Cloud-based time recording
Cloud-based time recording is a modern form of working time recording in which employee time and attendance data is stored and managed in a cloud infrastructure. In contrast to conventional local systems, a cloud-based solution enables location-independent use and real-time access to data. This means that companies can dispense with expensive hardware and the installation of local software, enabling a cost-efficient and scalable time recording solution.
How cloud-based time recording works
In our cloud-based time recording solution, employees' time stamps, breaks, absences and overtime are automatically stored in a secure cloud. The data can be accessed immediately by authorized users, such as HR managers or team leaders, and can be viewed, analysed and exported at any time. Thanks to central data storage and real-time reconciliation, the cloud enables a high level of accuracy and transparency, which is particularly beneficial for decentralized teams.
Advantages of cloud-based time recording
- Location-independent: Time recording is possible from any location and device - whether in the office, home office or on the move.
- Automated updates: Software updates and new functions are installed automatically without the need for local installations.
- Real-time data access: Managers and HR departments can view working times in real time, making planning and administration easier.
- Data security: Reputable providers rely on the highest security standards and encrypt the data in order to comply with data protection regulations.
- Cost efficiency: Cloud solutions are often more flexible and cheaper than local systems, as only the actual scope of use is paid for.
Time recording via app
Mobile time recording with an app is an important component of cloud-based time recording. Employees can use a smartphone app to record their working hours directly, start or end breaks and document absences. This is particularly useful for mobile workers who frequently work from different locations. The time tracking app connects to the cloud and synchronizes the data in real time, eliminating the need for manual post-processing.
Application examples
Cloud-based time recording is suitable for companies of all sizes and industries. While they are ideal for large companies with many locations for the central management of working times, small and medium-sized companies also benefit from the flexibility and reduced hardware costs. Typical areas of application include construction, field service, healthcare and all industries in which employees work remotely or have flexible working hours.
Cloud-based time recording offers a flexible, secure and cost-effective solution that improves both the management of working times and transparency within the company. Time recording in mobile apps is made even easier and more flexible for both employees and HR managers.
