Mobile clock-in
Clock in from their phone, only at your store
Each person uses their own phone’s browser. A location check at the moment they tap makes sure they’re at the store, and nothing is tracked in between.
How it works
- Place the store on a mapPut the pin on your store’s door and choose how far around it counts as being at the store.
- Keep the location check onIt’s on from the start, under Settings. The phone’s location is sent once, when someone taps clock in, break or clock out.
- Clock inPeople scan the store’s QR code with their phone, or, if you let them, clock in from the phone alone inside the circle.
What you get
Location only at the tap
The phone sends where it is to Cronta at the moment of the tap, to show it’s at the store. Nothing is sent in between, and the notice for employees says so.
Each store its own circle
Every store has its own address and distance, so a punch always belongs to the right place.
At a store they don’t work at
Choose whether clocking in at a store someone isn’t set up for is allowed and flagged in payroll, or not allowed.
Without the QR code
On Pro and Business, let chosen people clock in from their phone alone. With the location check on, they still have to be inside the circle.
Their week on their phone
People see their schedule, hours, time off and documents, and can add their shifts to their own calendar.
Or a shared store device
No phone? A tablet at the counter takes name and PIN instead. See the tablet time clock.
Questions
Which phones work?
Any recent iPhone or Android phone with a browser. Nothing is installed from an app store; the page can be added to the home screen and opens like an app.
Can I require the store device?
Yes. You choose per business whether people may use their own phone, the store device, or both.
Does it track people outside work?
No. The phone’s location is sent to Cronta only when someone taps a clock button, never in between, and only if you require it.
Which plan do I need?
Clocking in with the store’s QR code and the location check are on every plan, Free included. Clocking in without the QR code is on Pro and Business. See Pricing.
