While hardware time collection devices have been around since the 1880’s, today’s clocks include capabilities a 19th Century business owner could only dream of. This category of punching devices include clocks that use a PIN entry, card punch, or a proximity card/fob to identify an employee and record shift time. Unlike traditional punch clocks, these clocks integrate with advanced timekeeping software like WorkforceHub.
Customizable clock prompts allow employers to collect a wealth of information at punch in/out. This information can help any business become more agile and efficient. With dynamic, real-time employee time and labor data and reporting, smart managers can improve productivity significantly. It also helps businesses manage a large workforce with a relatively small management team.
A fixed employee time clock is a good choice for hospitality, manufacturing, warehousing and transport operations, call centers, industrial facilities, retail establishments, and traditional office settings.
Consider the advantages of a fixed hardware clock as part of a unified timekeeping system:
