Time clocks have come a long way from the mechanical punch clocks of the past. Over the past 50 years, digital time clocks have taken over the space, offering a modern solution to an age-old problem – how to effectively and accurately manage your people.  
 
But a time clock from 1990, or even 2012 is a long way from what they can do today. And the GT8 is leading the charge with innovation and user simplicity. As GT Clocks’ flagship HCM device, the features of the GT8 go far beyond simple time and attendance management to embody something far more exciting – a new way to propel your business with rich data and streamlined processes.

Accuracy and Security for the Modern Workforce 

Security and reliability are at the heart of the GT8, with the option of advanced biometric identification. You can choose from facial recognition, fingerprint scanning, or a combination of both (as well as more traditional means, such as proximity fobs and cards) to ensure accurate tracking of your employees’ time. And let’s not forget just how powerful the GT8 is – the device can clock someone in or out in under a second, making it a useful companion at the start and end of shifts.  

For many of GT8’s users, the effortless efficiency of employee time tracking sets it apart. Staff feel assured by the reliable clocking—they’ll always receive accurate remuneration for their worked hours. For management, there’s the elimination of time theft via buddy punching. It’s a win-win. 

But above all else, the GT8 provides absolute data privacy assurance. The GT8 has been designed with compliance in mind. The inbuilt robust encryption protocols protect sensitive employee information and ensure you remain compliant with data regulations – whether that’s in the US, Europe, UK or Asia.  

Growing with Your Evolving Needs

Giving the GT8 an Android-based operating system was a considered decision – while GT Clocks also offers HCM solutions using Linux, like the GT10, our flagship device seals its longevity by using the familiar framework that Android provides.

It helps create a secure and useful ecosystem with your existing apps and systems, allowing you to design a workflow that reduces admin, speeds up processes and utilizes data to make strategic decisions. The GT8 takes things a step further, however, by enabling you to customize the device to suit the needs of your organization. Whether you operate in manufacturing, healthcare, or another industry, the GT8 provides a flexible platform for your workforce management. 

How HCM Delivers Profits 

Here’s what really matters – the tangible benefits that the GT8 can provide: 

  • Accurate Payroll: Staff are paid for the hours they work, and buddy punching is a thing of the past. 
  • Reduced Security Risks: Data privacy is ensured, derisking your business in one of the most essential ways. 
  • Improved Hygiene: The touchless interface helps maintain a healthy workforce, which is especially critical in healthcare or food-related industries. 
  • Optimized Workforce Management: You can use collected data to make informed scheduling and staffing needs decisions. 

The GT8: More Than a Time Clock 

The GT8 is more than just a time clock. It’s a powerful tool that helps you streamline operations, enhance security, and make data-driven decisions that benefit your business.
