A QR attendance kiosk: just show the ID card

A tablet, PC or laptop at the entrance becomes the clock-in point. No phone needed, and attendance is kept while the internet is down.

An employee scans an ID card at a kiosk at the post

Problems you may recognise

  • Not every employee can clock in from a phone

    Field staff and shift workers often have no suitable phone to clock in with.

  • The time clock lives apart from the roster

    Data from the time clock has to be exported and matched with the roster by hand.

  • Office internet is not always stable

    When the network drops, attendance is lost or written down again by hand.

What you gain

  • ID cards with a QR code

    Cards are printed from the dashboard, one per employee, and can be reissued when lost.

  • Works offline

    The kiosk keeps attendance while the internet is down and sends it on its own once it is back.

  • Never recorded twice

    A rescan shortly after shows "already clocked in" instead of being taken as a clock-out.

How it works

  1. Set up the kiosk

    An admin creates a kiosk for the site and pairs it with a code on the tablet or laptop.

  2. Print the ID cards

    ID cards with a QR code are printed from the dashboard and handed to employees.

  3. Show the card

    The employee shows the card to the camera and the screen shows the name and time at once.

Questions about this feature

Which devices can be used?

A tablet, PC or laptop with a camera and the Chrome browser. The kiosk is paired once with a code from the admin.

What if the internet drops?

The kiosk keeps attendance and sends it once it is back online, within the limit the company sets.

What if a card is lost?

The admin reissues the card's QR code. The old card no longer works.

Does the kiosk take photos of employees?

Only at sites that switch on selfies, and only of employees who consented.
