Maltese software company Shireburn’s Indigo Attendance, a powerful cloud-based software solution that simplifies staff rostering, scheduling, labour cost management and attendance tracking, has been shortlisted for the World Summit Award (WSA) 2021.

The World Summit Award is a United Nations Based Global award initiative selecting and promoting outstanding digital innovations with positive impact in society.

Experts in more than 180 United Nations member states nominate local solutions demonstrating global diversity and richness in the smart use of ICTs. With international events and meetings, WSA serves as a knowledge hub and network for academia, social entrepreneurs, corporates, start-ups, international organisations and many others, with the aim to contribute to the sustainable development goals of the United Nations.

From over 65 countries and 290 nominations, there were 119 shortlisted social digital solutions; Shireburn’s Indigo Attendance being the only Maltese solution shortlisted.

Shireburn took to LinkedIn to celebrate, saying “We're thrilled to share that Shireburn's Indigo Attendance solution has been shortlisted for the World Summit Award (WSA) 2021! The WSA shortlist 2021 provides a unique global selection of how digital applications work towards solving local issues.”

In a statement, it added: “Just over a year ago, Shireburn’s Indigo Attendance was named the best Cloud-Based Solution as a Service in the Malta eBusiness Awards 2020.”

Indigo Attendance helps companies to better manage their operations, integrating seamlessly with Indigo Payroll, allowing all data to be synced at the click of a button.

Indigo Attendance was first introduced to the market in January 2019, and has been continuously updated with new features ever since. It provides a unified solution for time and attendance management.

The solution aims to help reduce manual work and eliminate the chances of human error, whilst providing management with the opportunity to take more data-driven decisions.

“The benefits of adopting Indigo Attendance as a system is not only felt at a management level, but is also greatly felt at employee level,” Shireburn said. “Through integrations with Shireburn’s other software solutions, employees are able to view their schedules wherever they are, or have all clocking data instantly calculated at the click of a button, drastically reducing the strain on human resources.”
