Damastor launched the Picco time tracking system in September 2025, the first beta version for clients. Portuguese companies that tested the product before it was polished - from carpentry shops, laundries, small industrial units and hotels. Without them, the version we are launching would not exist.

What is new in Picco V1

1. Online time tracking in addition to physical

The RFID card at the Picco CS terminal remains the recommended method for factory floor and operational staff. But V1 also brings online time tracking for office workers and remote employees, running in parallel in the same system and dashboard.

2. Holiday, public holiday and absence management

V1 brings complete holiday management per employee, national and regional public holidays (Picco already knows that 24 June is a holiday in Evora but not in Lisbon), and absence management with justifications.

3. Department and role organisation

For companies with 30 or 100 employees, a flat list no longer makes sense. Now you can organise people by department (Production, Logistics, Administrative) and role (Operator, Line Supervisor, Maintenance). Reports filter automatically.

4. Direct export to accounting with 1 click

Instead of exporting Excel, attaching to email, writing to the accountant, waiting for a response - now there is a button that sends the formatted report directly to the chosen recipient. Works with PHC, Primavera, Sage and generic CSV export.

What is coming before end of 2026

• Picco FP - facial recognition and biometric reader terminal.
• Mobile app for employees: request holidays, send absence justifications, view hours balance.
• Shift management with automatic publication.
