Nisanthan Sivarajah
Last position:
Business Intelligence Consultant (freelance) at NBIC – Nisanthan BI Consulting
Advising companies on building, migrating and optimising BI and reporting landscapes (Power BI, SQL, Python, ETL)
5 client engagements in real estate and finance since 05/2025: taking over and stabilising existing reporting, automating recurring standard and management reports, building cash-flow models
Proposal and feasibility assessments for BI and reporting projects
Using AI-assisted development (Claude Code) to accelerate automation, tooling and web/app development
Custom ERP system
Problem: A client's core processes ran on scattered, siloed Excel files with no central data storage – error-prone, hard to scale and impossible to analyse end-to-end.
Approach: Captured the business processes and requirements, modelled the data and developed iteratively together with the business team.
Implementation: Built a tailored, web-based ERP system with a central database, role-based modules and automated reporting – delivered using AI-assisted development in Claude Code.
Timesheet app
Starting point: Time tracking based on an overgrown, macro-heavy Excel template – maintenance-intensive, single-user and error-prone.
Implementation: Migrated all functionality and VBA macros into a standalone web app with central data storage, multi-user support and automated reporting.
Cash-flow modelling
Starting point: The existing cash-flow model covered standing investments only; project developments were missing from steering.
Implementation: Built and extended the CF model to include project-development cash flows.
Optimisation: Reviewed and optimised existing CF models and expanded the KPI outputs for reporting and steering.

About the technology
Core use
Time and Attendance covers the tools and processes used to record working time, breaks, shifts, absences, and overtime. Companies use it to keep clock-in data clean, support payroll, and manage attendance across sites, teams, and schedules.
Common setups
- Employee time clocks and punch-in flows
- Shift planning and roster rules
- Holiday, sick leave, and absence tracking
- Overtime, breaks, and approval workflows
- Payroll and HR system exports
System landscape
Work often touches SAP Time Management, SAP SuccessFactors Time Tracking, UKG, ADP, Kronos, and other time clock or workforce management systems. Strong specialists know how rules, calendars, devices, and master data fit together without breaking payroll output.
When specialists help
Companies bring in freelance experts when a rollout is messy, rules change, or an old punch clock setup needs cleanup. This is common in manufacturing, retail, logistics, healthcare, and office environments where shift patterns and local policies are strict.
What strong experts do
A strong specialist does more than enter settings. They map attendance logic, test edge cases, document exceptions, and work closely with HR, payroll, IT, and local site leads. They also spot gaps in data quality before they become payroll issues.
Germany context
In Germany, time and attendance work often needs careful alignment with local working-time practices, plant schedules, and multilingual teams. Companies may need on-site support for rollout planning and remote help for configuration, testing, and integration work.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to the questions that come up most around Time and Attendance.
Time and Attendance is used to record working hours, breaks, absences, and shift patterns in a controlled way. It helps companies feed reliable data into payroll, HR, and workforce planning. In practice, it often includes clock-in workflows, approval steps, and reporting for supervisors.
Time and Attendance often includes a time clock or punch clock, but it is broader than simple check-in hardware. The system usually also manages shifts, leave, overtime, and export rules for payroll. That is why many companies compare it with workforce management software, not just a basic terminal.
A strong Time and Attendance specialist may work with SAP Time Management, SAP SuccessFactors Time Tracking, UKG, ADP, or Kronos. They also need to understand badge terminals, mobile clock-in apps, and export interfaces. The exact mix depends on whether the company is focused on HR, payroll, or shop-floor operations.
A strong Time and Attendance professional usually brings HR process knowledge, payroll awareness, and integration skills. They should also understand master data, calendars, approvals, and exception handling. For larger rollouts, testing discipline and clear documentation matter just as much as the configuration itself.
The right level for Time and Attendance depends on the scope. A small cleanup may need one specialist who knows the current setup well, while a new rollout or system migration needs someone who has handled rule design, testing, and stakeholder coordination before. If payroll is connected, choose someone who can work carefully with edge cases.
Yes, many Time and Attendance tasks can be done remotely, especially configuration, testing, documentation, and integration support. On-site presence becomes more useful for device rollouts, shift workshops, and stakeholder sessions in plants or branch networks. For Germany-based teams, clear communication in English or German is often expected.
Look for a Time and Attendance expert who can explain how a rule affects real employee cases, not just system menus. Good signs include clean process documentation, careful handling of exceptions, and solid testing around overtime, absences, and approvals. Ask for examples of payroll-ready outputs and rollout support.
Companies usually bring in Time and Attendance help when payroll errors, poor attendance data, or unclear shift rules create risk. Other common triggers are mergers, new sites, system upgrades, or a move away from a legacy punch clock setup. These projects often succeed only when HR, payroll, and operations agree on the same rules.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used Time and Attendance in their recent projects is 109 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 872 € based on an 8-hour working day.
