Which time clock fits a team spread across job sites?
An honest look at the four common choices. Each one fits some teams; here's where ShiftFence is different.
| ShiftFence | Paper / wall clock | HR suite | GPS tracker | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Works at many sites | Yes, a boundary per site | One fixed spot | Varies | Yes |
| Stops off-site clock-ins | Checked on our servers | No | Sometimes | Often on the phone only |
| Tracks all day | No, only at the punch | No | Varies | Yes, continuously |
| Records can't be edited | Yes, fixes are added, original stays | No | Usually editable | Varies |
| Setup | Done for you | Buy hardware | You configure it | You configure it |
| Hardware needed | None, workers' own phones | Clock or sheets | None | None or devices |
| Price | $150/mo for 40 workers | Low, but no proof | Per user, per feature | Per user |
Common questions
- Is ShiftFence a GPS tracker?
- No. It reads location once at clock-in and once at clock-out to confirm the worker is inside the site boundary. Optional on-shift check-ins exist only if the company turns them on.
- Why not a paper sign-in sheet or wall clock?
- Paper can be filled in by anyone, and a wall clock only works at one fixed door. ShiftFence works at every site, on the worker's own phone, and keeps records nobody can edit.
- Why not a big HR suite?
- HR suites cover payroll, benefits and hiring, but are often set up by you and priced per feature. ShiftFence does one job well, and our team sets it up for you.
- Who sets it up?
- We do. Every site boundary, worker account and schedule is configured by our team before you go live.
