Custom Employee Timeclock App
Accurate time tracking and payroll exports without heavy SaaS
We built a lightweight PIN-based timeclock so a small business could capture hours accurately, let managers correct records, and export clean payroll reports.
Client type
A small business with hourly staff and managers who needed simple time capture and reliable payroll exports—without buying an oversized workforce platform.
Problem
Hours lived in spreadsheets, which meant payroll disputes, hours of weekly reconciliation, and weak trust in pay accuracy. Off-the-shelf tools were too expensive or complex for the team size.
Manual time tracking
What we built
A web timeclock accessible from any device: PIN clock-in/out for employees, a manager dashboard for edits and oversight, and CSV payroll exports. Built with Vite + React + TypeScript, FastAPI, and Supabase with role-based access.
We piloted with five employees, wrote short manager guides, then rolled out to the full team.
