On-Time Web Mobile™ brings the ease of use and power of the On-Time Web™ platform to your iOS mobile device. Once signed in under your user account, making a punch is as simple as opening the app and hitting a button! You can even make punches without an active internet connection and they will automatically be synced with On-Time Web when one is available. Create punches and browse recent punch history, all from your mobile phone while on the road or on the job site. You're always logged in so making the punch is fast and easy. On the job site and need to punch yourself and your 20 workers out for lunch? With On-Time Web Mobile™ the ability to clock in yourself and your employees is just a touch away. NEW: Expense tracking arrives to On-Time Mobile as an add on to our standard package. This tool gives employees the ability to easily enter expenses, attach pictures of receipts and submit them for approval all from their device. NEW: Want to keep track of who's at work, who's not, and what they're up to? The new In/Out Board functionality allows you to see the status of all your employees at a glance. NEW: Concerned about where your employees are making their mobile punches? With the addition of enforced geo-tracking you can choose to not let your employees record a time entry without having a valid GPS-provided location available. This way you can always be sure that time is recorded accurately. To enable geofence and geotracking capabilities this app utilizes the GPS in the background. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

PaperCut Hive makes printing convenient, responsible, and secure in your organization. We're all for flexibility. This app gives you the option to securely release your print jobs using your mobile phone. Of course, you can also release your job at the MFD/Printer touch screen as well. This mobile app just gives you one more option, and a touch-free one at that! To get the most out of this app, make sure you have an approved email invitation to use your organization's printers & MFPs. To release prints using your phone, simply tap your phone on an NFC sticker on the printer, scanning a QR code, or selecting the printer's name from a list. Did you forget to double-side the document? No problem, the PaperCut Hive app will remind you and allow you to make those changes on your way to the printer. PaperCut Hive makes it easy to print from all your devices including desktops, laptops, Chromebooks, and of course your iOS phone. See! You can use your phone for work too! Here’s how it works: - You’ll receive an invitation from your organization - It will guide you through the installation of this app as well as apps on your computers and other devices - You will then be able to select ‘PaperCut Printer’ when printing from any of your devices - This app also allows you to view your print jobs and securely collect your documents at any printer/MFD in your organization - Simply walk up to the printer and tap the NFC stickers, scan a QR code, or use the MFD touch screen. This app gives you a contactless/touch-free release method. Benefits: - Have you ever printed your payslip and had to run (sprint!) to the printer to collect it before anyone else does? Fixed! - Have you walked to the printer only to realise your document has gone somewhere else? Fixed! We call this find-me or pull-printing printing. - Do you forget to select duplex at the time of printing, but then feel guilty as you watch an endless stream of pages roll out? Fixed! - Confused by different print dialogues on different devices? BYOD? Fixed! - Need to set up printing on a new device and wish it could be as easy as installing a new app? Fixed! Have a question? Please email support@papercut.com or get in touch with the PaperCut Partner supporting you. Note: This app requires that your organization has an active and configured PaperCut Hive account and the PaperCut Hive embedded software installed on your MFDs. You should receive an invitation or instruction on how to set up this app from your organization. Your confidentiality is our priority. Your data is treated like we'd want our data to be treated. Check out our Privacy Policy for the full story. In fact your confidentiality is super important to us and that's exactly the reason we invented PaperCut Hive (and of course to reduce print waste and make printing easy).
