ClockOn VS GilFlow

ClockOn's answer

🏢 The Story Behind ClockOn

Founded in 1999

ClockOn began its journey after receiving a federal government start grant aimed at creating an affordable, comprehensive Time & Attendance, Rostering, HR, and Payroll solution for Australian small businesses

Evolving the Workforce Tech Stack

From those early roots, ClockOn has grown into a robust, award‑interpreting platform featuring:

• A configurable rule engine to automate award‑specific payroll settings
  
• Biometric fingerprint scanners & attendance kiosks for verified time capture
  
• The ClockOn GO mobile app for two‑way messaging, GPS check‑ins, and real‑time shift updates

Expanding into Outsourced Payroll

To support businesses when their payroll officers are absent—or simply for added convenience—ClockOn introduced a flexible outsourced payroll service, enabling them to step in at a moment’s notice

Recent Innovation: Integrated HR Module

In June 2025, ClockOn’s Pro plan added a fully embedded HR module. This new tier brings:

• Centralized employee records & document storage
  
• Leave management workflows
  
• WHS incident logging, visa checks, EEO/WGEA reporting
  
• Role‑based approvals and manager portals — all within the same unified system

That move reinforced ClockOn’s mission: to eliminate the inefficiencies of patch‑together systems and deliver a single source of truth for Australian workforce management

✨ Why It Matters

From helping pubs, pharmacies, and clubs consolidate up to 4+ disconnected tools, to ensuring payroll accuracy and compliance, ClockOn has stood out for its:

• Deep understanding of Australian award rules
  
• Focus on user‑configurable automation
  
• Local support, ongoing innovation, and both in‑house and outsourced payroll options
  

Today, based on the NSW Central Coast, ClockOn is trusted by SMEs across industries—offering a mature, scalable, and compliance‑driven workforce solution.
