Pulse records who is on site and when. Employees clock in and out on the Pulse app, with an optional biometric check; managers see today at a glance, run roll call, review late and absent staff, approve leave and export the month for payroll. Consent notices for biometric capture are built into the app.

Exports reflect actual clock times, not what was written on a sheet.
Managers see patterns the same day rather than at month end.
Consent and a non-biometric alternative are part of the product, as POPIA requires.
Every NBS application signs in through Orbit: one account, hashed credentials, roles per person and per organisation, and a shared session across the suite. Data is hosted in ISO 27001-certified data centres over encrypted connections, backed up, and covered by the POPIA operator addendum in our subscription agreement. Specific to Pulse:
Pulse is hosted by NBS and delivered as a subscription. Updates, backups, monitoring and support are part of the service, and it works from any modern browser or the NBS app where one is provided.
Pulse is sold as a hosted subscription, priced per employee per month. Every plan includes hosting, backups, updates and support. Hardware is added on rental with replacement cover, and once-off items cover setup and training. We quote per client after a short scoping call, and adding another NBS application later only needs an updated schedule, not a new agreement.
