RCM CONTROL Kiosk

RCM CONTROL Kiosk

B2B, IoT, Hardware, HR

For RCM Group we designed and built their own time clock: the device and the kiosk app that lets employees clock in with a card or a fingerprint, so the client no longer pays for someone else's terminals.

RCM Group, based in Lublin, provides companies with a time and attendance system: clock-in terminals on site and an online panel where HR teams settle hours, overtime and leave. Off-the-shelf terminals were expensive, and their software was closed and outdated, so the client could not develop the product the way they wanted. Together with the client we created a time clock from scratch: we selected the components, designed the screens and built the kiosk app that identifies an employee by contactless card and fingerprint, records punches even without a network connection and guards against double punches on its own. The device is set up on site in a few steps, while updates and diagnostics happen remotely, with no IT department needed on the client's side. The result: a product of their own instead of costly off-the-shelf hardware, and readiness for the next customers.

Challenge we faced

  • Off-the-shelf time clock kiosks were expensive and ran outdated software that could not be adapted to the client's requirements.
  • The fingerprint reader behaved differently from what the manufacturer's documentation described.
  • The devices run on factory floors with unreliable networks, and every punch has to be recorded exactly once.
  • The terminals sit at customers with no IT department, yet they still need updates and remote diagnostics.
