Clock in from the phone
No terminal on the wall: staff clock in and out from their own smartphone in one tap.
The employee time clock app for crews on the move.
One-tap clock-in verified by location, offline-ready, with timesheets that build themselves as the shift runs.
Time clock
What the Cerqa time clock app does
Location check
A geofence around each site confirms the person was actually there when they clocked in.
Works offline
Basements, sites without signal: punches are stored locally and sync as soon as there is a connection.
Breaks and overtime
Breaks and extra hours are captured with the punch, not reconstructed at month end.
Live view per site
See who is on the clock right now across every location.
Verified hours export
Approved hours export as a file for your payroll provider or accountant.
Paper timesheets cost more than they look
Hours written on paper get copied twice, misread once and argued over at month end. When the punch is the record, the timesheet is finished the moment the shift ends — and everyone sees the same number.
Verified, not just recorded
Each clock-in carries a time and a location check, so you can show a client or an auditor that the shift was covered without keeping a separate log.

Questions for any vendor — our answers.
Before you commit to any workforce software, get these points in writing — from us and from every other vendor. Our answers are below; we go deeper in the demo.
- Data processing agreement:Is there a written processing agreement covering your employee data?
Yes. We provide a DPA under Art. 28 GDPR and sign it with you before your team starts using the app.
- Where data lives:In which region is the data stored and processed?
Hosting and database run on Supabase. The exact region and the sub-processor list are set out in writing in the DPA — not only on request.
- Employee representation:Which settings can be configured to fit your works council or staff agreement (location sharing, reporting)?
Location sharing is opt-in per person — refuse it and clock-ins still record, just without coordinates. Reporting and access scope can be restricted per role. The contested points are settings you negotiate concretely in a works agreement.
- Deletion & export:How is data deleted, and how do you export everything if you switch tools?
Time and absence records stay for the legal retention period, then are deleted. All core and time data exports as CSV/Excel — you take your data with you when you switch.
