The Android Clock Terminal is a solution for use with smaller numbers of workers, where the purchase of a clocking machine may not be justifiable. This consists of an Android app, optionally supported by web-based upload and transfer to the main Africlock application.
The Android app will only work on smartphones running Android 4.0 and up. This means that most of the newer Android phones will be able to run the app. For best results you should not use a bottom-range budget phone unless you are happy with manual clocking – the slightly better phones have cameras better suited to QR code recognition and may also have NFC readers built in – these are typically absent from budget phones.
If you have an iPhone, BlackBerry or a Windows phone you are out of luck, unfortunately. We are currently not planning to support these phones.
To test whether your phone will be able to run the Africlock app, please download it from the Google Play Store – simply type the name Africlock in the Play store to find it.
There is an annual fee of R300 per phone for the use of the web back-end and data transfer functionality. This fee will be charged as part of your annual support fee for the Africlock time & attendance and payroll system.
Please note: We will only ever send the registration code by SMS to the telephone number you nominate here. This is for your own protection.
