Many times, clients prefer that crew members clock-in using approved-only devices. Many companies use devices such as an external time-clocks or approved equipment to provide better assurance to their clients about clock-in/out time from their workforce.
1) Cost to maintain 3rd party hardware
2) Duplicate data entry from time-clock to the payroll and invoicing system
The NextCrew Kiosk module gives you the freedom to choose any device with internet capability as a preferred hardware and offers real-time integration back to the time-sheet module as workforce clock-in/out. Optionally, NextCrew can also take a picture of the worker as they clock-in/out and these images can be reviewed by your client as they approve time-sheets.
Setup Instructions:
1. Provide the hardware (iOS or Android tablet, computer)
2. Retrieve your Client's IP Address
3. Navigate to your Client's page by going to the NETWORK menu then click on Clients
4. Scroll down to the White-list of IPs for Time Clock (please use above reference)
5. Click Add
6. Type in or copy and paste your client's IP Address(es) then click Add
7. Test kiosk by going to http://<companyname>.nextcrew.com/time-clock
Optional* Through third party service apps you can restrict the device to only allow the kiosk screen (not required but recommended)
Optional** You can also require the front facing photo at the time of clock in for each Crew Member
Troubleshoot:
If the Crew cannot see the job at the time of clock in with the Online Kiosk ensure that the IP Address is correct and that the IP Address has not changed.
