What Is clockin?

clockin is a time tracking and workforce management platform for businesses with office and mobile teams. It combines employee time tracking, project time tracking, shift planning, absence management, and digital project documentation.

clockin Use Cases

Based on our analysis of clockin's current capabilities, we have identified the following scenarios where it is well suited:

Property Management Firms With Limited Visibility Into Property Profitability

Property managers may struggle to determine which properties consume more staff time than their revenue justifies. clockin generates automatic reports per property, so managers can see, based on real data, where time is being overspent and export the findings as a PDF or Excel file. This helps property managers compare staff time with property revenue and make more informed portfolio decisions.

Farms Handling Leave Requests By Phone During Harvest Season 

During harvest season, farm managers may have to track leave requests manually when seasonal workers submit them by phone. clockin lets workers submit leave requests through the app and check their leave availability digitally. This gives managers a recorded way to review and approve requests without tracking each request manually.

Insurance Agencies Facing Frequent Questions About Hours Worked

When staff can't see their own hours, agency owners end up fielding repeated questions and disputes about time worked. clockin gives team members a personal area where they can check their hours at any time, with working hours documented in line with legal requirements. This gives employees direct access to their time records and can reduce routine questions about logged hours.

Architecture And Engineering Firms Seeking Better Visibility Into Project Hours

Architecture and engineering firms may struggle to determine how much time employees spend on individual projects. clockin lets employees assign their working hours to specific projects as they work. This can give project managers detailed time records they can use to review how much effort each project requires.

Is clockin Right For You?

If your business needs accurate employee time tracking with privacy safeguards, clockin provides a practical approach to monitoring working hours and locations. Its servers are located in Germany and are ISO and TÜV certified, supporting German and European data protection requirements. Its GPS records location only when employees or crews switch activities rather than continuously tracking their movements. This allows businesses to verify work locations while limiting ongoing employee monitoring in line with the German Occupational Safety Act. Additionally, companies such as USC Münster, Massarbeit Handwerk, Frintrop Consulting, and Oase trust clockin for their time tracking needs.

clockin Features

Time Tracking

The time tracking tool lets employees record clock-in, clock-out, and break times through the smartphone app, tablet app, or a PC browser. Travel time and business errands are also logged the same way. Project hours appear in a live overview. Work schedules also track overtime and absences, and GPS records work locations.

Team And Staff Management Tools

This set of tools covers employee records, absence management, and staff self-service. Digital employee files store contract data, development records, agreements, and other documents. Employees can request vacation, sick leave, and other absences through the app, while managers can approve or reject requests from the dashboard. The self-service area also lets staff view working hours, submit corrections, and manage requests.

See How It Works
Mobile Project Documentation

Field crews can use this functionality to document work on site through the mobile app. Digital checklists capture photos, entries, and signatures, while customer sign-off lets customers approve completed work in the app. The sign-off is automatically saved to the project and can be emailed to the customer.

See How It Works
Digital Project File

Project managers can access this capability to find documents, hours, and communication in a digital project file. The data is stored in chronological order. The file can be shared with customers by link or PDF. Add-ons for video documentation and call notes create records and to-do lists from recordings.

Office And Billing

clockin software gives businesses a way to review hours per employee and, if needed, per project in reports. Its customer management tools link customer data directly to projects and appointments, while the invoicing feature turns project hours into invoices automatically. Customer information is pulled into invoices directly, helping businesses avoid duplicate data entry.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does clockin meet German working-time recording requirements?

Yes. clockin supports employers with documentation requirements under Germany’s Working Hours Act (ArbZG). It also supports working-time recording requirements arising from European Court of Justice (ECJ) decisions.

Is my screen monitored when I use clockin?

No. Neither clockin nor your employer or supervisor can monitor your screen. clockin is designed to replace traditional timesheets and customer reports for recording working time and completed work.

Can clockin access my WhatsApp chats or other personal information?

No, clockin operates within its own environment and does not read content from WhatsApp or other apps on your smartphone. Running clockin in the background does not give it access to your private phone data.

Does clockin deduct breaks automatically?

Yes, clockin automatically calculates and deducts breaks from working hours based on the work schedule and legal requirements.

Does each employee need a smartphone with a mobile contract to clock in?

No, the crew feature lets multiple employees record their time using one smartphone, so each worker does not need a separate device or mobile contract.
