Features

All Équipora modules

One software for working time, projects, purchasing and the shop floor. Every module connects to the others: a punch feeds the hours, a shop-floor task feeds the schedule, a delivery feeds the inventory.

Time clock

Editions: Lite Éducation Pro Custom

A clock-in and clock-out button on a PC or phone. Équipora calculates daily and weekly hours and shows who is present, in real time.

  • Daily and weekly hours, compared with the planned schedule
  • Live team attendance (present, not yet arrived, absent, left)
  • Corrections by managers, all logged
  • Time record requests: the employee reports a missed punch with the actual time or comments on their hours; the manager accepts (the punch is created) or rejects
  • CSV exports of hours (CSV exports option)
“My time records” page: arrival and departure times for each day, duration, and the detail of each punch over the week.
