How do you choose the ideal clocking system?
Physical terminals or digital clocking?
Choose whichever suits your needs ... or you can use both! Our professional clocking machines are fully compatible with our Kelio Time & Attendance management software. You can clock your working time on the Kelio terminal, or by using your smartphone, web-enabled tablet or via the Employee Self-Service on your PC.
What about staffing levels within my organisation?
Before deploying any physical employee clock-in system, you need to consider the staffing levels and size of your organisation. This will help you identify suitable sites to install a system and locate the ideal clocking points.
The range of Kelio clocking machines has been designed for and scaled to suit all sizes of organisation, from SMEs to multi-national corporations. It allows you to deploy one or multiple terminals at near or distant sites.
For Very Small Enterprises: we have developed a comprehensive, simple-to-use time clocking solution called TimeBox that is ideal for organisations with fewer than 20 employees.
What types of clocking-in machines does Kelio offer?
Kelio offers a complete range of clocking machines, including the Kelio Visio X7 touchscreen terminals, rugged Kelio Xtrem for harsh environments, biometric systems with fingerprint or facial recognition, and mobile clocking solutions. Each employee clock-in system can be customised with features like badge readers or proximity sensors to match your specific requirements.
How do modern clocking systems differ from traditional punch-card machines?
Modern clocking systems provide real-time data transmission, automated calculation of working hours, immediate anomaly detection, and integration with HR and payroll software. Kelio’s advanced clocking-in machines eliminate manual data entry, prevent buddy punching, enable remote clocking capabilities, and offer self-service options for employees.
What are the benefits of a biometric clocking-in machine?
Biometric clocking-in machines offer unparalleled security by using unique physical characteristics like fingerprints or facial features to eliminate buddy punching and time fraud. These clock-in systems ensure only the actual employee can register attendance, creating tamper-proof records while eliminating the need for badges or cards.
How does Kelio’s clocking system integrate with your payroll software?
Kelio’s clocking systems integrate with over 160 payroll packages through our Paylink interface, which automatically collects and transfers all attendance data directly to your payroll software. This captures regular hours, overtime, breaks, and absences without manual intervention, significantly reducing processing time and ensuring accurate payroll across all locations.
Can employees clock in using mobile devices with your systems?
Yes, Kelio’s employee clock-in systems support mobile clocking through our smartphone app and web portal. This allows employees to register attendance from anywhere – whether working remotely or travelling between sites. The mobile solution captures GPS data for location verification and integrates seamlessly with our core time and attendance software.
How do your clocking systems prevent buddy punching?
Kelio’s clocking systems prevent buddy punching through biometric authentication, two-factor verification, and anomaly detection algorithms that flag suspicious patterns. These comprehensive measures ensure your time and attendance records accurately reflect actual employee presence, eliminating time theft and protecting payroll integrity.
Are your employee clock-in systems compliant with GDPR regulations?
All Kelio employee clock-in systems are fully GDPR compliant with robust data protection, including encrypted storage and transmission, granular access controls, and configurable retention policies. For biometric systems, we use tokenisation rather than storing actual biometric data, ensuring maximum privacy while providing necessary documentation to support your compliance requirements.
Can your employee clock-in system handle multiple locations or remote workers?
Kelio’s employee clock-in system excels at multi-site operations and remote workforce management. Our centralised platform consolidates data from all locations and devices – physical terminals, PCs, and mobile devices. It gives managers complete visibility across the organisation while supporting unlimited sites with role-based access controls and location-specific configurations.
