In the era of teleworking, time clocks are still in fashion

We thought of these small boxes at the entrance to companies reserved for blue-collar workers, vestiges of the industrial France of the Trente Glorieuses. However, clocking systems have never stopped being sold in France and have gone beyond the borders of the secondary sector alone. To do this, these tools have considerably broadened their range of functions, beyond simple clocking in at the start of shift and end of service hours. “Today, talking about a time clock rather than a time management system is like talking about a telephone instead of a smartphone, as you can do so many other things with it,” says Éric Ruty, Managing Director from Bodet Software.
