The convenience of an online time clock

Back in business school (yes, more than a couple years ago), a professor explained what people generally want most... Convenience.

We all have stuff that needs to get done. Some of which we are happy to do, and some of which we would rather delegate.

But the convenience (using a product or service) comes at a cost. It's up to us to decide if it is worth it or not.

From our experience with time clock software, those looking for a time clock solution fall into two camps:

• Those who are willing to pay a monthly fee.

• Those who are not.

Currently, when it comes to time clock software, you can either pay a monthly fee for an online service, or purchase out-dated PC software... Or to add to that, free online software that is worth every penny you spend.

And be advised, any future software will probably not be going backwards in time.

Supporting PC software meant developers having to remotely log into your PC, Mac, or Linux desktop to fix things... They don't want to do that anymore. Whatever convenience there was in the past has now been replaced by web technologies.

But change is hard.

If you are in the camp not willing to pay a monthly fee, and not willing to change, it's okay. You can still get the job done. It's amazing how many companies still use punch clocks with paper time cards after all these years. Or maybe older software.

With online time clock software you get more. It is available from any browser, allows employees to clock online or using a phone, integrates with payroll, and comes with free support. A full package of convenience, at a reasonable monthly cost.

We have companies that have used us for over 10 years.

To them it's worth it.
