Time and Attendance

Every clock-in verified,
with a photo, on the device.

Staff tap their card or fob against a fixed NFC reader at the site entrance. Their photo is captured automatically. The record is timestamped, cloud-stored and in your portal before they have walked through the door.

Payroll and client reports
When a client says your operative was not there, a signed sheet does not prove anything.

Real-Link captures a photo of the operative at the exact moment of clock-in.

Combined with their PIN, the NFC tag location and a server-side timestamp, you have four independent proof points before they have been on site for ten seconds. Disputes become easy to resolve because the evidence is already there before anyone calls you.

Trusted by FM and security contractors
Jack Martin at Corporate Facilities Services credits Real-Link with transforming how his business handles attendance disputes. What previously took lengthy conversations now takes a two-minute email with a photo attached.
What you get

Everything your team needs, in one app.

NFC-verified clock in and out
Staff tap their card or fob against the fixed reader at the entrance. Location, time and identity are all captured in a single action with nothing to fill in.
Automatic photo at every clock-in
A photo is taken at the moment of scan, stored against the shift record. Makes disputed attendance claims straightforward to resolve.
Three-point identity verification
PIN, photo and NFC tag location together. Buddy-punching is not possible when the system captures a photo of whoever is holding the device.
Automated payroll reports
Hours calculated and exported automatically, filtered by operative, site or date range. Payroll processing takes minutes rather than hours.
Attendance calendar view
Visual calendar showing every operative's attendance history for any site. Patterns, absences and lateness visible at a glance.
Client attendance proof
Clients log in to see who was on their site and when. Attendance disputes resolve themselves before they become phone calls.
How it works

One tap is all it takes.

There is nothing to configure on the day. Staff tap in, do their job, tap out. The records and reports handle themselves.

1
Fixed NFC reader installed at the site entrance
One reader at the entry point for each site. Staff tap their card or fob against it to trigger clock-in for that location.
2
Staff tap their card and enter PIN
Clock-in is recorded with photo, PIN confirmation, GPS and timestamp in under two seconds.
3
Supervisor sees attendance live
The portal shows who is on shift, who is late and who has not arrived, across all sites, from any browser.
4
Reports generated and sent automatically
Daily attendance summaries and weekly payroll exports compiled without anyone needing to do it manually.
What you need
NFC-enabled Android device
Supplied by Real-Link, pre-loaded and ready to go. iOS is not currently supported due to Apple NFC restrictions.
RFID and NFC tags
Adhesive tags for each checkpoint or inspection point. Supplied and registered in your portal as part of setup.
Web portal access
Any browser, any device. Live data for your team, a separate login for your clients, and reports that run automatically.
No specialist hardware. No server installation. Real-Link is cloud-based and live in days, not months.

Insurance claims can be countered easier and more effectively. Real-Link simplified how we document attendance, communicate issues and provide service transparency across all our sites.
