How CloudApper replaces InTouch hardware without touching your UKG setup

Same punch data. Same UKG system. Just a tablet on the wall instead of a terminal.

1

A tablet takes the terminal's place

The tablet takes the exact physical spot an InTouch DX, 9100, 9000, or 4500 used to sit. Employees see the same clock-in screen and get the same facial-recognition match — no badge, no buddy punching, no new habit to learn.

Software does the hardware's job
2

CloudApper handles what the terminal was built to do

CloudApper captures the punch, job transfers, and cost-center changes the terminal used to handle, plus attestation if you need it. Offline punches are stored on the tablet and synced automatically — nothing waits on a supervisor.

Native UKG API, real-time
3

UKG receives the record through the same integration

The punch writes to UKG Pro, UKG Pro WFM, UKG Ready, or UKG HRSD through UKG's native API — the same method InTouch used. Timekeepers, payroll, and managers see no difference in how the record arrives.

“InTouch hardware goes off the wall. Your UKG workflow stays exactly as it is.”

Side by side

UKG InTouch hardware vs. CloudApper on a tablet

Both connect to UKG and deliver accurate punch data. The difference is what it costs to add a location, replace a unit,
or roll out a new capability.

 Dedicated InTouch terminalCloudApper on a tablet
Cost per clocking location Hardware purchase, installation, and service contract per unit Software subscription on a tablet you already own
Adding a new location Hardware order, lead time, on-site installation Deploy from app in hours, on any tablet, at any location
When a unit needs replacing RMA process, lead time, a shift punching on paper Any tablet, reconfigured the same day
Adding a new capability Firmware release, vendor roadmap Configured by your team, same day, no code
Employee self-service at the clock Limited to what the terminal shipped with PTO, schedules, shift bids, HR questions

What you get

Everything UKG InTouch does, and everything it doesn't

CloudApper delivers accurate UKG-connected time capture plus the self-service features most InTouch deployments don't include, on hardware you can pick up at any electronics store.

Touchless face check-in

Employees clock in with face recognition, with no badge, PIN, or physical contact needed.

Geofenced & offline capture

Location-verified punches at remote sites. Syncs automatically when connectivity returns.

PTO, overtime & accruals

Employees check balances, request time off, and view accruals, all at the clock.

Shift bidding & swaps

Open shifts, swap requests, and schedule changes handled without supervisor involvement.

24/7 AI assistant

HR policy questions answered instantly at the clock, in the employee's language.

UKG system integration

Punch data flows directly into UKG. Your timekeeping workflow stays exactly as it is.

Compliance documentation

Attestations, mandatory acknowledgements, and break confirmations captured at punch time.

Any tablet, any mount

Works on iPad, Android, wall-mounted units, or a desktop stand. Any broken unit gets replaced from any electronics store today.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Does CloudApper work alongside my existing UKG InTouch terminals?

Yes. CloudApper and InTouch terminals run side by side in the same UKG environment. Many customers deploy CloudApper for satellite offices, break rooms, or remote sites while keeping InTouch hardware at their main facilities. Both feed the same UKG instance.

Which UKG InTouch models does CloudApper work with?

CloudApper connects directly to UKG Pro WFM (formerly Kronos Workforce Central and Workforce Dimensions), which is the same system your InTouch DX, InTouch DX G2, InTouch 9100, InTouch 9000, and InTouch 4500 write to. The integration is at the UKG platform level, so hardware model is not a factor.

How does punch data flow from CloudApper into UKG?

CloudApper writes punch transactions directly to UKG using the same integration layer your existing terminals use. Your timekeepers see all punches (terminal and tablet) in the same UKG interface, with no additional steps or reconciliation.

What happens when a tablet loses internet connection?

CloudApper captures punches locally during outages and syncs them to UKG automatically when connectivity is restored. No punches are lost and no manual intervention is required.

How long does deployment take?

Most customers are live in 3–5 days. Configuration is handled by your team through a no-code interface, with no IT project, no UKG customization, and no new hardware procurement process required.

How is CloudApper priced?

Pricing is a software subscription per clocking position, with no hardware purchase, installation fee, or service contract. Most customers see 50–70% lower cost per location compared to dedicated terminal deployments. We'll walk through a side-by-side cost comparison tailored to your environment in the walkthrough session.
