It starts with the software
A full attendance solution, not just a device
Plenty of suppliers will sell you a biometric machine. TimeChart gives you the system around it: the device captures identity at the door, and the TimeChart platform turns every check-in into scheduling, overtime, leave and payroll data you can act on — in real time, from anywhere.
Machines support fingerprint, facial recognition, iris and RFID, and suit offices, factories, schools, hospitals, construction sites and retail. Whatever you choose, you also get setup, payroll integration, onboarding and local support.

Device-based vs app-based
Which attendance method is right for you?
Biometric terminals suit fixed entrances. The TimeChart app — our prime offering — fits modern, mobile teams. Here's how they compare.
| What matters | Device-based Biometric terminal |
App-based OUR PRIME OFFERING TimeChart mobile app |
|---|---|---|
| Where staff clock in | At a fixed terminal | Anywhere, from their phone |
| Best suited to | Single-site, high-traffic entrances | Remote, field, multi-site & hybrid teams |
| Location proof | Tied to the device's location | GPS + geofencing verification |
| Upfront hardware | Terminal purchase & installation | None — just download the app |
| Setup time | Mount, wire & configure devices | Onboard in minutes |
| Adding new sites | Buy & install more devices | Add users instantly |
| Maintenance | Device upkeep & repairs | Automatic app updates |
| Works offline | Yes, at the device | Yes — syncs when back online |
Many businesses use both — terminals at the main gate and the app for everyone else. See Hybrid Attendance.
