HR & Payroll

A showroom runs on a large, shift-based, incentive-driven floor staff. ambar 27 handles the parts that generic HR software gets wrong for retail: attendance without a biometric vendor, advances against salary, and commission that comes straight off the sales the person actually made.

On-deviceFace recognition runs on your own server, no third-party vendor
PF + ESIStatutory registers generated from the same payrun
Sales-linkedCommission templates fed from live invoice attribution
LedgeredEvery employee has a running ledger, not a spreadsheet

Attendance without another vendor

ambar 27 ships a face-recognition service. Register an employee’s face profile once, and attendance is marked from a tablet at the staff entrance. No fingerprint scanner contract, no separate attendance database to reconcile against payroll.

  • Employee face profile registration with multiple descriptors per person
  • Recognition with a confidence score, so borderline matches are flagged
  • Attendance marking, attendance summary and monthly attendance views
  • Attendance imports for sites still running an existing device
  • Leaves with balances feeding directly into the payrun
  • Shift and floor assignment visible alongside attendance

Payrun, payslips and the statutory registers

One payrun produces the payslips, the payroll summary and the PF / ESI register. Because advances, incentives and expense reimbursements already sit on the employee ledger, the net figure is calculated rather than assembled by hand.

  • Payrun by period with a payroll summary before commit
  • Payslips generated per employee and printable or sendable
  • PF and ESI register from the same run, using salary components on the employee master
  • Employee ledger showing salary, advances, deductions and incentives
  • HR advances requested, approved and recovered against future salary
  • Employees report with joining, role, floor and status

Incentives that come from the sales ledger

Floor staff are paid on what they sell. ambar 27 attributes sales to a salesperson at the invoice line, applies commission templates by category or value, and produces an incentive statement the employee can actually check.

  • Commission templates by category, value band or flat rate
  • Commission employee mapping so only eligible staff are calculated
  • Incentive codes for campaign or period-specific schemes
  • Incentive statement per employee and incentive report across the floor
  • Sales without a salesperson reported separately, so nothing goes unattributed
  • Incentive value flows into the employee ledger and the payrun

Access is an HR question too

Who can approve a payment, void a sale, or see the margin report is a staffing decision, not an IT one. Roles, per-action permissions and separate report access let you mirror your actual org chart, and two-factor protects the accounts that matter.

  • Roles with per-module, per-action permissions across the application
  • Separate report access control, independent of transaction permissions
  • Channel scoping so branch staff see only their own branch
  • TOTP two-factor authentication on login
  • Activity log recording who did what, and when
  • User validation and controlled user creation

Reporting

What you can ask of it.

HR reporting sits behind its own access control, so floor managers can see their team’s attendance and incentives without seeing anyone’s salary.

Questions

HR & Payroll, specifically

Where does face data live?

On your server, in your database, as numeric face descriptors — the same place as the rest of your data. No images or biometrics are sent to a third-party service.

Can we keep our existing biometric device?

Yes. Attendance imports let you bring device data in on a schedule and run payroll from it, with face recognition available as an option rather than a requirement.

How is commission calculated on a returned sale?

The return reverses the attribution, so the incentive statement reflects net sales for the period rather than gross. The reversal is visible on the statement.

Can a floor manager approve their own advance?

Only if you give the role that permission. Approval rights are per-action and separate from the ability to raise a request, so segregation of duties is a configuration, not a convention.
