What is Presence?
You can view who, of the Scheduled employees, is currently signed in.
Moreover, you can contact late or sick employees and quickly edit their shift for the day, all from directly within Presence.
Users of the Device Manager feature have quasi real-time data, as the clocking devices communicate updated punches with Indigo every 15 minutes.
