See how TempClock stacks up

Face-verified clock-in, live geofencing and UK payroll-ready timesheets in one app — set side by side with biometric terminals and the traditional spreadsheet-and-fingerprint approach.

The full picture, side by side

Every feature that actually changes your day — verification, location, payroll, scheduling, compliance and platform — across all three options.

Best fit
TempClock
One plan, every feature

A cloud deep-learning face engine with ISO/IEC 30107-3-aligned liveness, live geofencing and payroll-ready timesheets — on any device you already own.

Biopanel Systems
Biometric terminals

Wall-mounted fingerprint and face terminals. Strong at the door itself, but tied to fixed hardware with little around scheduling, payroll or live oversight.

Traditional
Sheets & fingerprint clocks

Spreadsheets, PIN pads and basic fingerprint clocks. Cheap to start, but manual, easy to fudge and slow to turn into clean payroll.

TempClock compared with Biopanel-style biometric terminals and traditional spreadsheets or fingerprint clocks, across six feature groups

Competitor columns reflect typical biometric-terminal and spreadsheet or fingerprint-clock setups, not any one product; capabilities vary by model and configuration.

Under the bonnet

Why the “Yes” column is earned

Each clock-in runs the same short pipeline, then lands on a live board your team can actually watch.
