For decades, time and attendance companies have held agencies hostage with expensive, proprietary hardware. Clocks that cost $2,000+ and require a technician to install. Those days are over.

The Power of Commodity Hardware

Today's $150 Android tablet is more powerful than the $3,000 time clocks of ten years ago. Sync Time runs on any standard iOS or Android device. You can buy a tablet on Amazon, download the app, and have a fully functional biometric time clock running in 10 minutes.

Scalability on Demand

Need to spin up a new site tomorrow? You don't need to wait weeks for hardware shipping. Send a recruiter to Best Buy, pick up a tablet, and you're live. This agility is crucial for winning new business.

Offline Capability

Worried about WiFi? Don't be. Sync Time works offline, storing punches locally and syncing automatically once a connection is restored. Your data is never lost.
