Time recording software instead of paper chaos
Every employee has access to his or her individual account via the browser or the time tracking app. With one click, time recording is started, paused and stopped at the end of the working day. Alternatively, time entries can also be created retroactively. As an administrator, you can determine which time recording options you want to give your employees.
The same applies to the type of time recording. In addition to a pure software solution, We also offer our terminal app, which allows you to turn a tablet into a digital punch clock.

The right hardware - or not
