What it is

PunchFlow is a browser-based employee time clock for small businesses and shift-based teams. At a shared kiosk, employees choose their name and enter a unique four-digit PIN; they do not need an app, login, or individual account. Managers can maintain pay rates and employee history, oversee multiple kiosk locations, and see who is working on a live dashboard. Reports show hours, breaks, and estimated pay by employee and date range, with CSV and PDF export options. Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks, and CSV-compatible payroll tools are listed as destinations, but the current process is CSV export and upload rather than a native payroll API. The employee portal, available on Pro and higher plans, lets staff view timesheets and earnings and flag punches for an administrator. Optional GPS-radius and IP restrictions can limit clock-in locations. The kiosk runs in a browser on tablets, phones, laptops, or desktops without installation. Plans are Free at free, Basic at A$10 a month, Pro at A$25 a month, and Unlimited at A$99 a month.
