If you already use time tracking devices or want to purchase a time tracking terminal, you have the following options:
Purchase a time tracking device from a Timebutler-compatible vendor
There are vendors of time tracking devices who have adapted their devices to work with Timebutler. You can request a non-binding quote for the devices. You can set up the devices in a few minutes, and they integrate fully with Timebutler. Vendors offer various devices with RFID chips, PIN entry, smart cards, and much more.
We are happy to tell you on request which vendors you can obtain suitable offers from.
Connect third-party time tracking devices
You can connect third-party time tracking devices to the [Timebutler interface (API)(/interface-api/api-settings/enable-the-api/).
To connect the device to Timebutler, it must be able to issue so-called HTTP requests. Please ask your hardware vendor whether the device you want supports this. For the vendor to process the request:
Our interface provides two different connection options. The vendor finds the information in the “timeclock” endpoint and the “timeimportbyevents” endpoint in our documentation:

Timebutler time tracking terminal
Instead of using a third-party hardware-based time tracking solution, you can also use the time tracking terminal that is integrated into Timebutler.
You can activate the time tracking terminal on a standard tablet. Place the tablet at the office or company entrance (there are professional mounts for tablets), and every employee can then clock their time at the time tracking terminal in the morning with just a few clicks. You thus get a full-fledged time tracking terminal for the low price of a tablet - and have the times automatically integrated directly into Timebutler.
The time tracking terminal is included at no extra cost in the Timebutler flat rate. You can therefore activate it without any additional costs. You can find [more information about the time tracking terminal(/time-tracking/time-clock-terminal/time-tracking-terminal-on-a-tablet/) here.
You can find more information by logging in to Timebutler as an admin, then clicking “Settings > More..” at the bottom left, then “Time tracking” on the right, and then the “Time tracking terminal” tab on that page.
