Getting Started

The Time Track App is an electronic time clock that populates the clock in and clock out times within the EBMS timecard.  The Time Track App should be conveniently located where employees can clock in and out when starting or leaving work. The App can be run on individual user's computers or be mounted in a central location for workers to clock in and out similar to a traditional time clock.  This time clock populates the clock in and clock out times within a worker's timecard. The solution also populates the timecard details lines using the work codes configured under a worker record.  Piecework details can be selected as well instead of allocating work codes.  The Time Track App is optimized to run on a touch screen device such as a tablet or touch screen monitor running MS Windows 10.   

Conveniently mount the Time Track App where employees can clock in and out when arriving or leaving work. The App can be run on individual user's computers or be mounted in a central location for workers to clock in and out similar to a traditional time clock.
