VidiClockTerminal

Read full description

VidiClock Terminal turns a tablet or smartphone into the shared time clock for your business โ€“ at the entrance, by the register or in the staff room. Punching in takes seconds: type the 4-digit punch code, pick an action, done. The terminal only offers the actions that currently make sense โ€“ clock in, clock out, break start or break end โ€“ and confirms every punch with an easy-to-read receipt. FEATURES โ€ข Kiosk-style keypad: big buttons, clear display, automatic return to code entry โ€ข Context-aware actions: depending on the current status, only sensible actions are offered (e.g. no break before clocking in) โ€ข Personal overview after entering the code: name, current status (present, on break, absent) and the most recent punches โ€ข Offline mode: no connection? Punches are stored locally and submitted automatically later โ€“ nothing gets lost โ€ข Multiple terminals per company: each device signs in with its own terminal name (e.g. "front desk", "kitchen") โ€ข Bilingual: German and English, switchable right on the terminal โ€ข Light and dark theme FOR YOUR BUSINESS VidiClock Terminal is part of VidiClock, the simple time tracking and shift planning solution for small and medium-sized businesses. Punched times go straight into your company's VidiClock account: working hours, breaks and hour accounts are calculated automatically and managed conveniently on the web.

Signing in requires a VidiClock company account and a terminal login โ€“ your business can learn more and become a customer at vidiclock.com. Questions?
