With clockin they record their hours right at the location, assign them to the event, and you can see set-up and take-down at any time, even with no signal.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

I have different temporary staff and freelancers at every event – how does time tracking work with changing crews?

Your crew clocks in with one tap in the smartphone app. For large teams you simply put up a QR code at the location that everyone scans – automatically assigned to the right event. Crews can also clock in together on one device, handy when not everyone has a company phone. For permanent locations such as your office you set up a tablet terminal, and for hours worked from home the browser is enough.

Can set-up and take-down hours be recorded separately from the event itself?

Yes, that is exactly what project time tracking is made for. You create separate phases for each event – for example set-up, running the event, travel time and take-down. That way you see which resources were tied up in which phase, you can cost more accurately and you can give your customer transparent proof. Breaks and waiting times are documented separately too.

What happens if there is no signal on the festival site or in the exhibition hall?

clockin also works offline. The app stores all hours locally on the device and syncs them automatically as soon as there is a connection again. On festival sites, in exhibition halls or at rural locations that is decisive – your team can always clock in, even with no reception.

How does clockin help with payroll for mini-jobbers and short-term staff?

You export all recorded hours straight to your payroll office or via the DATEV integration. With a lot of mini-jobbers, working students and short-term staff this saves you the error-prone Excel list and still gives you legally compliant records for every payroll run.

Can I use clockin just for individual large events or for external service providers?

Yes, clockin is completely flexible. You use it only for large events, for particular project phases or for external teams – exactly as you like. Temporary accounts for casual staff or subcontractors are possible too on the monthly subscription, without tying yourself in for the long term.

How quickly can I set clockin up for my next event?

You register, invite your team and get going straight away – in a few minutes. There is no training and no separate activation needed. The app is so simple that even casual staff can clock in immediately without a briefing.
