Time Tracking Production – Terminal at the Hall Entrance, Shifts Under Control and Attendance in Real Time
In production, employees do not clock in on their smartphone – they clock in at the terminal when they enter the hall. A tap on their name, select department or job order, done. The office can see in real time who is working in which shift. Overtime is calculated automatically. And payroll preparation is completed in minutes at the end of the month – instead of hours.
- Terminal at the shop floor entrance
- Automatic overtime calculation
- 13 languages for international shift teams
Terminal at the hall entrance
An Android tablet on the wall – that is the terminal. No specialist device, no expensive time clock. The employee taps their name and is clocked in. Cost: a tablet from €150, a wall mount, a Wi-Fi connection.
Shift times documented automatically
Early shift, late shift, night shift – all times are automatically recorded with shift start and shift end. Overtime and break times are calculated by the system, not the office.
Attendance in real time
The dashboard shows who has clocked in, who is absent, and who is working overtime. During shift changes, production management can see immediately whether everyone is present – without lists, without phone calls.
The problem
What Goes Wrong with Time Tracking in Production
In many production facilities, an old punch clock still hangs by the entrance – or shift times are recorded on paper lists that are typed up in the office at the end of the week. During shift changes there is chaos, overtime is only noticed at the end of the month, and payroll preparation takes hours every time because data has to be gathered from various sources.
- Shift times are recorded on paper or in Excel – with three shifts and 30 employees, this quickly becomes confusing
- Overtime is only calculated at the end of the month – by then it can no longer be controlled, only paid for
- During shift changeovers, there is no real-time overview: Who is in? Who is absent? Who is working overtime?
- Employees on the production floor are often not permitted to use a smartphone at their workstation – a purely app-based solution does not work
- International employees do not understand German time-clock systems or Excel spreadsheets – resulting in incorrect entries
- Payroll preparation takes hours every week because shift allowances, night supplements and overtime have to be calculated manually
The solution
Digital Time Tracking for Production Facilities with Jobilino
At the entrance to the production hall, a tablet serves as a terminal. The employee taps their name, selects the department or job order, and is clocked in. When taking a break, they tap Break; at the end of the shift, they tap Stop. The system automatically calculates working time, break times and overtime. In the dashboard, the administration can see in real time who is working in which shift and who is absent. The terminal interface adapts to the employee's language – in 13 languages. For employees who alternate between the hall and external assignments, the app complements the terminal. All entries are recorded in the same system.
13 languages at the terminal
Albanian, Bulgarian, German, English, Italian, Croatian, Polish, Romanian, Serbian, Slovak, Czech, Turkish and Hungarian. Every employee sees the interface in their own language. International teams frequently work in production environments – language barriers must not lead to incorrect bookings.
Order assignment when clocking in
Employees select the order, production line or department when clocking in. Every hour is assigned automatically. The basis for post-calculation per order and for internal cost centre accounting.
How it works
How Time Tracking in Production Works
-
Setting up the terminal in the production hall
A tablet on the wall at the hall entrance, connected to Wi-Fi. Add employees and departments to the system. Ready to go in less than an hour.
-
Start of shift – employee clocks in
The employee taps their name, selects the job or department, and is clocked in. In their language, in seconds.
-
Breaks and end of shift – fully automatic
Breaks are recorded separately. At the end of the shift, the employee taps Stop. The system calculates overtime, night work, and break times.
-
Evaluate and export
Monthly overviews per employee, shift evaluations and job reports as CSV or Excel. Ready for payroll processing and controlling.
Your benefits
- Terminal instead of time clock – a tablet from €150 replaces the old punch clock, without specialist hardware and without a maintenance contract
- Real-time attendance – see immediately at shift changeover who is present and who is absent
- Automatic overtime calculation – no Excel formulas, no manual calculations, no errors at the end of the month
- 13 languages – international production teams clock in and out in their own language, without incorrect bookings caused by misunderstood interfaces
- Job assignment – hours per production order, line or department at the touch of a button for post-costing
- No smartphone required – in production, employees clock in at the terminal, not on their phone
- Payroll preparation in minutes – ready-made monthly exports with shift times, overtime and break deductions
- Combinable with the app – drivers, warehouse workers and field staff use the app, the shop floor uses the terminal, one system for everyone
For whom
Which production companies is Jobilino suitable for?
Jobilino is used by small and medium-sized production companies with 5 to 200 employees. Typical industries include: metalworking, plastics processing, food production, packaging, assembly, electrical manufacturing and suppliers. Particularly useful for companies with shift work, international teams and the requirement to document working hours per order or cost centre. Mixed operations with production and field service also benefit, because the terminal and app run within the same system.
