The Challenge: Managing Thousands of Employee Punches Across States
Before switching to CloudApper, the company struggled with messy employee time capture data. Different locations used different setups, and errors were common. Employees sometimes forgot to punch in, duplicate entries appeared, and reconciling data took hours.
The company already used UKG Pro WFM (formerly UKG Dimensions) for workforce management, but it needed a cost-effective employee time tracking system that worked with its existing UKG setup and devices already deployed across locations. They wanted something simple, centralized, and highly accurate.
The Solution: CloudApper’s iPad Time Clock for UKG
After learning about CloudApper’s AI TimeClock, the company quickly saw the potential. The solution works on any iPad, Android tablet, or Windows device — no special hardware required.
Once installed on their existing iPads, the AI TimeClock for UKG became the new go-to tool for employees to clock in and out. Here’s how it works:
An employee walks in, taps “Submit Punch,” and verifies their identity using face recognition. The clock captures the time instantly and sends it directly to UKG Pro WFM. No manual uploads, no missing data — just clean, real-time employee timekeeping.
Within days, every location was running smoothly, and the results started showing up immediately.
How It Works: Simple, Fast, and Accurate
The CloudApper AI TimeClock runs on any off-the-shelf tablet—iPads, Android, or Windows devices. Once installed and connected to UKG, the workflow is simple:
-
Employee arrives at the store and opens the CloudApper AI TimeClock app.
-
Face recognition confirms their identity within seconds.
-
The clock-in/out data is instantly recorded and synced to UKG Pro WFM.
-
Managers can view the punches, approve them, and run reports—all within UKG.
This process eliminates manual entries and minimizes errors. It also ensures compliance, as every punch is verified by the employee’s face rather than a shared PIN or card.
