A cleaner retail workweek

See every clock-in, overtime hour, and missed punch before payroll.

Clockspot carries one employee-time record from the store clock through corrections and approval, so payroll starts with reviewed hours.

Give every store employee one clear clock-in

Associates, stockroom staff, and managers can use a shared kiosk or browser at the store.

Know who showed up and who is approaching overtime

Current attendance and workweek totals surface long shifts before the pay period closes.

Fix missed punches without a separate text thread

The employee explains the change, the manager reviews it, and the decision stays with the record.

Current hours for every employee

See who worked, how long, and what still needs attention.

Review the workweek before long shifts and incomplete entries become payroll cleanup.

  • See who is working right now

    Open shifts and current employees stay visible without calling every store.

  • Catch longer shifts before payroll

    Regular time, overtime, and incomplete entries remain visible while they can still be reviewed.

  • Review every employee in one workweek

    Associates, stockroom staff, opening leads, and managers stay in one employee-time view.

Retail customer story

Replace the manual punch clock with hours employees and managers can review.

“We switched from a manual punchclock to Clockspot, and what a difference. The employees love reviewing their hours anytime, and it makes preparing payroll a snap.”

Stores and field visits

Keep recorded hours connected to the store or visit they belong to.

Use the same workflow for one store or many. When employees float between locations or visit client stores, the selected job keeps the workweek organized.

  • Keep each store or client account with the hours

    Use jobs for stores, departments, routes, or recurring merchandising accounts.

  • Review available location details for field visits

    When employees clock in from a browser and share location, the event can carry GPS, IP, and device context.

  • See hours by store, visit, or employee

    Job reports keep the selected retail account beside the people and hours that belong to it.

At store close

Work Checklists keep store opening and closing routines consistent across shifts.

Clockspot opens the checklist that applies when an employee clocks out from their own account. Employees record what was completed and flag anything a manager needs to follow up on.

  • Give every shift the same store closeout steps

  • Bring supply or facility issues into view quickly

  • See which checklists were submitted and which are still waiting

Common questions

Get clear answers about retail employee time tracking.

  • Shared store clock
  • Current hours and overtime
  • Reviewed payroll reports
Is Clockspot retail POS or store operations software?

No. Clockspot tracks employee time for payroll review. It does not replace the systems you use for sales, inventory, products, returns, purchasing, merchandising tasks, or broader store operations.

Can employees share one clock-in device at the store?

Yes. Run a shared kiosk on a tablet or computer and let each employee use a personal PIN. Staff can also clock in from a browser or another method the store enables.

Can managers see who is working and who is approaching overtime?

Yes. Who's Working shows current attendance, and timesheets and reports show regular hours, overtime, and incomplete entries before the pay period closes.

Can we track time across multiple stores or client visits?

Yes. Use work sites for stores and visit locations, clients for customer accounts, and jobs for departments, routes, or assignments. Employees select the job they are working on, while Clockspot can identify the work site from an approved clocking method.

Can field merchandisers record mileage between stores?

Yes. Employees can record a work trip’s distance, purpose, origin, destination, and optional account job or store work site. Managers get one trip history to review for reimbursement or business-mileage preparation. Clockspot does not automatically track or optimize store routes.

What happens when an employee misses a punch?

The employee can request a correction with a reason. A manager reviews the original time and requested change, then approves or rejects it while preserving the history.

Does Clockspot process payroll?

No. Clockspot creates reviewed employee-time reports and configured export files for your payroll process. It does not calculate taxes, move money, file returns, or replace your payroll provider.
