Clocking in machine: a tablet kiosk with card, PIN, QR or facial recognition
Replace your clocking in machine or time clock with a tablet: TramitApp modernises time management in your company with an affordable, flexible time and attendance system with no room for error.
- 4 identification methods on the same kiosk: QR, NFC, facial and PIN
- One dashboard for every site, with clock-ins from all your locations
- Shifts and absences on the same kiosk
What device do you need to clock in at work? Just a tablet
The kiosk's four identification methods work side by side on the same tablet: no need to buy a different machine for each one.
| Method | How staff identify themselves | Compatibility |
|---|---|---|
| Dynamic from the employee's app, or a fixed company code on the kiosk screen | Any phone or tablet with a camera | |
| Held up to the kiosk; programmed one by one or in batches, password-protected | Android 8.0 or later with NFC | |
| ‘Smile to clock in’, can also be triggered by voice | Android and iOS, tablet or phone with a front camera | |
| Personal code entered on the kiosk (also national ID, passport or RFC for Mexico) | Any kiosk device |
QR code clocking in
Scan a QR code and your staff clock in quickly and securely.
NFC card clocking in
A personal NFC card that works by holding it up to the kiosk. It's assigned or programmed right there, one by one or in batches, with a password.
Facial recognition clocking in
Contactless: the employee identifies themselves with the tablet camera, by voice or with a button. It's biometric data: in Spain, using it requires justifying that it's necessary and carrying out an impact assessment. In the demo we'll help you decide whether it's right for you or whether QR, NFC or PIN is enough.
PIN clocking in
Staff can clock in by entering their personal code on the kiosk.
Part of a complete time and attendance system. Clocking in machines and time clocks are just one of the ways to clock in with TramitApp. Discover the rest of the features of our clocking in system.

Clocking in machine FAQs
Which devices can I use to clock in with TramitApp?
With TramitApp each employee clocks in through the channel that suits them best: mobile app (iOS / Android), web from any browser, kiosk with QR or facial recognition on a shared tablet. Every channel writes to the same dashboard, so HR sees consolidated data whatever the device.
Do I need to buy dedicated hardware to start clocking in?
No. The TramitApp app works on the phone the employee already has and the web version on any computer. If you want a fixed point on the shop floor, all you need is a tablet connected to the internet with the app. No machines or time clock, no fingerprints and no installation: sign up and start clocking in the same day.
What's the difference between clocking in on a tablet and on a phone?
Clocking in on the tablet is for a fixed point shared by your whole team (reception, building site, shop): each employee identifies themselves with QR, NFC card, facial recognition or PIN, without needing their own phone. Clocking in on the phone is designed for people on the move: they use their own phone and add geolocation to the clock-in. You can combine both: the tablet on site and the phone for staff on the road.
What technical requirements does the device need for NFC card or facial recognition clocking in?
NFC card clocking in requires an Android device (not compatible with iOS) with NFC and version 8.0 or later. Facial recognition, on the other hand, works on both Android and iOS: all you need is a tablet or phone with a front camera and at least 3GB of RAM.
Can staff clock in with a PIN at the kiosk if there's no NFC card or facial recognition?
Yes. The PIN is a separate identification method: the employee enters their personal code directly on the kiosk, without needing an NFC card or a camera. On the same kiosk you can also switch on identification by national ID, passport or RFC (Mexico).
Does the same clocking in machine system work if I have several sites?
Yes. Each site can have its own kiosk, and TramitApp brings data from every location together on a single management dashboard, with REST resources to manage sites, teams and clock-ins via API.
Does the clocking-in kiosk work without an internet connection?
We have the option: the kiosk can clock in offline and sync the clock-ins once it's back online, although it isn't switched on by default. If your company needs it, tell us in the demo and we'll find the best solution for you.
