Simplified Shift Management

CloudApper facilitates communication between employees and managers. Employees can view open shifts, express interest through bidding, and even swap shifts directly through the kiosk (subject to approval). This empowers employees with control over their schedules and reduces the HR workload associated with manual shift management. Pre-shift notifications ensure employees are aware of their upcoming shifts, minimizing disruptions and promoting a smoother workflow.

Multiple Clock-In/Out Methods

CloudApper goes beyond traditional methods. Employees can clock in/out using a PIN, secure facial recognition (Face ID), or location-based verification (geofencing). This flexibility caters to diverse preferences and work environments, while Face ID and geofencing minimize the risk of “buddy punching” (where one employee clocks in for another).

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a Dayforce Time Clock “AI-powered”?

It uses AI-driven authentication — like facial recognition and geofencing — to verify punches, plus an AI assistant employees can ask about schedules, time-off balances, and paystubs directly at the clock, rather than routing every question to HR.

Does adding CloudApper AI TimeClock require changes to Dayforce’s core system?

No. CloudApper integrates alongside Dayforce and syncs data in real time, so you gain additional clock-in methods, self-service features, and custom data capture without modifying the underlying HCM or payroll configuration.

How does Face ID or geofencing prevent buddy punching?

Face ID confirms the person punching in is actually present, and geofencing verifies the punch happened at an approved location — together, they remove the ability for one employee to clock in on behalf of another.

Can employees manage shift swaps without going through HR first?

Yes. Employees can view open shifts, bid on them, or request a swap directly from the kiosk, with the request routed for manager approval — reducing the back-and-forth HR would otherwise handle manually.

What kind of data can be captured alongside a punch?

Beyond the clock-in/out time, you can capture job-specific details like project codes, task assignments, or break information, which supports more accurate time allocation and project costing once synced to Dayforce.
