  • Flexible Tracking Methods: Use various tracking methods such as web clocks, mobile apps, QR codes, iBeacon, and API integrations.

  • QR Codes - Print and distribute QR codes to your employees. Additionally, employees can view their QR codes on the Calamari mobile app. Then, install the Calamari Kiosk app and turn your phone or tablet into a modern time clock reader.
