How LiteEntry works

Setting up takes about five minutes. If you are deciding whether LiteEntry fits, start with the questions; if you are setting it up, start with the five-minute guide.

About

• Our story LiteEntry began as an internal tool at a global quantitative trading firm, built because nothing available fitted the way its offices actually work.
• What LiteEntry does, feature by feature Every feature on the front page and what it gives you: attendance running in five minutes, no app, no hardware, and every feature on every plan.

Getting started

• Setting up in five minutes One location, one screen, your team. In that order, and none of it takes long.
• How a check-in works What the rotating code is for, why a photograph of it cannot be reused, and what gets recorded when someone checks in.
• Does LiteEntry work with Google Workspace? Yes — everyone signs in with the Google account they already have, so there are no invitations to send and no passwords to issue.

How it works

• What each attendance check does Geofencing, office Wi-Fi, and shared-device recognition — three checks, each of which can be off, recorded, or required.
• How QR code attendance works A screen shows a code that changes every thirty seconds, people scan it with the camera they already have, and the server decides what counts.
• Attendance across offices in different timezones Which day a check-in belongs to when your offices disagree about what day it is, and how to read one report across all of them.
• How to see who is in the office right now Knowing who is actually on site at this minute, across several offices, without ringing round or asking people to share their location.
• How to check in remotely Recording a start without scanning a screen — how an administrator switches it on for a location, and the two taps it takes on the day.
• Admin, Viewer and Member roles Three roles, one Google sign-in each. Admins configure and manage, Viewers read every report, Members check in and see their own record.
• How to export your attendance records One click from the attendance report downloads every row as CSV, on every plan, with all check-in events included.
• How geofencing a check-in works A centre, a radius and a GPS accuracy allowance, compared against the phone when somebody scans — and what happens when the reading is too vague to judge.
• Checking that a check-in came from the office network LiteEntry compares the address a check-in arrives from with the one the display by that door is using — learned from the display itself, so nothing goes stale.
• Spotting one phone checking in several people LiteEntry gives every phone a server-issued id and records which people check in from it, so a shared device shows up as a pattern. It never blocks anyone.

Choosing LiteEntry

• Frequently asked questions Common questions on cost, what data is collected, Google accounts, working offline, and what happens when someone forgets to check out.
• Attendance without an app Recording who was at work without asking anyone to install anything — what this gains on rollout day, and what an app can do that a web page cannot.
• Why not just ask employees to install an app? An app would add automatic clock-in, push reminders and working offline. What each one costs, and why LiteEntry records attendance in the browser instead.
• Attendance without creating employee accounts No invitation emails, no activation links, no passwords to reset. What it takes to get forty people checking in, and what it costs you instead.
• Attendance without buying a time clock or badge reader Using a screen you already own instead of a terminal, what that saves across several sites, and when dedicated hardware is still the right answer.
• Replacing a paper sign-in sheet What a clipboard by the door actually costs you, and how to replace it in an afternoon without buying hardware or issuing accounts.
• Does a QR code stop buddy punching? What a rotating code, a geofence and device recognition each genuinely do about one person clocking in for another — and what none of them do.
• Can an employer require an app on a personal phone? What employers usually can and cannot ask, why staff object, and how to record attendance without needing to settle the argument.
• Is free attendance software actually free? What free tiers in this category usually withhold, what ours does not, and the questions worth asking before you rely on one.
• Is it legal to track employee attendance? Recording when someone was at work is legal in most places. What matters is what you collect, whether employees know, and how you use it.
• How to tell your team you are starting to track attendance What to say, what to show them, and why the product itself does most of the talking.
• Attendance for offices Turn any spare screen by the door into a secure attendance station. No hardware to buy, no app for staff to install, running in five minutes.
• Attendance for clinics Staff attendance for clinics and healthcare teams — no app on personal phones, no biometrics, and no hardware to procure.
• Attendance for restaurants Shift attendance for restaurants and hospitality — nothing to install, running before service, and each check-in takes about three seconds.
• Attendance for warehouses Shift attendance for warehouses and distribution centres — rotating QR on any screen, overnight shifts handled correctly, no app to install.
• Attendance for remote and hybrid teams Remote check-in for fully remote or hybrid teams — server-verified timestamps, no app to install, each timezone tracked separately.
• Attendance for startups Free up to 10 people with every feature included. Set up in five minutes, works with Google Workspace, no IT department or sales call required.
