Retail Chain Minimizes Health Hazards with CloudApper’s Touchless UKG/Kronos TimeClock

In the retail industry, where employee well-being directly impacts customer service, prioritizing a healthy and safe work environment is paramount. However, traditional timekeeping methods, often reliant on shared touchscreens, can introduce unnecessary health risks. This was the challenge faced by one of the biggest US retail chains, serving millions of customers annually with over 300 employees.

Prior to the pandemic, they utilized touch-based biometric time clocks. However, with the emergence of COVID-19, the need for a more secure and hygienic timekeeping solution became evident. Their primary concern was minimizing health hazards associated with shared surfaces and potential virus transmission. They required a seamless, user-friendly, and affordable solution enabling touchless employee timekeeping.
