News Facts

• The first time clock built for today’s modern workforce, InTouch is designed around five guiding principles:
  • Unrivaled user experience: While traditional time clocks rely on physical buttons, small displays, and fixed menus, InTouch combines the latest in hardware technology with a powerful user interface to deliver an unrivaled user experience. Its color touch screen, graphical interface, and language hot keys deliver an unprecedented level of personalization which results in faster employee adoption and increased productivity.
  • Seamless integration: With robust self-service capabilities, InTouch enables employees to check accrual balances, request time off, and view schedules all in real-time, unlocking the value of an organization’s existing workforce management solution. In addition, InTouch can be configured to prevent punching outside scheduled start and stop times and can provide an attestation solution for employees to sign off on the accuracy of their timecard. These unique capabilities make InTouch a valuable tool for helping to protect against wage and hour lawsuits.
  • Built for the cloud: The first time clock built for the cloud, InTouch works securely and easily over the internet and through firewalls. Built on proven industry standards, InTouch devices can securely communicate with a private cloud provided by Kronos cloud services or with an existing enterprise cloud. InTouch devices are administrated, monitored, and controlled centrally allowing for easy and secure web-based management of data collection anytime. Users can record their time, check vacation days, or touch a call assistance option to dial a predefined telephone support number and ask questions via a built-in microphone and speaker.
  • Extensible:  During non-peak hours, most time clocks sit idle. InTouch enables organizations to use the device for other functions including opening maintenance tickets, checking sales or census data, executing an employee survey, or delivering a message to employees via video. In addition, Kronos empowers users to create their own applications and share them via the Kronos InTouch App Platform, the industry’s first and only application platform devoted to improving the productivity of the frontline workforce.
  • Rock solid:  With more than 30 years in the business, nobody knows time clocks like Kronos. The InTouch has been put through extensive testing to ensure that it can withstand the harshest of environments.
• InTouch is generally available today in Chinese (traditional and simplified), Dutch, English, French, German, Portuguese, and Spanish.
