recording."
"It was important for us to be able to continuously adapt the system we initially implemented to meet new needs. The Spica team is helping and supporting us in this process,” said Mirela Kotarac, HR Director at Cemex Croatia.
Cemex places a strong focus on improving business processes and automating certain functions. This is why they decided to optimize work scheduling, time and attendance tracking, and payroll management.
The company chose Spica Time&Space time and attendance tracking and access control solution to cover all these functions within a single software system, simplify HR process management, reduce paperwork, ease the workload for the HR department, and achieve savings with a comprehensive solution.
All features of the Spica solution at Cemex
The system covers several key areas: tracking employees’ working hours and managing access control across Cemex sites. It also enables shift and team leaders to control, review, and update working hours.
With Spica solution, it’s possible to define rules for shift work and employee schedules to support business planning. Additionally, supervisors in the HR department can record employee absences.
The automation of these processes ensures that time and attendance data is calculated within three days of the month’s end. Time&Space also calculates accrued working hours, which are automatically transferred to the payroll software. This streamlines the monthly payroll process, reducing the workload for HR and accounting staff.
Benefits of the Spica solution
Employees can register using
badges, ensuring that only authorized individuals can access the
work environment. The system is
modular, which means that new
modules can be added according to
the actual needs of the company.
Another key advantage is Spica’s
local support service, which provides
timely responses to requests and
enables quick resolution of any
system issues.
