Pulse

Time & Attendance. Fully cloud based. Proudly South African. Developed, Built and supported by NBS.

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.

Benefits

Why teams choose Pulse.

✓ Benefit

Payroll from real data

Exports reflect actual clock times, not what was written on a sheet.

✓ Benefit

Lateness is visible

Managers see patterns the same day rather than at month end.

✓ Benefit

Compliant biometrics

Consent and a non-biometric alternative are part of the product, as POPIA requires.

Security & compliance

Built to be trusted with your data.

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:

Biometric verification is optional; consent notices and a non-biometric alternative are built in as POPIA requires

Terms, privacy and POPIA notices presented inside the app

Managers see only their own teams; audit log of changes

Sign-up requests approved by a manager before an employee can clock

Standalone database per customer

Fully cloud based

Nothing to install. Nothing to maintain.

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.

Subscription models

How Pulse is priced.

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.
