Clover, the point-of-sale system from global payments and financial technology company Fiserv, has integrated workforce management capabilities from Homebase, a platform for small business team management. This collaboration aims to provide small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) with a comprehensive platform for managing daily operations, including employee oversight, to enhance efficiency and foster growth.

The enhancements embed Homebase’s scheduling, time tracking, and employee management features directly into the Clover Web Dashboard. This integration offers merchants a single interface for managing their operations.

Will Karczewski, Head of Clover, stated that the integration of Homebase’s tools into the Clover Web Dashboard delivers an all-in-one solution designed to reduce administrative tasks, allowing business owners to dedicate more time to customers and business growth. He noted that manual data entry can be a significant time burden for small business owners.

The integrated solution provides several advantages for SMBs. It offers unified workforce management by embedding Homebase’s time clock, scheduling, and timesheet solution directly into the Clover Web Dashboard. Businesses can optimize labor costs and potentially boost profitability through tools that help prevent early clock-ins and manage overtime expenses. The platform also aims to empower teams and enhance communication with built-in team messaging on Clover devices and employee self-service features for schedules and timesheets, facilitating communication and shift management. Additionally, it simplifies payroll processes through automated timesheet generation and easy export capabilities, which are intended to eliminate manual data entry and errors.

John Waldmann, CEO of Homebase, commented on the importance of technology that saves time for small businesses. He added that integrating Homebase’s team management tools into the Clover Web Dashboard enables businesses to manage team schedules, track employee hours, and access sales data from a single platform, thereby streamlining day-to-day operations and reducing the need for multiple systems.

The embedded solution is slated for a phased rollout beginning in August 2025, with hundreds of thousands of small businesses expected to benefit from the integration.
