Vopak Horizon Fujairah Limited is a joint venture that operates a world-class, large-scale terminal for the storage and handling of petroleum products, representing a critical piece of the region’s energy infrastructure.
The Challenge
Vopak’s existing time attendance system was limited to a standard 24-hour shift cycle. This created a significant operational challenge in accurately tracking employees deployed on offshore ships, whose assignments often extended to 48 hours or more, leading to potential inaccuracies in workforce management and payroll.
The Solution Delivered by NestIT
NestIT collaborated with the client and technology partner Matrix to design and implement a bespoke solution that addressed this unique operational need.
Custom Software Development: We developed a customized 48-hour attendance tracking module capable of accurately recording employee shifts that span multiple days.
Seamless System Integration: The new module was seamlessly integrated with the customer’s existing access control hardware and HR management infrastructure to ensure data consistency.
On-Site Deployment & Training: Our team managed the full on-site deployment and provided comprehensive training to the client’s staff to ensure a smooth transition and user adoption.

The Results
- Achieved 100% accurate time and attendance tracking for all employees, including offshore teams on extended duty cycles.
- Streamlined workforce management processes, reducing administrative overhead and eliminating payroll discrepancies.
- Provided management with greater operational transparency and reliable data for strategic workforce planning.
