Most organizations still rely on expensive, proprietary time clock kiosks for Workday Time Tracking — wall-mounted terminals that cost thousands per unit, require professional installation, and often become single points of failure. They’re slow, shared (raising hygiene concerns), prone to buddy punching, and difficult to scale or relocate.
A smarter, more modern path exists: Workday biometric time clock integration using everyday tablets or iPads.
With CloudApper AI TimeClock, you transform low-cost, off-the-shelf devices into secure, touchless biometric time clocks that integrate natively with Workday — no proprietary hardware, no long procurement cycles, no ongoing maintenance contracts.
Why organizations are moving away from traditional kiosks:
- Dramatic cost reduction — Tablets cost 70–80% less than proprietary Workday terminals (and you can reuse existing devices).
- Touchless & hygienic — Face ID (>99.5% accurate, works with masks, glasses, PPE) eliminates shared buttons and reduces infection risk — ideal for healthcare, food service, manufacturing, and retail.
- Flexible deployment — Place devices anywhere (break rooms, entrances, field sites) or let employees use their own phones — no fixed location required.
- Offline resilience — Punches are captured locally and sync automatically when connectivity returns — perfect for remote crews or sites with spotty Wi-Fi.
- Real anti-fraud protection — Biometric verification + optional GPS geofencing and audit logs stop buddy punching and time theft more effectively than PINs or swipe cards.
- Full Workday integration — Certified APIs sync punches, job transfers, labor levels, shift differentials, accruals, and more in real time or batches — no manual exports, no double-entry.
- Employee self-service — Workers view schedules, request PTO, check balances, and access pay info right from the same device — reducing HR support tickets.
CloudApper AI TimeClock delivers all of this without the complexity of legacy hardware vendors. It’s secure (encrypted connections, no stored biometric images, SOC 2/GDPR/CCPA compliant), easy to set up (no-code configuration), and scales effortlessly as your workforce grows.
