Product deep dives
Where a specific capability answers the question better than a general article would.
Do you still need a fingerprint attendance machine?
Biometric terminals solved a real problem: attendance you could not simply write down for a colleague. They also brought costs that are easy to forget once the device is on the wall.
Workplace technologyGPS attendance that respects both accuracy and privacy.
When a workplace policy uses GPS, SlidesClock checks the clock-in against that workplace’s location and radius — and it treats accuracy as part of the answer, not an afterthought.
Workplace technologyWhen GPS struggles indoors, the workplace network helps.
Inside a warehouse or a lower floor of an office tower, a satellite fix can be poor or slow. Workplace network verification gives those sites a signal that actually reflects being on the premises.

What the Free plan covers, and where the limits genuinely are.
OperationsLocal rules. One company view.
A head office, a warehouse and a shop floor do not need the same attendance rules — but they do need to roll up into the same records.
OperationsOptional payroll tools, honestly described.
Attendance is the universal part of SlidesClock. Payroll is an optional layer on top of it, and it is worth being precise about what that does and does not mean.
