Evaluation highlights
The outcomes and guardrails buyers validate first, reuse the same bullets when stakeholders ask for a tight recap.

Track clock-in, clock-out, and in-shift activity as it happens.
Worked vs scheduled comparison
Compare planned hours with actual worked time before payroll closes.

Multi-location time visibility
Review shift-time status across sites from one workspace, without extra exports.
Audit logs and time reports
Clock events, change history, and Excel or PDF summaries stay tied to the published shift.
Shift Time Tracker
Shift time tracking stays connected to scheduling so managers can see what was planned, what was worked, and where drift starts.
Shift Time Tracker gives managers a clear view of real shift activity, clock events, break timing, and worked-hour totals while teams are still on the floor.
Heyshift links shift-time records to published schedules so businesses avoid disconnected logs, reduce manual payroll fixes, and improve labor visibility across locations. Staff can clock from the mobile app or a shared kiosk device, including when that kiosk is briefly offline.
Real-Time Shift Time Tracking
Heyshift response
Managers can monitor shift-time activity as it happens to keep workforce timing accurate.
Shift time tracking helps teams react faster when planned and actual work patterns diverge.
- Live clock-in and clock-out visibility
- Real-time shift status by employee
- Faster issue detection during active shifts
- Improved day-of operational control
Online and Offline Kiosk Device Support
Heyshift response
Shared tablet kiosks keep clock-in, clock-out, and break events on the published shift, including when site connectivity drops.
Use a shared kiosk when personal phones are not the right fit for the floor. Clock events still land on the same shift-time record as mobile punches.
Device support
- Tablet kiosks at the entrance or back office
- Shared attendance terminals by location
- Branch-specific kiosk setup
- Touch-friendly clock-in, clock-out, and break actions
- PIN or badge identification on the device
Online and offline
- Live clock events while the kiosk is connected
- Offline capture when Wi-Fi or cellular drops
- Queue events on the device until the connection returns
- Sync queued punches into the shift time tracker automatically
Pair this with mobile and kiosk attendance when a location needs both phone and shared-device paths.
