Unique Feature

Turn Any Tablet Into a Time Clock โ€” No $400 Hardware.

PIN-based kiosk mode runs on any shared tablet or iPad. Employees enter their PIN, the system captures a photo for verification, and the punch is recorded. Eliminates buddy punching without biometric hardware. Setup takes minutes. Costs $0.

PIN In. Photo Taken. Punch Recorded.

A simple, fast, fraud-resistant clock-in experience that runs on hardware you already own or can buy for $100.

PIN Entry

Each employee receives a unique PIN assigned by an administrator for secure and accurate attendance tracking. At the kiosk tablet, employees simply enter their PIN using a clean and user-friendly keypad interface. The system instantly recognizes the employee and prepares the attendance process within seconds. This streamlined clock-in experience improves speed, reduces confusion, and helps businesses maintain secure workforce identification without requiring complicated login procedures or expensive biometric hardware at every work location.

Photo Capture at Punch

As soon as an employee enters their PIN, the tablet camera automatically captures a photo for identity verification. This visual confirmation ensures the person clocking in is the actual employee assigned to the PIN, helping businesses eliminate buddy punching and attendance fraud. The captured photo becomes part of the attendance record for future verification and accountability. This simple but effective verification process improves workforce transparency, strengthens attendance accuracy, and provides businesses with reliable proof of employee clock-ins without relying on fingerprint scanners or biometric devices.

Instant Punch Recording

Clock-in time, employee identity, captured photo, and work location are instantly recorded and synced to the managerโ€™s real-time dashboard within seconds. Using live WebSocket technology, attendance updates appear immediately without manual refreshes or delays. Managers can monitor employee activity as it happens, improving visibility and workforce oversight throughout the workday. This real-time attendance tracking system helps businesses respond faster, maintain accurate workforce records, and ensure smooth operations across offices, job sites, warehouses, and remote work environments.

Runs on Any Tablet

The kiosk system works on iPads, Android tablets, Amazon Fire devices, or any tablet equipped with a browser and camera. Businesses can enable kiosk mode using built-in guided access or device kiosk settings without needing expensive proprietary hardware. This flexible setup allows companies to create affordable attendance stations using existing devices while maintaining secure and reliable workforce tracking. Easy deployment, lower hardware costs, and broad device compatibility make the solution ideal for businesses of all sizes and work environments.

Live in Minutes. Not Days.

Setting up kiosk mode doesnโ€™t require an IT department, a support call, or a technician visit.

Enable in Settings

Enable kiosk mode directly from your company settings and customize PIN requirements, photo verification, and employee kiosk access permissions. This flexible setup allows businesses to control how employees use the kiosk system while maintaining secure and accurate attendance tracking across different work locations and departments with minimal configuration effort.

Assign Employee PINs

Administrators assign unique PINs to each employee for secure kiosk access and attendance tracking. All PINs are securely stored using bcrypt hashing technology, ensuring they cannot be viewed or extracted even if someone gains unauthorized database access. This advanced security approach helps businesses protect employee credentials and maintain safer workforce management systems.

Lock the Tablet

Use built-in guided access or kiosk mode settings on tablets to lock the browser directly to the Cloud Time Manager kiosk screen. Employees cannot exit the attendance interface, browse other apps, or access device settings, helping businesses maintain a secure and distraction-free clock-in experience on shared workplace devices.

Mount and Go

Mount a tablet to the wall with an affordable holder, connect a charger, and your employee time clock is ready to use within minutes. Businesses can reuse existing tablets or purchase a low-cost device instead of investing in expensive biometric hardware, reducing setup costs while maintaining reliable attendance tracking.
