Traditional biometric machines store punches on the device, and someone has to download them, clean them up in Excel and hand them to payroll. With Punchly, the machine is just the front door — every punch lands in the cloud immediately and feeds the same reports as mobile punches.

Because each device belongs to a unit, a punch is only accepted for employees assigned to that site. The device's secret is shown once when it is created and can be rotated at any time.

Plans include a set number of devices, so a single-site business can start with one machine and add more as it opens branches.
