Primary Tracking Methods
Complementary Tracking Methods
QR Codes for Contactless Tracking
Employees scan unique QR codes from their phones or printed badges for quick, hygienic clock-ins. Perfect for most office environments and the most popular option for KIOSK terminals.
NFC for Tap-and-Go Convenience
Enable fast authentication with NFC cards or tags—perfect for high-traffic areas and teams on the move. It's the fastest possible clock-in experience at your KIOSK terminals.
Integrated with Your Digital Workspace
Let teams clock in directly from Slack, Microsoft Teams, or their web browser—ideal for remote and hybrid workers who don't regularly visit office locations.
Beacon-Powered Automatic Tracking
Install beacons in your workspace for hands-free time tracking that registers presence automatically—perfect for environments where manual clock-ins might disrupt workflow.
Use Case Overview
Accurate Time Records
Keep your attendance tracking honest and accurate with tools that work. Whether it's making sure the right person is clocking in or checking if they're at the right location, these features help you maintain reliable attendance records without the hassle.
Authentication Methods
Choose Your Preferred Clock-In Method
Each authentication method fits different workplace environments and security requirements. Every option provides reliable employee identification while offering distinct advantages for various operational needs.
Digital QR Codes
Employees use variable QR codes generated directly in their Calamari mobile app. These codes refresh automatically and cannot be screenshotted, shared, or transferred between employees, ensuring maximum security and preventing unauthorized access. The dynamic nature of these codes makes buddy punching virtually impossible.
Printed QR Codes
Traditional printed badges with permanent QR codes that can be distributed to employees. While these provide convenience for teams without smartphones, they require additional security measures like photo capture to prevent sharing between employees.
NFC Tags & Cards
Administrators can easily program NFC tags/cards through the Calamari mobile app by selecting an employee and tapping the new card. Multiple cards can be assigned to one person, cards can be transferred between employees, and administrators can check assignments or remove cards as needed.
NFC cards provide instant authentication and are difficult to duplicate, making them highly secure against buddy punching attempts.
As an administrator, you can enable or disable the NFC method directly from your web account globally. You can also see who has an NFC card or tag assigned, unassign them and easily filter users and cards at any time.
Buddy Punching
Stop Buddy Punching with Advanced Security
Capture a photo with every clock-in to ensure the right person is present. Our system prevents buddy punching and unauthorized entries.
Plus, mobile app QR codes can't be screenshotted and shared, ensuring secure and accurate time tracking. Create a transparent, accountable attendance system that safeguards your payroll integrity.
Multiple Kiosks
Project-Based Time Registration
Multiple kiosks can be set up within a single location (e.g., warehouse, production hall) to enable project-based time tracking. This setup allows employees to clock in/out at different workstations or project areas, automatically recording their time against specific projects or tasks.
This is particularly useful for:
- Large facilities with multiple work zones
- Manufacturing environments with different production lines
- Warehouses with various storage areas
- Construction sites with different work areas
Each kiosk can be configured to track time for specific projects or departments, providing detailed insights into time allocation across different work areas within the same location.
