Time & attendance

The door swipe becomes your time terminal — on the phone people already carry

Operators stop bolting a separate clock system onto access: the same session that proves identity at the reader can capture punch intent, tie it to the underlying access record, and surface honest balances before anyone opens Excel.

After a successful entry at attendance-capable readers, people land in a phone-first punch experience — stamp in, out, or breaks without hunting a wall terminal or kiosk login.

Stamps can ride alongside the access audit trail so investigations reconcile “who opened the door” with “what time story we tell payroll” — fewer ambiguous reconciliations on Monday morning.

Live day and week saldo in the tenant timezone gives teams immediate feedback on worked time versus targets — before exceptions become emotional escalations.

Gap-aware flows highlight incomplete days, forgotten punch-outs, and open entries — operators correct with structured reasons instead of silent database edits.

Schedule presets still attach cleanly to grants and cohorts — time policy inherits the same identifiers visitors and security already trust for physical access.

Spotlight

USPs teams feel on day one

  • Phone-native capture — no dedicated hardware queue; the credential journey continues in the browser people already unlocked for access.
  • Access-linked lineage — attendance actions relate to reader truth instead of floating timestamps saved “somewhere else”.
  • Automatic gap signals — open days and dangling punches surface so HR isn’t the last to discover incomplete records.
  • Break-aware state machine — in / break / out semantics your reception desk can explain without shadow spreadsheets.
  • Tenant-local saldo — “today” and “this week” read in organisational time, not the employee’s travel lag.
  • Structured corrections — forgotten punch-out and adjustment flows carry rationale instead of mystery edits.
  • Schedule coupling — windows attach to grants so overtime and exceptions inherit facility-aware posture.

Depth

What the platform delivers

Mobile self-service stamping

Punch flows optimised for the handset — large actions, clear state, and balances that update after each save.

Door-session handoff

Turn a granted read into the natural moment to stamp time — fewer “I forgot at the lobby” patterns.

Live balances & targets

Worked minutes, breaks, and saldo surfaces for the day and ISO week — visibility before payroll cutoff.

Audit-coupled entries

Optional linkage to access audits preserves explainability when someone asks why a stamp exists.

Schedule presets & grants

Reusable windows bind to cohorts and locations — rotate shifts without reinventing rules per site.

Governed exceptions

Overrides carry intent — contractor windows, night shifts, and approvals stay narratable to auditors.

Motion

How rollouts stay disciplined

01

Mark readers

Decide which entrances participate in attendance — not every lane needs the same policy.

02

Pilot cohorts

Prove mobile punch behaviour with a friendly department before campus-wide cutover.

03

Tune signals

Review open-day patterns weekly — fix systemic gaps instead of one-off ticket fires.

04

Align payroll

Export or integrate using the same identifiers ledger and access reviews already recognise.

Outcomes procurement and HR recognise

Employees spend less time arguing about forgotten stamps — the session catches gaps early.

Security and workforce leads share vocabulary because time stories attach to physical access evidence.

Facilities reduce kiosk clutter — phones stay the primary interaction surface after policy allows it.

Auditors see structured corrections and preset discipline instead of ad hoc spreadsheet surgery.
