Time tracking
Central time tracking at the terminal
You no longer have to collect timesheets or dig out overtime afterwards.
- A fixed terminal in the entrance area or the office
- One device for the whole team
- Clocking in and out recorded with one tap
Time tracking for daycare centers and preschools
Hours under control – more headspace for your team
Your childcare staff do not sit at a desk – they are with their group, in a parents' meeting or out on the playground. With clockin they still record their working hours in seconds, while you in administration keep an overview at all times and handle leave, coverage and payroll export without paperwork.
