What is Time Clock Software?
Are you still using paper time cards, spreadsheets, or a legacy punch clock?

It’s a tool for businesses of any size that uses a mobile app or a dedicated terminal to capture verifiable time and attendance data, enforce work schedules, and export payroll-ready reports in minutes.
