Time tracking via NFC: as simple as contactless payment

Time tracking that anyone understands

No learning curve, no barrier: a brief tap on the NFC tag is all it takes — via smartphone or terminal, time tracking starts automatically, no manual entry, no office PC required.
  • Perfect for quick clock-ins on the go
  • Start and stop with a single gesture
  • Works offline too – syncs automatically when back online

Assign work hours precisely to locations, sites or machines

Construction site, care file or machine: because every NFC tag is assigned to a specific location or project, every time entry lands in the right place automatically – no follow-up questions, no corrections.
  • Complete proof of work for clients, contract partners and authorities.
  • Tamper-proof – entries only possible directly on site
  • Accurate foundation for project billing and cost control

Fixed, mobile or mixed – NFC adapts to your business

With TimeTac, NFC isn’t a standalone feature – it’s part of a time tracking platform that adapts to how your business works: flexible, cross-device and always expandable.

  • NFC stickers on machines or locations for project time tracking
  • RFID/NFC chips and terminal as a fixed time clock on site
  • App with NFC for mobile teams on the go

NFC time tracking for multiple industries and locations

NFC works wherever work happens – not just in care or field service.

  • Meeting rooms in the office: log time by location
  • Fleet and travel time: clock in directly at the vehicle
  • Care and support services: document proof of work per patient or location
  • Cleaning and facility services: log time directly at the site or building

Frequently asked questions.

Hold your smartphone to the NFC tag – time tracking starts automatically, no manual entry required. To stop, simply scan again. The entry is immediately assigned to the right location or project and available instantly in TimeTac.
That depends on your preferred setup. For the mobile option, all you need is an NFC-enabled smartphone and NFC stickers – affordable, no power required and no installation needed. If you prefer a fixed solution, combine NFC/RFID chips with a terminal – no smartphone required. Both options can run in parallel within the same TimeTac system.
Yes. TimeTac meets legal requirements for work time recording and is GDPR-compliant. NFC tags themselves store no personal data – all data is processed and stored exclusively in TimeTac.
Yes. A single NFC tag can be used by any number of employees – TimeTac identifies who logged the entry based on the account they’re signed in with. This makes NFC particularly practical for shared locations such as machines, vehicles or meeting rooms.
Yes. In TimeTac, time entries can be corrected easily via the app or web app, with a defined approval process. All changes remain documented and traceable.
TimeTac offers multiple tracking methods: mobile app via smartphone, fixed terminals or browser-based entry at a PC. NFC can be combined with any of these – employees can use whichever method suits the situation.
NFC is ideal for businesses where employees don’t have a fixed office workstation or need to document hours directly on site – such as cleaning, care, construction, security or facility management. But NFC also works well in office environments: for location-based entries in meeting rooms or shared vehicle fleets.
