Hundreds of staff, many buildings, one honest record.

Loaders, drivers and clerks on different clocks.

A morning of scanning, then a lifetime of records.

Farm, factory and kitchen hands need a second method.

Each method suits different hands and different sites.

People arrive on time when arrival is recorded and fair.

If someone is on the list but never on site, a terminal shows it.

From the box to a working terminal in a day.

When one person clocks in for another, you pay for time nobody worked.

Yes, with care. Tell your staff, protect the data, keep it for attendance only.

Network, time and user IDs: get every clock-in into your reports.
