We’re excited to share that TimeKeeper has joined Bright, a leading payroll and accounting software provider.

At TimeKeeper, our goal has always been to simplify the complexities around managing workforce time and attendance. Since our inception in 2018, we’ve helped customers get their timesheet processes back under control, reclaiming valuable time and money so they can focus more on what matters most: running their business.

Accurate time and attendance data is crucial for payroll processing for many businesses. It ensures that staff are paid correctly, on-time, and efficiently. At TimeKeeper, our goal has always been to make this process as smooth as possible.

Bright, already an established name in payroll solutions, shares our passion for delivering exceptional software and providing outstanding customer service.

This acquisition opens the door to exciting opportunities for innovation, efficiency, and integration. Together, we’re setting out to transform how businesses approach workforce management and payroll processing.

The integration between TimeKeeper and BrightPay will launch in summer 2025 and will allow users to capture employee hours via mobile apps, kiosk clock-ins, or facial recognition and feed them directly into payroll. This eliminates manual data entry, reduces errors, and ensures staff are paid correctly for all hours worked, including overtime.

Speaking of the acquisition, Sean Quinn, CEO of TimeKeeper said: "Since founding TimeKeeper in 2018, we've experienced incredible growth and have developed a product that we're truly proud of. Our customers span a broad range of industries, typically with field-based or variable hour driven workforces, including construction, hospitality, retail, and field services, demonstrating the adaptability of TimeKeeper where precise time recording directly impacts both operational costs and regulatory compliance.

Joining Bright marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for TimeKeeper. This combination opens new opportunities to innovate and expand. By integrating our products, we'll deliver greater efficiencies for our mutual customers, and with Bright's backing, we'll be able to accelerate development and introduce even more powerful functionality."
