A Time Clock With or Without Monthly Fees

There is a shop in Long Island that has been around for many years, Compumatic Time Records, who do nothing else but sell time and attendance systems.

If you want a good price on a traditional time clock or accessories such as ribbons and time cards, they are both friendly and knowledgeable.

They also have a long list of loyal customers going back for years.

Introducing the Compumatic XLS Bio v2

One of the products they sell is called the XLS Bio v2, a fingerprint time clock that is shipped with Compumatic's CompuTime101 time clock software.

In a nutshell, it is affordable and will last for years.

The clock mounts to the wall, and connects to your network via Ethernet cable or Wi-Fi, while the software installs on your windows PC.

As long as both your clock and the PC are in the same network, the software can download punch data from the clock.

And although there are no monthly fees, each clock comes with free support for 90 days. Beyond that, you have the option to purchase an annual support agreement.

Here are some of the features

• CompuTime101 PC software included
• Upgraded optical fingerprint sensor for wet, dry, and rough fingers.
• Color LCD display with an easy to use menu
• Built in keypad to allow PIN entry or supervisor functions at the terminal
• Multiple communication methods: Ethernet, WiFi, or USB Flash drive (drive sold separately)
• Saves punch data in the clock, downloads to CompuTime101 software
• Built-in relay to trigger external bell or buzzer (bell/buzzer sold separately)

About CompuTime101 software with no monthly fees

While the software itself works fine, and installs on the latest Windows OS, just know it looks... well... dated.

Even Compumatic will admit that.

To be real, there is nothing on the market that doesn't look dated... That is, if you want PC time clock software.

It's a matter of whether you want to own it, or have monthly fees.

In regards to features, CompuTime101 will handle most rules and reports as most time clock software, and is relatively easy to use... Just not through a web browser.

The online time clock upgrade

One huge advantage of the XLX Bio v2 is the ability to connect online with a simple configuration setting.

So instead of using CompuTime101, you could use the XLX Bio v2 with an online time clock system.

That way, you could access your software from anywhere, not just your office.

Conclusion

If you are in the market to purchase a fingerprint time clock, but are not sure about paying monthly fees, the XLS Bio v2 is a great compromise.

It will provide a good solution for any single-site business with a Windows PC and ethernet network.

But when you are ready to go online, your clock will be ready too.
