Cloud-based TimePilot Central 5: Clock in from anywhere on the planet!

Do you have employees working from home? Or do your employees spend part of their time in the office and part of their time working from home?

With the current upheaval in the workplace, it's difficult to keep track of your employees' work hours. Our newest software, TimePilot Central 5, works with our smartphone apps and hardware-based clocks to solve that problem.

Unlike our "on-premise" products, with our Cloud-based products you start with the management software, all-new TimePilot Central 5, and add methods for your employees to clock in and out. You have plenty of choices:

  • TimePilot Mobile, a free app for iPhone® or AndroidTM smartphones which allows employees to clock in and out anywhere. Their clock-out and clock-in data contains their GPS location, so supervisors can check their location in TimePIlot Central.
  • TimePilot PC, a free program that loads onto computers and lets employees clock in and out at their desks.
  • Or you can use TimePilot's hardware-based time clocks with iButtons (the same ones used for our on-premise systems): the touchscreen TimePilot Vetro, the rugged, weatherproof, battery-powered TimePilot Extreme Blue, and our pocket-sized portable clock, TimePilot Tap.

The highlights:

  • Clock in and out anywhere there's an internet connection. Check your data from anywhere, too!
  • Your data is kept safe and backed up continuously. No more worrying about data security!
  • All new TimePilot Central 5 management software adds vacation accrual, enhanced reports and a real-time in and out board.
  • No limit to the number of employees: It can handle 5 or 5,000 (or more!).
  • Includes free iPhone® and AndroidTM smartphone apps and free support.
  • Subscription-based: Monthly and annual plans available.

No remote employees?

Take a look at TimePilot's "on-premise" products. These products do not have a cloud-based database—instead, the database resides on your computer or server. These products include free support only for the first 30 days after purchase; unlike our Cloud-based products, they do not include free lifetime support.

With TimePilot Central 5, your employees can clock in and out at any smartphone using the TimePilot Mobile smartphone app, any computer anywhere running the TimePilot PC software, or a TimePilot Vetro clock cabled to a PC or server with an internet connection.

For example, if they installed TimePilot PC on their home computers in the suburbs and their work computers in the city, and the app on their smartphones, they can clock in or out at home, at the office or on the road, and their data will be stored in a database in the Cloud (a first for TimePilot!). A supervisor half a world away can log into that database and see their employees' work hours in real time using the new TimePilot Central 5 management software.

TimePilot Central 5, like earlier versions of the TimePilot software, is where you view the clock-in and clock-out data collected in the database. It's also where you generate reports and prepare the data for payroll. It prepares data in formats appropriate for the top payroll software and services, including QuickBooks and ADP. It's more streamlined than earlier versions and even more user friendly.

How does it work?

When employees clock in or out with TimePilot Mobile or TimePilot PC, the clock-in or clock-out data will be transmitted via the internet to the database, which resides on a server in the Cloud. Besides the employee's name and clock-in or clock-out time, the data includes the location where the employee clocked in or out.

When a supervisor wants to view their employees' transactions, they start the TimePilot Central 5 management software on their PC, which connects to the Cloud database via the internet.

From there, the supervisor can add delete or edit clock-ins and clock-outs, as well determine where the employee clock in or out. If an employee is using TimePilot Mobile, the supervisor can call up a map to view the exact locatioon (using GPS cordinates) where the employee clocked in or out. The supervisor can then generate a wide variety of reports and prepare the clock-in and clock out data in a format that can be read by many of the top payroll programs and services, including QuickBooks, ADP and Paychex.

With this system, your TimePilot database, which records all your clock-ins and clock-outs, will reside in the Cloud, not on your PC or on your server. There are several benefits to this:

  • The database can be accessed anywhere in the world, as long there’s internet access. For example, you could have data uploaded from phones in California and PCs in Illinois, and those transactions could be viewed and manipulated at company headquarters in Massachusetts.
  • Your data is kept safe and backed up continuously. This prevents the loss of your data if the hard drive crashes in your PC or server.
  • Your database will be safe from hackers: TimePilot uses Microsoft Azure, one of the world’s leading Cloud services.
  • You get free unlimited phone and email tech support from our support specialists.
