Time and attendance your staff can clock with any phone
Every branch gets its own QR code and geofence. Staff clock in and out with the TimeTap staff app (it installs from the browser — no app store) or by sending their WhatsApp location. You see who is in, on break, late or missing as it happens.
What you get
QR code per branch
Staff scan the branch QR code in the staff app. The location — and a selfie if you want one — is saved with every punch.
WhatsApp clock-in
Staff send their WhatsApp location to the TimeTap number and get an instant confirmation, matched to the nearest branch geofence. Works on any phone with WhatsApp.
Stops buddy-punching
Staff sign in with a one-time code sent to their own phone, geofences keep clocking on site, and selfies can be required on clock-in.
Live “Who’s In” board
Who is in, on break, late or not here yet — across all your branches, as it happens.
Late, absent and missed clock-out alerts
Managers get app notifications, WhatsApp or e-mail; staff get clock-out and break reminders.
Works offline
No signal? Punches are kept on the phone and sent as soon as the connection is back.
Double-tap protection
Accidental double clock-ins within seconds are ignored, so hours aren’t split into false missed clock-outs.
Who uses it
Retail & hospitality
Many small branches, shift workers and part-timers — one QR code at each till.
Construction & field teams
WhatsApp clock-in on site, checked against the site geofence.
Security & cleaning
Guards and cleaners on client sites, with alerts when a post isn’t filled.
Questions
Do my staff need to download an app?+
No app store is needed. The TimeTap staff app installs from the browser on any Android or iPhone, and staff without data can clock in with a WhatsApp location.
How do you stop people clocking in for each other?+
Each person signs in with a one-time code to their own phone, clocking is only accepted inside the branch geofence, and you can require a selfie with every clock-in.
Can I use it for several branches?+
Yes — unlimited branches, each with its own QR code, geofence, working hours and team leaders. Managers can be limited to the branches they look after.
What does it cost?+
TimeTap is priced per branch, not per employee, with a 14-day free trial and no credit card needed.
Features as of 7 November 2026.
