All About TimePilot Tap

Gallery

The pocket-sized, battery-powered TimePilot Tap is the perfect choice if you're on the move and want employees to clock in and out with iButtons. You have two choices of software: With our Cloud Edition, the data is transmitted from your PC or server to your database in the Cloud; with our On-Premise Edition, the data is stored in a database on your server or PC.

Tap clock details

TimePilot Tap goes where other portable timeclocks are afraid to go.

The durable, battery-powered Tap is small enough and light enough to slip into a pocket or fit in a toolbox. It's also perfectly comfortable as a desktop time clock.

But like its older brothers from TimePilot (Extreme Blue and Vetro), it frees you from the time-consuming and error-prone task of calculating employee hours from timecards each week. And TimePilot Tap also prevents their alteration, as well as discouraging "buddy-punching."

How it works:

1. Each employee is assigned an iButton, a small device that fits on a keychain. (The Tap Starter Kit comes with 10; each clock can handle up to 2,000.) When the employee taps his or her iButton to the “In” or “Out” probe on the clock, the employee is identified and the time of the clock-in or clock-out is recorded.
2. At the end of the pay period, use the included USB cable to connect the Tap to your Windows PC running TimePilot software. The clock-ins and clock-outs are transferred from the Tap automatically. If you're using the Cloud Edition, the data will be sent to your TimePilot database in the Cloud; if you're using the On-Premise Edition, the data will be sent to your TimePilot database on your server or PC.

The Tap Starter Kit comes with your choice of TimePilot Cloud-Based Edition or On-Premise Edition software. To learn more about both versions of the software, click here.

In the TimePilot 5 management software, supervisors can edit or insert clock-ins and clock-outs, create reports by employee, department or location, or export the data to a spreadsheet or to a payroll service or software package like QuickBooks.

The sealed, rechargeable battery inside Tap is designed to not need a recharge for a year. However, whenever you use the USB cable to attach the Tap to the PC and download your data, the battery charges. Data is stored in non-volatile memory, which means that even if the battery was fully discharged no data would be lost.

We’ve designed the Tap system to be amazingly flexible. For instance, you can:

• Use more than one Tap at a time. You can run as many Tap clocks as you want and have all of them feed their data into the same TimePilot database. Employees can clock in or out at any of the clocks.
• Leave the Tap⁺ cabled to your computer to make it the perfect desktop time clock. All clock-ins and clock-outs are instantly sent to the database so you can see the data in real time.
• Use the Tap with other TimePilot time clocks. The TimePilot software treats clock-ins and clock-outs collected by any TimePilot clock the same, so you can, for instance, use Tap clocks on the road, Extreme Blue weatherproof clocks at job sites and Vetro wall-mounted clocks at your office. If you have the Cloud Edition, your employees can also clock in or out on their smartphones with the TimePilot Mobile app or at their desks with TimePilot PC.
