TimeClock 365 vs. Hilan — Competitors?

Quick verdict: No. They work together. Here's how it works in practice.

Quick verdict:

Hilan = payroll calculation. TimeClock 365 = collects attendance data and sends it to Hilan. They're not competitors — they're one data pipeline. Many Israeli companies use both.

What does Hilan do?

Hilan is a comprehensive payroll and HR system: it calculates salaries, manages employment contracts and HR files, issues payslips, handles pension funds, and reports to tax authorities. It's a back-office system used by payroll managers and HR teams.

What Hilan doesn't do: it's not designed to collect attendance data from physical devices (biometric, NFC, smartphone). It needs someone to enter the data — either manually, or through an attendance system connected to it.

What does TimeClock 365 do?

TimeClock 365 is an attendance and access control system: it collects attendance data from biometric devices, NFC, Apple/Google Wallet, a GPS-enabled mobile app, and desktop. It calculates hours, overtime, vacation usage, and absences — then transfers everything to Hilan in the correct format. ISO 27001 certified. 12 languages. 20+ countries.

How do they work together?

1
Employee enters the building

Via NFC, biometric, or Wallet — TimeClock 365 records the entry

2
Throughout the day — automatic tracking

Hours, breaks, exits — all calculated automatically

3
End of month — export to Hilan

TimeClock 365 exports attendance data to Hilan in the required format — automatically

4
Hilan calculates payroll

Salary calculated based on accurate attendance data — no manual entry

What attendance problems do most Hilan companies face?

Companies using Hilan for payroll without a dedicated attendance system tend to experience:

  • Employees filling Excel spreadsheets manually — inaccurate, late, and open to manipulation
  • Payroll manager spending 10–20 hours per month on verification and adjustments
  • Average payroll errors: ₪600–2,000 per month for a 100-employee company
  • No real-time visibility — not knowing who is in and who isn't

TimeClock 365 solves all of these problems — and transfers the data directly to Hilan.
