Traditional timesheets or paper reports are solutions from the past that can be easily automatized nowadays.
According to a study by WorkMarket, 40% of employees spend at least a quarter of their time on manual, repetitive tasks.
For years, businesses have relied on manual time sheets to keep track of employee hours. However, this method is not without its challenges. Timesheets can be easily lost or damaged, leading to data loss and inaccuracies. Of course, you could opt for a virtual sheet, but again, this is a repeatitive maintenance that could certainly be avoided.
On top of that, employees may forget to fill out their time or intentionally manipulate their hours, leading to payroll discrepancies and potential legal issues.
QR Codes is short for “Quick Response Codes” and it’s some kind of modern two-dimensional barcode that is scanned and can return a wide range of data. It’s typically used for URL redirection but can store various kinds of data (numeric, bytes, kanji, etc.)
It originates from Japan but is widely used around the world today.
According to Statista statistics report in 2023 , approximately 89 million smartphone users have used QR code scanners and have scanned QR codes in the United States alone, marking a 20 million increase from the previous year. This figure is projected to exceed 100 million by the end of the year 2025
This technology is very popular and its adoption is growing each year.
Aquiestoy offers a modern and efficient alternative to traditional timesheets. With our Smart QR code technology, employees can easily clock in and out of work using their smartphones.
This eliminates the need for paper or virtual timesheets. It also streamlines the entire time-tracking process. We generate insight & detailed reports for you that you can freely use.
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| QR Code generation | In a few clicks, the platform generates unique QR codes for your organization or its subdivisions. |
| Employee check-in | Employees simply scan the QR code upon arrival at work to clock in. |
| Automatic time tracking | The platform automatically records the time when the QR code is scanned, providing accurate and reliable time-tracking data. |
| Employee check-out | When employees leave work, they scan their QR code again to clock out. |
The first benefit is the accuracy it adds. It provides exact data regarding the entry or exit or your workers. It's also convenient. Employees can easily clock-in and clock-out using their phones. There's way less management to think of. Finally, it's efficient. It streamline the time-tracking process and its reports, saving time & resources to handle work hours or detect anomalies.
By adopting these strategies, I think factory managers can optimize operations, increase productivity, and achieve better results.
Employee location and time tracking apps designed for manual labor and factory settings come in various forms, from simple clock-in/clock-out systems to more sophisticated solutions that use RFID tags, GPS, or other technologies to monitor employees' movements.
New processes are hard to follow, and creating a habit doesn’t come easily. Entire books have been written about it; lots of strategies are available.
I noticed that maximizing productivity in a factory isn't as simple as it seems. Here are five strategies to help improve it
If you want to follow the time worked of your employees, one efficient solution is to have them use QR Codes to clock in and out of your company.
The idea behind QR Codes is simple, you can scan them with any imaging device, such as a camera and it’ll be interpreted through some kind of algorithm by your device.
We'll show you how you can build a tracker from scratch, and show you a free solution that could do it for you as an alternative.
