As a company we are operators first and software developers second
As an SME ourselves, we passionately care about our customers, to provide them with the best solution in the marketplace.
About us
Real Time Data Solutions (RTDS) empowers SMEs with easy to use, highly secure HR software that reduces admin burden and manages legal compliance. With no hidden costs and unrivalled customer support, RTDS is the ultimate online HR system for staff holiday planning, absence management, HR documents, reporting, training management, and more.
RTDS started when founder Suhail Hasan realized a huge gap in the market for affordable Time and Attendance solutions which could be used alongside the latest biometric technology. As the name suggests, RTDS is all about providing data in real time. This allows you to make important decisions quickly which in turn reduces your overall payroll costs and creates a more efficient admin system
We have learned that the solution has to be simple – that’s why we focus on ‘all the best bits’ of HR software, delivering those key areas with excellence.
From day one, RTDS was built from the bottom up, working more or less entirely on feedback from customers and creating our software in a manner enriched by employment law.
When it comes to cutting costs and becoming more efficient - we are here to take a lot of the hard work out of the equation. This has been proven by our ever growing list of successful customers, who have aided us in creating the best Time and Attendance solution possible.
Our Mission
Offer a fully integrated Biometrics & HR solution, making manual time sheets and handwritten rotas redundant.
How We Started
We started 18 years ago to create a simple dashboard to manage and control payroll costs that could combine accurate recording of data and reporting.
What We Do
We help clients with complicated payroll requirements and multi tiers of staff, such as salaried staff, zero hours, shift workers and casual staff
Case Study
A growing business of 250 staff over 14 locations with payroll costs spiraling.
From 1996 to 2012, Tinseltown had problems ranging from fraudulent completion of time sheets, staff being paid when not in attendance, excessive breaks, rotas that were not set properly, wrong staff at wrong time and lateness were damaging the business, with no adequate management and control of costs. As no data was available in Real Time, Excel reports took too much management and Head Office time. It had to stop and it did when they switched to RTDS and the results were instantaneous.
