Three easy ways to make staff time-tracking a breeze
Virtual clock in and out boundaries
Blip's geofence feature helps you create a virtual boundary using GPS. Allowing employees to clock in or out when they enter or leave your set area.
Take full control of your workforce with customisable geofence settings. Define precise boundaries for clocking in and out to ensure your employees are where they need to be.
Blip's GPS technology seamlessly detects these virtual boundaries, prompting your staff to clock in or out as they enter or leave the designated area. With geofencing, you can wave goodbye to the uncertainty of remote work hours and empower your team to thrive.
Seamless QR code clock in solution
Easily create a QR code, print it, and showcase it in your workspace. Motivate your team to clock in and out in seconds with a quick scan using the Blip app.
Convenient clock ins on ANY device
As well as being a clock in app, Blip is fully integrated into BrightHR, so staff who don't have smartphones or don't want to use their own devices can clock in and out from their work computers.

Our time-tracking app—Blip—lets you maintain flexibility with none of the stress. You can opt to create virtual boundaries called geofences around your worksites no matter where they are. Your employees will be auto-alerted to clock in and out whenever they enter or leave the geofenced location. It’s an easy and secure way to help your employees take control of their hours and keep their timesheets accurate.
