Staff & Time capabilities

Workshop staff clock-in and timesheet capabilities

Built so attendance runs itself on the floor and payroll starts from accurate records, not memory.

01

Clock in and out without paper

4 key capabilities

  • Staff clock in and out with accurate timestamps instead of a paper register or spreadsheet.
  • Every clock event is recorded against the employee for a clean attendance history.
  • See who is currently clocked in at a glance.
  • No more chasing signatures or deciphering handwriting at month end.
02

Kiosk mode on any tablet or phone

5 key capabilities

  • Run a dedicated kiosk on a shared tablet or phone at the workshop entrance.
  • Floor staff do not need their own logins, computers, or email addresses.
  • Optional NFC tags let staff tap to clock in and out in seconds.
  • Kiosk mode shows only the clock-in screen, never your workshop data.
  • No special hardware required: any modern tablet or phone works.
03

Timesheets by day, week, and month

4 key capabilities

  • Switch between daily, weekly, and monthly timesheet views.
  • See hours per employee with totals calculated for you.

05

Rules and accountability

4 key capabilities

  • Configure break and shift rules to match how your workshop actually runs.
  • Attendance records and reporting give you evidence when questions come up.
  • Role-based permissions control who can view and edit attendance data.
  • Time and attendance lives in the same system as your jobs, not a separate app.
