Time Clock

PeopleNet’s Optima Clock provides a comprehensive time capture solution with a 100% verifiable process. This product eliminates buddy punching by taking the employee’s picture when the fingerprint can’t be validated. All punches are stored on the clock until transmitted to the PeopleNet Data Center. The clock communicates to the Center at 30-second intervals, providing accurate and current punch information. Punch details can be viewed and managed with the PeopleNet’s Time Management Solution that allows immediate access to time cards, head count, and hours/dollar reporting via secure Internet access.
