Less chasing. More understanding.
Turn “what happened?” into a useful next step.
Scattered timesheets and isolated activity reports only tell part of the story. Connect attendance, breaks and application use so you can see what needs attention and why.
Give HR the exceptions to review, managers the context to support their people, and business owners a clearer picture of the working day.
Before a check-in
Understand work patterns and distractions, then ask better questions with the full context.
Use workplace data transparently, with clear policies and review in context.

Designed & scheduled reports

Office apps on the Widget
Give people the small tools they use all day, from the same Widget. Company admins choose who gets each app.
- Job CardsFilled in on a paper pad and sent for approval; queries come back to the app, with a monthly report.
- Sticky NotesStick anywhere on the desktop and are saved to the portal.
- CalculatorA printing calculator with a paper tape to print, copy or save.
- WhiteboardColoured markers; opens and saves Excalidraw drawings.
Help Academy & Roxy
Short courses explain what every part of the portal does, for admins, managers and employees. Roxy, the help assistant, answers questions from those lessons and links to the one that explains it.
Remote support & agent operations
Open a smooth, high-frame-rate view of a PC or server from the Control Station and take control, with a file browser to move files either way. It all runs through the portal: no VPN and no open ports. Agent health, queues and signed, verified updates sit alongside.
Feature illustrations use example data. Available capabilities depend on the company plan and configuration.
Server Agent
Your servers, watched around the clock.
Install the Server Agent on Windows Server and see health, backups, antivirus and every change in the same portal as your people. It runs without anyone signed in, updates itself, and tells the right people when something needs attention.

Alerts that reach the right people
Critical alerts flash on the dashboard and are emailed to your company admins. Set thresholds and recipients for the company, a group of servers or one server; acknowledge, snooze or ignore what's normal; quiet maintenance windows; and a note when it's fixed.
Server reports, daily if you like
Put server health, alerts, disks, backups, antivirus, events and CPU trends on a designed report and email it every morning. Backup compliance and server productivity reports are ready made.
Unattended by design
A Windows service with nothing to click: it installs its own signed updates within minutes, waits while a backup runs, and only ever restarts itself, never the server. Give servers friendly names and group them.
Illustration uses example data. Backup, protection and productivity checks depend on the server plan.
How it works
A clear path to your first insight.
Configure the rules once, connect the team and turn live data into the view each manager needs.
-
Step 01
Configure the workplace
Create the company and departments, assign the plan, set clock defaults and define the app categories and keywords that fit the work.
-
Step 02
Connect the agents
Install the Windows agent on PCs and the Server Agent on servers with the company serial, or roll it out across the domain. Signals queue safely for delivery, and the agents keep themselves up to date.
-
Step 03
Review, report & support
Use dashboards, payroll, server alerts and designed reports to find exceptions, understand patterns and support the right follow-up.
Security & governance
Useful visibility.
Controlled access.
HR for I.T combines company and department boundaries, role-based portal access, authenticator 2FA, plan-controlled capabilities and retention settings. Pair those controls with a rollout that tells employees what is measured, why it matters and how the information will be used.
Plan a responsible rolloutTransparent by design
HR for I.T is not built for covert monitoring. We recommend clear communication, policy alignment and evidence reviewed in context.
Keep users and report data inside authorised company and department boundaries.
Let portal users protect their account with a QR-based authenticator setup and recovery codes.
Enable capture and reporting by plan, with configured retention for logs and media.
Review portal navigation audit records and agent health diagnostics without blocking normal work.
Company admins invite colleagues to the portal and choose what each role can see and change.
Agents install only releases signed by us, checked against their published SHA-256 before they run.

Common questions
Clarity before rollout.
Understand what’s included, how reporting works and what your team needs to get started.
Still have a question? Talk to our teamIs HR for I.T designed for covert monitoring?
No. The recommended approach is transparent reporting, clear internal communication, policy alignment and evidence reviewed in context.
What information can the platform collect?
Depending on the company plan and configuration, the Windows agent can report time, idle periods, applications, processes, supported browser URLs, screenshots and activity video. Capture features can be left disabled when they are not required.
Can HR for I.T monitor our servers?
Yes, with a server plan. The Server Agent runs on Windows Server as a service and reports health and performance (online status, CPU, memory, disk space and response time, network), automatic services, listening ports and the firewall, network adapters and reachability, shutdowns, important Windows events and every change. Depending on the plan it also checks backups and antivirus and scores how productively the server is used. Alerts show in the portal, critical ones flash on the dashboard, and they're emailed to the people you choose.
Which backup and antivirus products does the Server Agent check?
Windows Server Backup, volume shadow copies, Veeam, Azure Backup (MARS), SQL Server backups and Backup That Just Works. A job counts as overdue when it misses its usual schedule, which the Agent learns from its runs. For protection it checks Microsoft Defender (real-time protection, definitions, scans, threats and risky exclusions) and other antivirus products it finds on the server.
Does the Server Agent need someone to sign in or approve updates?
No. It runs without a signed-in user and installs its own signed, verified updates within minutes of their release. It waits while a backup is running, and only the Agent restarts, never the server.
How does timekeeping handle idle time and breaks?
Clock and break records are kept separately from activity. Idle time while clocked in is reported, but it is excluded from worked time, and managers can review missing-clock and payroll exceptions.
Can managers build their own views?
Yes. Users can arrange live dashboard widgets, while company reports can be designed from people and server widgets, with filters, saved layouts and PDF email delivery daily, weekly or monthly.
Does Essential Payroll include video meetings?
Yes. HR for I.T Meet is included in the Essential Payroll plan. Eligible employees can call colleagues from the Windows widget or schedule customer meetings with a public guest link. Meetings support audio, video, screen sharing and chat for up to eight people, including the host. Customers join in their browser and wait for host admission. Your platform administrator must configure and enable Meet before use.
Which computers does the deployed agent support?
The production agents are built for Windows PCs and Windows Server. The portal itself is browser-based. Additional desktop platforms are still being developed and are not represented as production-ready here.
Are the prices shown here final?
The slider uses the current plan prices configured in the portal. Prices exclude VAT; payment and any custom scope are confirmed before provisioning.
