Most time and attendance systems are priced for head offices: a clocking machine on every wall, a licence fee up front and a contract to match. Better Times runs on the smartphone your supervisor already carries, and you pay for the people who clock in each month.
Why small teams choose Better Times
- No clocking machine to buy. Most modern Android and iPhone handsets read NFC tags. We post you the tags, and the app is free.
- Pay as you go. A monthly base fee, plus as little as R18 per worker per month. When your team shrinks after a project, so does your bill.
- No long contract. You are billed monthly, for the month before.
- Works with no signal. Clockings are stored on the phone and sync to your portal when it reconnects.
- Ready for payroll. Better Times exports an Excel file already in PaySpace format, plus exports for Sage Pastel, QuickBooks and other payroll systems.
How it works
- Start your free trial and we set up your web portal.
- Download the free app onto your supervisor’s phone.
- We post the NFC tags to you.
- Your supervisor clocks each person in with a quick scan: 1 to 3 seconds per person.
- Hours and labour costs appear in your portal in real time.
Stop paying for time nobody worked
Buddy clocking and padded timesheets cost a small business more, in proportion, than a large one. Every clocking carries a GPS location, and facial recognition confirms the person, so you know who clocked in, where and when. Only approved users can edit a record, and every edit is tracked.
