Frequently asked questions.

Hold your smartphone to the NFC tag – time tracking starts automatically, no manual entry required. To stop, simply scan again. The entry is immediately assigned to the right location or project and available instantly in TimeTac.
That depends on your preferred setup. For the mobile option, all you need is an NFC-enabled smartphone and NFC stickers – affordable, no power required and no installation needed. If you prefer a fixed solution, combine NFC/RFID chips with a terminal – no smartphone required. Both options can run in parallel within the same TimeTac system.
Yes. TimeTac meets legal requirements for work time recording and is GDPR-compliant. NFC tags themselves store no personal data – all data is processed and stored exclusively in TimeTac.
Yes. A single NFC tag can be used by any number of employees – TimeTac identifies who logged the entry based on the account they’re signed in with. This makes NFC particularly practical for shared locations such as machines, vehicles or meeting rooms.
Yes. In TimeTac, time entries can be corrected easily via the app or web app, with a defined approval process. All changes remain documented and traceable.
TimeTac offers multiple tracking methods: mobile app via smartphone, fixed terminals or browser-based entry at a PC. NFC can be combined with any of these – employees can use whichever method suits the situation.
NFC is ideal for businesses where employees don’t have a fixed office workstation or need to document hours directly on site – such as cleaning, care, construction, security or facility management. But NFC also works well in office environments: for location-based entries in meeting rooms or shared vehicle fleets.
