Six reasons UK multi-site teams pick MakeMyOps over Deputy
Every client location has its own radius. Staff can only clock on when physically on-site — no ‘close enough’ fudging.
MakeMyOps is designed for people who work across many client sites — not a shift rota for one shop floor.

No hidden per-seat jumps to unlock features you already need. One clear price for UK operators.
Sites, clients, contracts and staff are the model. You don't have to bend a retail rota into a security contract.
Photos, timestamps and forms captured from the mobile app — no separate reporting tool to buy or bolt on.
