No hardware. No buddy-punching. GPS-verified QR check-in eliminates time theft and costs nothing to deploy. No terminals, no fingerprint scanners, no per-device licenses.
Simple by design
Generate unique QR codes for each entrance, workstation, or site. Print them on A4 paper or order laminated signs. Each code is location-stamped — scan at the wrong site and the system flags it. Takes ten minutes from signup to live.
Workers open their phone camera and scan — no app to download, no PIN to remember. The system captures timestamp, GPS coordinates, and IP address to prevent buddy-punching. Late arrivals and absences are flagged automatically.
HR managers see live attendance across all locations in one dashboard. Approve timesheets, flag anomalies, and export a payroll-ready CSV for ADP, Gusto, or any other payroll provider. Save hours every pay period.
Everything included
Place QR codes at any entrance or workstation. Employees scan with their phone camera — no app required. Each scan records an exact timestamp and is tied to a specific location code so you always know where each check-in occurred.
Every scan captures GPS coordinates and the device IP address. Set a geofence radius around each site — scans outside the boundary are automatically flagged for manager review. Eliminates buddy-punching and remote clock-ins without on-site presence.
Build weekly shift schedules in the dashboard and publish them to employees via QR-linked schedule pages. Workers scan to see their upcoming shifts, swap requests, and coverage gaps. Managers get notified of no-shows in real time.
Lobby QR codes let visitors self-check-in without a receptionist. Visitors enter name, company, and host employee — the host gets an instant SMS or email alert. A signed visitor log is kept automatically for compliance and security audits.
Automatically calculate regular hours, overtime, and break durations from scan data. Set overtime thresholds per employee or role. Break scans track start and end times so payroll deductions are always accurate and auditable.
One click exports a payroll-ready CSV with employee ID, hours worked, overtime, and break deductions — formatted for ADP, Gusto, Paychex, QuickBooks, and any custom payroll system. Cut payroll prep time from hours to minutes.
Manage attendance across every office, warehouse, retail store, or construction site from a single dashboard. Each location has its own QR codes and geofence. Roll-up reports show cross-site headcount, on-time rates, and labor hours at a glance.
See who is currently clocked in, who is late, and which shifts have gaps — all updating live. Filter by department, location, or shift. Set automated alerts for tardiness thresholds, unexpected absences, or overtime approaching the limit.
