ExakTime releases new PocketClock/GPS software

ExakTime added biometrics, equipment tracking and French support to its PocketClock/GPS mobile time clock.

Using a Smartphone or Tablet’s front-facing camera lens, FaceFront Biometrics snaps a photo of employees when they clock in and out –eliminating the risk of one employee clocking in for another. Bookkeepers can simply match employees’ field photos to their master photos stored in the office to verify ID’s.

“FaceFront Biometrics was developed with contractors in mind,” said Tony Pappas, ExakTime’s CEO. “A traditional biometrics solution can’t withstand harsh, outdoor environments contractors work in. Often, workers wear gloves or get their hands dirty, so relying on a thumb print would be impractical. Also, typical biometrics systems aren’t portable or battery powered, and they don’t travel with crews.”

The new equipment tracking feature helps contractors maintain a history of where their field equipment has been used and allows them to capture pictures, notes and voice recordings from the field and send to their office, allowing contractors to simply assign a piece of equipment to an employee and worksite, and the software tracks equipment for them.

Along with those additions, PocketClock/GPS software now has the ability to work in French, making it the first multilingual mobile tracking app.

Those three new features – combined with PocketClock/GPS’ existing real-time labor tracking, GPS tracking, special management tools, field notes and wireless syncing – give contractors and maintenance crews a multitude of tools they need in a mobile time clock app, all on the smartphone or tablet that they already own.
