AI-first timekeeping

Ask your timesheets anything.

Every punch is recorded by face, card, phone or WhatsApp. Then HR asks a question in plain English and gets a number: who was late, who is in, who is heading for overtime. No reports to build.

Tough enough for the yard. Simple enough for the front desk.

Heat, dust, rain, gloves and masks. A clock at the door or a phone in a pocket, and every punch lands on one timesheet. These are live customer sites, and not one of them needs a supervisor standing over a sign-in sheet.

One minute, from the site to the payslip.

A clock that takes dust, rain and a drop. A worker clocks in. The timesheet fills itself, and the payslips are ready. Press play.

Seven ways to punch

Every worker can clock in. Nobody can clock in for a mate.

Pick the method that suits the site. Mix them on the same device. Every punch lands on one timesheet.

07:02

Facial recognition

Works in low light and with PPE: hats, glasses, masks and sunglasses. No cards to lose, no buddy punching.

TAP

RFID card & keyfob

A built-in reader on every device. Tap a keycard or fob and go.

outside

Geofencing

Draw an authorised zone around each site. Staff punch from the mobile app only when they are inside it.

Pinpad

A five-digit code on the device. The simplest fallback for busy shifts.

WhatsApp

Remote and mobile crews send a message to clock in and out. No app install needed.

DEPOT GATEScan to clock inIN 07:04

QR code

Print a code for any location. Staff scan it in the PunchClock app.

Desktop

Office and front-desk staff punch in from their own computer at punchclock.ai/desktop. A PIN and a one-time WhatsApp code the first time, then one click a day.

Ask PunchClock

HR asks. The timesheet answers.

PunchClock AI sits on top of every punch, shift and pay record. Ask in plain English from any page of your dashboard, and get a figure you can act on.

Leave, sick days and payslips, without the paperwork.

Timesheets

Timesheets that build themselves, and explain themselves.

Punches turn into hours, overtime, holiday pay and late reports as they happen. Managers fix exceptions, not spreadsheets.

1

Overtime and holiday rules built in

Set weekend, overtime and public-holiday rates once. Pay is calculated for every shift.

2

Exceptions waiting for you

Missing clock-outs, expiring permits and leave requests line up on your Today screen before payroll.

3

One-click payroll export

Weekly, biweekly or monthly. QuickBooks journal, Excel or bank file.

How it works

From punch to payslip, on one line.

Nothing is re-keyed. The punch that starts the shift is the same record that ends up in the bank file.

01

Place the device

A wall-mounted or handheld clock, anywhere on site. Runs on a data SIM or WiFi.

02

Staff punch

Face, card, PIN, QR, geofence or WhatsApp. Every punch is time-stamped and tied to its site.

03

Timesheets fill in

Hours, lateness and overtime are worked out the moment a punch lands.

04

Pay your team

Payslips, bank files and a QuickBooks journal from the same records.

Paper timesheet calculator

What are paper timesheets costing you?

Most sites lose around 20 minutes per worker per day to rounded starts, long lunches and early finishes. See what that adds up to.

Sectors

Built for places where a laptop login does not work.

Dusty, wet, dark, crowded or remote. If your staff wear gloves and masks, the clock still recognises them.
