Software and AI agents run the repetitive 80% of HR for labor-heavy operations, so you keep about one coordinator instead of a full HR team. The work of an HR team, for a fraction of the cost. You pay only once the return is proven.
Optimized schedules and shift coverage, generated automatically for every site and every week.
Clock-in and clock-out through on-site cameras. No app, no badges, no buddy-punching.
Your first two months run free. You pay only after you've seen the return for yourself.
Built for physical, multi-shift workforces. One live loop replaces the HR admin that eats a manager's week.
On-site cameras log real clock-in and clock-out. No app, no badges, no buddy-punching.
A no-show or late start, and the schedule rebuilds and pulls in cover in real time.
The hours the cameras saw flow straight to payroll prep, overtime already worked out.
Swaps, absences and time off go through HourPace and land with whoever approves. The rota only moves once it's cleared.
No group chat, no guessing who's covering.
The system recommends who to pull in, on the spot.
Cross-checked against the rota before they're granted.
A back-of-the-envelope read on whether there's enough people-ops volume to justify automating it. In the diagnosis we validate it with your real numbers.
You tell us where HR and scheduling eat the week. We listen and see if there's something worth automating.
We map the people-ops tasks, systems and hours, and put an estimated return on the table.
We build and ship the first HR module. You run it on your own team, risk-free.
If the return is clear, we agree the model and keep going. If it isn't, you owe nothing.
No account managers between you and the build. Whoever pitches is whoever implements.
No advances, no retainers, no lock-in. Two months free to prove the return before any subscription.
The three founders do the work themselves, end to end. No account managers, no handoffs.
We don't bill by the hour. We run the HR work so your team doesn't have to.
If the return isn't clear, we say so and stop, at no cost to you.

|---|---|---|---|
| Who runs the admin | Software + AI, one coordinator | A full HR team, by hand | Your team still does the work |
| Schedules & no-show cover | Built and swapped automatically | Rebuilt by hand every week | Configured, but still manual |
| Attendance | On-site cameras, no buddy-punching | Paper, honesty, buddy-punching | Badges or app to roll out |
| Payment model | Pay only after proof | Cost of the salaries | Per-seat licenses upfront |
| Time to live | Weeks, run for you | Already yours, already slow | Months of implementation |
The whole offer, laid out plainly, so there's nothing to second-guess.
Not a pilot deck. Real operations, with the software live and doing the work.
A single franchised store.
We work directly with operators. The product is whatever measurably reduces their manual work.
HourPace automates repetitive HR work for shift teams: scheduling, attendance, shift swaps, absences, time off and payroll prep. Your HR coordinator still handles the human decisions; the system takes the repeated admin off their plate.
Setup takes up to two weeks. We handle the full process: sourcing and buying the attendance cameras, installing them on-site, connecting them to the system, configuring your scheduling rules and testing everything before it goes live.
There is no upfront risk. After the two-month trial, installation can be paid in one go or spread through the subscription over the first three months. You choose whichever option fits best.
No. The system is built for GDPR-compliant attendance management. Cameras only confirm attendance events, such as clock-in and clock-out. They do not record continuous footage, do not monitor productivity or behavior, and visual data used to confirm attendance is deleted daily.
The app is intentionally simple: employees can see their schedule, request shift swaps, ask for time off and submit absence requests. In Portugal, this can include absence justifications and documents. In other markets, the flow is adapted to local rules, especially around sickness and medical privacy.
Yes. Approved hours, absences and schedule changes connect with payroll, so your team spends less time retyping data and fixing errors before payroll review.
The person who remains responsible for HR checks everything before it becomes final. The system prepares hours, flags exceptions and removes repetitive work, but payroll, absences and sensitive decisions still have human review.
No risk, no difficult questions. You test it for two months; if it does not fit your operation, you do not continue. First we prove the value, then you decide.
Run the full product on your own floor. You only pay once it's proven.
We'll set up your floor and email you within 24 hours to start your two free months.
