INDIANAPOLIS, October 7, 2026 – dormakaba is giving organizations and their employees more ways to capture and manage time and labor across its workforce platform used by more than 6 million people every day. SMILE, the new app for dormakaba B-COMM™ HCM, will launch at HR Tech 2026, October 20-22 in Las Vegas. Attendees can experience the technology at dormakaba Booth #7605.
SMILE broadens the ways employees can interact with the B-COMM platform while remaining connected to the Human Capital Management (HCM) and enterprise systems their organizations already use. The launch comes as employers look for faster, more reliable ways to keep frontline teams productive. New research from Workday and DailyPay found that 70% of frontline workers say mobile tools are important to their work experience, while only 53% are satisfied with the mobile tools available to them.
Available immediately on Apple iPad, the rollout will extend to smartphones, other tablets, web clients, and physical terminals, providing a consistent experience across locations, roles, and devices. Optional facial recognition further simplifies clocking in and out and offers another authentication method.
“Every workplace requires a different approach to time recording,” said Mark Allen, Associate Vice President, Workforce Solutions at dormakaba Americas. “For more than a century, we have helped organizations manage workforce time. SMILE for B-COMM builds on that experience by giving our customers more choice in how they do it.”
Employees using SMILE can record working time, clock in and out, and manage breaks and meals within a single app. Labor tracking supports cost centers, jobs, projects, and worktags, while self-service capabilities provide access to messaging, attestations, and balance views. The solution supports SAP HCM and SuccessFactors, Workday, Oracle HCM, PeopleSoft, Sopra HR, and others.
