If you are a micro, small, or medium business, tech savvy and familiar with SaaS solutions, you can set everything up yourself with our cloud solution for tracking time and attendance (SPICA All Hours). That said, we are always here to support you.
Every SPICA All Hours plan includes in-app chat and email support. We also provide our customers with access to our online help center, how-to documents, regular webinars, videos, and best practices. Please take advantage of these resources if you encounter an issue you cannot resolve on your own. We have also created this guide to help you get started with self-service.
