Abstract: Time tracking has long been a cornerstone of workforce management, yet traditional approaches—manual entries, punch cards, and batch imports from legacy systems—have often been plagued by inefficiency, inaccuracies, and compliance risks. By 2023, the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies with Oracle HCM Cloud Time & Labor (OTL) has transformed this function into a strategic capability. Smart attendance systems leveraging RFID, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons, and geofencing now feed real-time data into Oracle’s ecosystem, where Web Clock geolocation, REST-based time event ingestion, and Fusion Analytics ensure both operational accuracy and governance alignment. Beyond efficiency gains, these innovations enhance employee trust and experience by enabling seamless, location-aware, and mobile-first time capture while supporting compliance with global labor standards. This article examines the evolution of IoT-enabled time tracking, Oracle’s role in embedding intelligence into the time and labor lifecycle, and the broader organizational implications for agility, accountability, and workforce resilience..
