After we introduced QR-based attendance tracking, we moved into the 21st century. The terminal with a personal chip or card can comfortably retire. I would particularly like to highlight the communication with the developer, who was really quick and professional at implementing even the individual requirements from our HR department. Great work 👍

Frequently Asked Questions About QR Code Time Tracking

Every QR code scan records the GPS location of the employee's phone. Even if someone copies the QR code, we know exactly where they scanned it. You can see every clock-in location on a map and receive email alerts when someone scans from an unexpected location. This makes buddy punching practically impossible. All of this without collecting a single piece of biometric data — see attendance without biometrics.
Yes! Create unlimited branches, locations, or project sites - each with its own unique QR code. Track how much time employees spend at each location. Perfect for construction companies with multiple job sites, restaurant chains, retail stores, or any business with distributed teams. Reports can be filtered by location for accurate project costing and client billing.
No. Our time tracking app uses server time, not the phone clock. We also cross-reference with GPS timestamps. If an employee tries to manipulate their phone time, the system detects the discrepancy and flags it for review.
Yes! Fresh QR works without internet connection. When employees scan a QR code offline, the clock-in is saved locally on their phone with GPS coordinates and timestamp. Once they reconnect to WiFi or mobile data, everything syncs automatically. Perfect for construction sites, warehouses, or areas with poor connectivity.
Nothing but a printer! Unlike biometric terminals or RFID card systems that cost thousands, Fresh QR requires zero hardware investment. Print your unique QR code on paper and tape it to the wall. Employees use their own smartphones to scan it. That's it.
Yes — Fresh QR is free for 30 days with every feature included, and the mobile app stays completely free for all employees, forever. After the trial, pricing starts at just a few euros per active employee per month, and we only charge for employees who work 40+ hours monthly - contractors, part-timers, and seasonal workers who work less are free. See exactly what's free and what isn't →
Absolutely! Seasonal workers, part-timers, and contractors all use the same free mobile app. If they work less than 40 hours in a month, you pay nothing for them. Scale up in busy season, scale down in quiet periods - you only pay for active workers.
The Fresh QR attendance system costs €1.95 per active employee per month — active meaning they worked 40 or more hours that month. Anyone below that threshold is free, and annual billing saves another 20%. There is no terminal hardware to buy and nothing to install: a printed QR code and the phones your people already carry are enough. Your first 30 days include every feature for free — see the pricing page for details.
Most countries legally require employers to track employee working hours for payroll, overtime calculation, and labor law compliance. Beyond legal requirements, time tracking helps control labor costs, identify attendance patterns, calculate accurate payroll, and prevent time theft. Companies using digital time tracking report 2-5% reduction in labor costs from eliminating buddy punching and time rounding errors.
Yes — the free Fresh QR app runs on both Android and iOS, so employees clock in with whatever phone they already own. The app includes: QR code and NFC clock-in/out, GPS location verification, automatic overtime calculation, break tracking (automatic or manual), vacation and sick leave requests, home office tracking, real-time dashboard showing who is at work, detailed reports exportable to Excel, unlimited branches and projects, and email notifications. All features are included in every plan. More about the app itself on the QR attendance app for Android page.
Biometric terminals (fingerprint, face recognition) cost $500-2000+ per device, require professional installation, break down, and create bottlenecks when many employees arrive at once. QR code attendance costs nothing to set up, works on any smartphone, never breaks, and employees can clock in simultaneously from multiple entrances. GPS verification provides the same anti-fraud protection as biometrics, without the hardware investment. Read more about the hardware-free time clock alternative →
