Attendance & Time
AWRA captures attendance three ways — a manual daily register, employee self-service clock-in/out, or CSV/biometric import — in one record. It adds shifts and weekly rosters, automatic late detection, overtime, correction requests, and timesheet approval and lock per pay period. Clock-in can be secured with device passkeys, GPS geofencing, and an office QR code.

Most support portals fail because they ask people to create an account before they can complain. What makes an intake channel people actually use, and the honest limits of a portal.

The kitchen loses money in percentages; the bar loses it in bottles. Nightly bottle math, pour discipline, empties fraud, and variance by shift.

For a firm that sells expertise, time is the only inventory — and the one form of stock that vanishes if you do not count it the same day. Utilisation, realisation, and where the hours actually disappear.
Delivery management — projects and tasks, Kanban board and my tasks, planning and Gantt, agile sprints, time and budget tracking, and flexibility (labels, checklists, templates).
Agile Delivery
Projects & Tasks runs agile delivery on the same tasks you track: a backlog and sprint-planning board, a per-sprint Kanban, story points, velocity across completed sprints, and a burndown computed from real completion times. Completing a sprint carries unfinished work back to the backlog automatically.

No mandate means the decision has to stand on operational evidence alone. Three honest positions including buying nothing, seven things worth scoring, and what a joint venture's attribution really costs.

A cost that lands nowhere lands in overhead — and overhead is where project profitability goes to hide. The four routes cost reaches a job, and the one-field rule that closes all of them.
AWRA Blog
Projects end twice — when the work stops, and months later when the last invoice and the last claim land. Why the reported margin is never the real one, the retention trap, and the one review table that changes future bids.

Customers return because you know their car, and that knowledge lives in a folder that gets lost and a mechanic who leaves. How far a registration-prefix convention gets you, and the declined-work note that is worth more than any discount.

Most project plans are tasks with dates typed beside them, which is a wish rather than a schedule. What dependencies buy you, why slack decides which delays matter, and the procurement lead time nobody records.

Kenyan businesses lose far more to slow payment than to bad debt, and chasing harder is rarely the fix. Most late payment is friction you created at invoicing — plus the escalation ladder for when it is genuine.

There is no unit of measure on an item and no fractional quantities, so 12.5 kilos cannot be stored. One rule resolves it — define the item as the smallest unit you ever transact — and one consequence reaches all the way into how freight is allocated.
