Managing 800 workers across 3 shifts is not an HR challenge. It's an engineering problem.
When the night shift starts at 22:00, your HR team is asleep. When buddy punching happens at the gate, nobody knows until payroll. When OT pushes a worker past the legal cap, nobody got the alert. Tanca runs the systems that keep your factory HR compliant — automatically.
Buddy punching costs you $180,000/year. You don't know it's happening.
A worker scans their card. Their friend gets paid too. At 800 workers, even 2% buddy punching = 16 phantom paychecks every week. Card scanners can't stop it. Camera AI can.
Worker hits 52 OT hours. Labor law cap is 40. You found out on payslip day.
No alert was triggered. Supervisor approved the extra shift without checking. Now you have a legal exposure and an angry payroll manager.
3-shift scheduling across 4 production lines. In Excel. Every week.
Manufacturing is the hardest scheduling problem in HR. Night shift, day shift, rotating shifts, line requirements, minimum headcount. It takes your HR team 2 days every week. Then someone calls in sick.
Production bonus + night shift differential + hazard pay + OT. One formula. Wrong.
Your payroll formula hasn't been updated since the labor law changed. Hazard pay is calculated on the wrong base. 847 workers. The error has been running for 4 months.
Machine operator working with a lapsed safety certification. Still on the line.
You don't have a system to track certification expiry across 847 workers. The supervisor didn't know. The health inspector did.
Payroll for 1,000 workers takes your team 3 full days every month.
Different rates for each shift. Night differential. Production bonus varies by output. Every line has different allowances. Every month the same calculation marathon.
From factory gate to payslip. Every step automated.
Tanca connects AI camera attendance at the gate, 3-shift scheduling on the floor, OT compliance monitoring, production-linked payroll, and safety certification tracking — in one fully integrated platform.

OT Compliance Monitor
Real-time tracking of every worker's overtime hours against legal caps. AI alerts supervisors before a worker hits the limit — not after.
Production-Linked Payroll
Base pay + night differential + hazard allowance + production bonus + OT — all calculated automatically from actual hours and output data.
Safety Certification Tracker
Track every required certification: machine operator license, hazmat handling, forklift certification, first aid. 30-day expiry alerts. Block scheduling if lapsed.
Multi-Plant Command Center
Compare headcount, OT%, production output per worker, and compliance status across all your plants in one executive dashboard.
