dormakaba will launch SMILE, a mobile time and labor tracking app for its B-COMM™ HCM platform, at HR Tech 2026 in Las Vegas, October 20–22. The platform is used by more than 6 million people daily. Attendees can see the app at dormakaba Booth #7605.
SMILE gives employees another way to interact with B-COMM while staying connected to their organization’s existing human capital management (HCM) and enterprise systems. The launch comes as employers seek more reliable ways to support frontline teams. Research from Workday and DailyPay found that 70% of frontline workers consider mobile tools important to their work experience, but 53% are satisfied with the tools available to them.
