Clock-ins, time off, expenses, payslips and paperwork in a portal your employees use from their phone — and that saves HR half a working day every week.
What it is and what it solves
An employee portal is the self-service space where each worker sorts out on their own what used to go through HR: clocking in, requesting leave, checking a payslip, submitting an expense or signing a document. Kimobox's runs in the browser and in the mobile app, and shares users, permissions and traceability with the rest of the platform, so HR stops being the middleman and starts supervising.

Sage X3 integration
One employee record across both systems
The employee portal syncs with Sage X3's HR module: clock-ins, absences, contracts and payslips with no manual exports.
The employee requests, the manager approves, and the day balance recalculates automatically per the collective agreement, with no shared spreadsheet to maintain.

Corporate intranet
The company noticeboard, inside the same portal
Company news, notices and documents in the same portal where the employee already clocks in, with read receipts and segmentation by site or department.
Before Thirty to forty emails a week asking for a duplicate payslip, a leave balance or an absence certificate. Every one answered by hand.
After Those queries resolve themselves in the portal. HR only steps in where judgement is needed: a career break, a contract change, a genuine incident.
Shift-based manufacturing
Clocking in without a computer
Before A signature sheet in the gatehouse, transcribed into a spreadsheet by the supervisor at month end. Hours disputed on every payroll.
After A shop-floor terminal for production staff and a mobile app with geofencing for field staff. The hours balance calculates itself and the worker checks it whenever they want.
Engineering · multiple sites
Announcements nobody confirms reading
Before A circular emailed to everyone and no way to prove who opened it — awkward when the document is a health and safety protocol.
After Published in the portal with a per-worker read receipt and, where needed, an electronic signature. The dated evidence exists, which is exactly what the auditor wants.
Vocabulary
Terms that often get muddled
Employee self-service (ESS)
The set of tasks a worker completes without HR involvement. Its measure of success is not how many people log in, but how many queries stop reaching the department.
Time record
The daily log of the specific start and end time of each person's working day, mandatory in Spain since May 2019 and to be kept for four years.
Read receipt
Dated proof that a specific person opened a document. Not the same as a signature, but it does evidence effective communication.
Geofence
A perimeter drawn around a workplace or site. It validates that a clock-in happens where it should, without tracking the person for the rest of the day.
Onboarding
Bringing a new person on: contract, paperwork, equipment handover, access rights and initial training. Modelled as a flow, none of those steps gets forgotten.
Frequently asked questions
What people ask us before getting started
Does it work for staff without a computer?
Yes. Mobile app, a shop-floor terminal, or a kiosk with a PIN or card.
Does it connect to our payroll provider?
We export incidents and hours in whatever format your payroll advisor or software uses.
Does it comply with working-time regulations?
It keeps a tamper-proof daily record and can export it for the four years required.
Do you integrate with A3 or Sage X3?
Yes. We sync employees, contracts, payslips and absences with A3 Nom/Innuva and with Sage X3's HR module in both directions.
Can just one part be switched on?
Yes, and it is usually the wise move. Many companies start with time tracking, add leave a few weeks later and keep expenses and payslips for a second phase.
What does the manager see and what does the employee see?
The employee sees their own information. The manager sees their team, within the scope their role grants. HR sees the whole picture. Every query is logged.
Is there a native mobile app?
Yes, for iOS and Android, published on the App Store and Google Play, alongside browser access. They share user, permissions and data.
Does it replace the payroll program?
No. Calculation stays in A3, Sage X3 or whichever software you use. Kimobox gathers the period inputs, hands them over and distributes the resulting payslip to each worker.
How are leavers handled?
Marking the personnel record as a leaver automatically closes access to the portal, the app and the associated modules, and retains the history for the applicable legal period.
How long are payslips available in the portal?
For the period the company configures, respecting at minimum the four-year limitation period in the Spanish social order. The worker can download them at any time.
Try the portal with your own collective agreement
We'll show you the module running with data similar to yours.
Kimobox's employee portal centralizes working-time tracking, leave and absence requests, expense claims, payslip delivery and the signing of HR documentation, with mobile access and full traceability of every action.
Time tracking meets the requirements for a mandatory daily working-time record, supports web, mobile and terminal clock-ins, keeps records for four years, and generates the reports required for a labor inspection.
The portal also covers recruitment and hiring, training plans with their calls and exams, access control to facilities, and a corporate intranet, with direct sync with A3 and Sage X3 for payroll and HR data.
