Track Workforce Activities Using CloudApper’s UKG/Kronos TimeClock

For many organizations, tracking employee time accurately isn’t just a compliance necessity — it’s how you understand productivity, control labor costs, and manage workforce efficiency.

But here’s the problem: most time-tracking systems, even robust platforms like UKG or Kronos, are rigid by design. They assume every employee works in neat, predictable shifts.

The reality?
Your people move between projects, tasks, and activities all day long — and that complexity doesn’t always fit within traditional “clock in–clock out” workflows.

A recent HR Software Benchmark study found that 70% of organizations feel their existing time-tracking systems are too rigid to reflect real-world work patterns. This rigidity leads to inaccurate data, manual corrections, and employee frustration.

That’s where CloudApper AI steps in — turning UKG into a fully customizable, flexible workforce activity tracking system without the cost or complexity of custom coding.

The Challenge: When One-Size-Fits-All Tracking Fails

Imagine this scenario:

A nurse in a healthcare facility spends half her shift with patients, another portion on documentation, and ends the day assisting another department. If she can’t log time by activity, the data UKG receives paints an incomplete picture of labor utilization.

Or picture a warehouse associate fulfilling multiple orders, switching between packing, labeling, and loading — each requiring time allocation to different cost centers.

Traditional systems make it almost impossible to track that fluid movement accurately without manual entries. That means:

• Inaccurate payroll data
• Poor visibility into task-level productivity
• Difficult compliance audits
• Employee frustration from constant clocking

The CloudApper Solution: Customizable Workforce Activity Tracking

CloudApper AI eliminates these bottlenecks.
Built for seamless UKG and Kronos integration, the platform allows you to customize activity-tracking workflows with simple drag-and-drop tools — no developers, no downtime.

Here’s what makes it stand out:

1. Track by Duration, Not Just by Shift

Instead of clocking in/out for each task, employees can log total duration per activity — ideal for industries where roles shift frequently.

Example: A retail associate spends 90 minutes in inventory, two hours assisting customers, and 30 minutes in restocking. CloudApper captures this effortlessly.

2. Start–Stop Tracking for Dynamic Work

For teams in logistics, warehousing, or production, the start/stop model is more intuitive.
Employees start an activity when they begin and stop it once completed — no manual re-entry or guessing later.

This approach automatically captures:

• Task duration
• Job type
• Location
• Associated cost centre

3. Auto-Transition Tracking

Some organizations prefer a “start-only” setup. Once an employee starts a new activity, the system auto-stops the previous one, ensuring continuity and eliminating missed punches.

This is perfect for environments like manufacturing lines, where employees switch frequently between tasks.

4. Flexible “Stop-Only” Workflows

In cases where employees clock into a default job (like general labor) and only stop to record specific activities, CloudApper’s stop-only configuration works seamlessly.
It captures exceptions instead of forcing clock-ins for every micro-task.

How CloudApper’s AI Platform Integrates With UKG and Kronos

CloudApper isn’t another system — it’s an extension of your UKG ecosystem.

• Bi-directional Sync: Employee, job, and time data flow seamlessly between CloudApper and UKG Ready, Pro, or Dimensions.

• No-Code Customization: Modify workflows through a visual builder — no developers or consultants needed.

• Plug-and-Play Setup: Works with any Android/iOS device or kiosk, using facial recognition or PIN-based entry.

The result: you can deploy fully customized activity tracking within days instead of months.

Why Businesses Are Switching to Flexible Time Tracking

Studies show that organizations with adaptable time-tracking tools experience:

• 25% higher productivity (less time wasted on manual logging)
• 30% fewer payroll corrections
• 20% faster compliance reporting

Let’s break down what this means in real business terms:

Real-World Example: A Healthcare Team That Needed Flexibility

A regional healthcare provider using UKG Ready faced constant issues tracking nurses’ diverse activities.
CloudApper customized an activity-duration tracking model where nurses simply logged time spent per care type (patient rounds, documentation, and administrative tasks).

The result:

• 100% accurate time allocation across cost centers
• 60% less admin time spent reconciling data
• Stronger compliance documentation for billing and audits

“CloudApper let us design time tracking around how our people actually work — not the other way around.”
— Rebecca J., HRIS Manager, Healthcare Industry
