What software is used today with a ZKTeco time clock?
A ZKTeco time clock comes with manufacturer software to install on a Windows computer (Attendance Management, ZKTime.Net or ZKBio Time). It lives on a single computer, needs one installation per site, and the hours calculation often ends up in Excel.
TEMPO replaces all of this with a single online workspace for all your sites.
