Your company's attendance, shifts, and visitors under control
We build access control and time attendance software that records clock-ins and clock-outs by fingerprint, facial recognition, QR code, or phone with location. The system matches each punch against the scheduled shift and calculates late arrivals, overtime, and premium pay. An employee attendance system that also checks in visitors at reception and delivers payroll-ready reports, without downloading files from the time clock or checking timesheets.
Updated:
- Clock-in by fingerprint, face, or QR code
- Overtime calculated automatically
- Registered visitors

You: show us how you work today
You get: a process map and scope -
Step 2: Prototype
We design the main screens in a clickable prototype to validate them before writing code.
You: test the prototype with your team
You get: an approved prototype -
Step 3: Development by module
We build and deliver module by module, so your team can start using it soon.
You: test each module
You get: working modules in testing -
Step 4: Migration and training
We load your current data, train each role, and support you through launch.
You: hand over your databases
You get: a live system and user manuals -
Step 5: Support and improvement
We measure actual usage and make any needed adjustments during the support period.
You: report adjustments through the support channel
You get: a usage and improvements report
Traditional time clock or attendance software
The clock records the time; the software turns that time into useful information.
| Aspect | Stand-alone time clock | PACOWEB software |
|---|---|---|
| Data | Downloaded from the device and copied into Excel. | Sent online to a central platform. |
| Shifts | It doesn’t know which shift each person had. | Compares clock-ins against the scheduled shift. |
| Exceptions | Justified on paper. | The manager approves from a phone. |
| Locations | Each device is an island. | All locations in a single report. |
If you already have biometric readers, we can almost always use them.
FAQ about access control and time attendance software
Can’t find your question?
Message an advisor and we’ll get back to you during business hours (Bogotá time, UTC-5).
Does it work with my current fingerprint readers?
It depends on the brand and model. Many allow integration; we check before we quote.
Is it legal to use facial recognition or fingerprints?
Yes, with each person's consent and a clear privacy policy, as required by the privacy laws that apply to your business. We help you build that consent into the process.
Can someone clock in for another person?
With biometrics or with location and photo verification, it’s very difficult. The system also flags unusual clock-ins.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the number of people, locations, and devices. We send you a proposal after reviewing your operation.
What other names is access and attendance software known by?
People also search for it as employee attendance tracking, time tracking software, digital time clock, or visitor management system. It ties in with logistics, fleet management, work orders, traceability, and route planning, which we review with you when your project needs them.
