Keeping employee time records accurate is one of the hardest jobs for any HR or payroll team. When hundreds of people clock in and out every day, even a few missed punches or unrecorded meal breaks can throw payroll off balance. For large organizations, these small issues add up quickly—extra time spent fixing errors, delayed pay runs, and frustrated employees.

A nationwide trucking-equipment company faced this exact challenge. Their workforce was spread across several locations, and they needed a reliable way to capture punches and meal-break data directly into UKG Ready. That’s when they turned to CloudApper AI TimeClock, an intelligent employee punch clock that works hand in hand with UKG solutions.

Why Managing a Large Workforce Can Be So Tough

Let’s be honest—keeping time data clean gets complicated fast.
Different locations often follow slightly different schedules. Some states have stricter meal-break rules. And with so many employees, even a small number of missed or duplicate punches can create a payroll mess.

Many HR teams already rely on UKG Ready to manage time, attendance, and payroll. It’s powerful, but every organization’s reality is different. That’s why many UKG customers extend their system with CloudApper AI TimeClock—an employee punch clock that adapts to each company’s exact workflow. It helps record every punch, every break, and every hour worked—without adding extra complexity for employees or administrators.

When you’re dealing with hundreds of mobile or field workers, you simply can’t afford errors. You need something quick, contactless, and accurate that employees actually like using. That’s where CloudApper comes in.

How the Trucking Equipment Company Solved the Problem

The trucking-equipment company already relied on UKG Ready for scheduling and payroll. However, they needed a better way to capture punches and meal breaks across multiple sites—something accurate, simple, and easy for employees to use every day.

Here’s how CloudApper AI TimeClock helped:

  • Turned the company’s existing iPads into a modern employee punch clock with built-in face ID verification.

  • Enabled employees to clock in, start meal breaks, and clock out just by looking at the screen.

  • Synced all punches instantly with UKG Ready for real-time visibility.

  • Eliminated manual entry errors and reduced time spent fixing missed punches.
