tocko
for one building

Time tracking
for schools.

Built for one building and the person who runs it. A tablet by the office door, a PIN for each staff member, and a week of hours that is already added up before Friday afternoon.

what this looks like in one building

A school does not need district software. It needs the sign in sheet to stop being a sign in sheet. The clipboard by the office window works right up until somebody writes 7:4 and walks off, or forgets to sign out, or signs in on behalf of a colleague who is running late. Then it is the school secretary reconstructing a week from memory on a Friday afternoon.

Tocko replaces the clipboard with a tablet in the same spot. Staff tap a PIN and press one of six buttons. There is nothing to learn, which matters more than it sounds, because the people using it are arriving at 6:45 with their hands full and are never going to sit through a training session.

Everything after the tap happens on its own. Punches become a weekly timesheet for each person, with daily and weekly totals already calculated. The office opens the week, sees at a glance who is missing a punch out, fixes it, ticks the week off and exports. What used to be an afternoon is about five minutes.

It runs on devices a school already owns. An iPad off a retired cart, a Chromebook, an old laptop with a current browser. Kiosk mode takes over the screen so nothing else on the device is reachable, which is the practical requirement when the thing sits unattended in a hallway all day.

And nothing here is a smaller version of something else. If the district later decides to put every campus on it, the same account grows to cover the other buildings. There is no migration, and no moment where the school has to start again on the grown up product.

the parts a school office actually cares about

Written from the side of the desk where the timesheets land.

one tablet

Set it up once and leave it

Register the device, switch on kiosk mode, and it stays on the punch screen. Nobody has to unlock it in the morning or find the right tab again.

no email

Works for staff without a mailbox

An employee ID and a PIN is a complete account. Nobody is locked out because IT never got round to issuing them one.

forgot pin

Most forgotten PINs are not your problem

Anybody with an email address on file resets their own from the kiosk. For staff without one, you reset it, which keeps the office out of most of the September queue rather than all of it.

corrections

Fixing a missed punch takes seconds

Somebody left without clocking out. Open the timesheet, correct the entry, and the change is recorded with your name against it.

friday

The week is already added up

Daily and weekly totals build as punches arrive. There is nothing left to total, and no spreadsheet formula to get quietly wrong.

one price

No cost per person

Twelve staff or two hundred, it is the same subscription. Adding an aide in October costs nothing, so nobody gets left off to save money.

who is clocking in at a school

One building, one device, and a staff list that has never fitted a tidy category.

Front office and attendance
The people who will actually administer this. They sign in with a password on a laptop rather than a PIN on the shared tablet.
Instructional aides and paraprofessionals
Hours that move around the timetable week to week. The weekly total is right without anybody keeping a running tally.
Cafeteria staff
In for breakfast, out, back for lunch. Several punch pairs in a day is normal here and needs no special handling.
Custodians
On site long after the office has gone home. The device keeps taking punches with nobody supervising it.
After school and extended day staff
Short shifts, often only some days of the week, sometimes staff who also work a different job earlier in the day.
Substitutes and part time help
Added in a minute, and removed just as easily. Because pricing is flat, a sub who works two days still gets a proper record of them.
straight answers

school questions

We only have one campus. Is this overkill?

No. The price does not assume a district and neither does the setup. A single school signs up the same way, runs one device, and simply never opens the multi campus parts unless it grows into them.

Can staff clock in from their phones?

Yes, if you want them to. The punch screen runs in any browser and installs to a home screen like an app. Plenty of schools deliberately keep punches on the building's device instead, and that is a setting rather than a different product.

What if somebody forgets to clock out?

The timesheet shows the gap and an admin corrects it, with the correction recorded against their name. Automatic punch out can also sweep late each evening for shifts left open and file them as ending at an hour you choose, so a forgotten Friday does not read as a fifty hour day.

Does it handle split shifts?

Yes. Somebody can punch in and out as many times in a day as the work needs, and each pair is recorded separately. An unpaid lunch is handled by punching out for it rather than by a separate lunch button.

How many devices can we run?

As many as you like. Devices are unlimited, so a second tablet by the gym entrance or one in the kitchen costs nothing extra.

Will people with low vision or limited dexterity be able to use it?

That is a requirement here rather than a feature. We build to WCAG 2.2 Level AA, scan every screen the automated suite covers on every change, and offer badge sign in so nobody has to memorize and retype a PIN. The accessibility statement claims partial conformance and lists what is not yet covered, including a full screen reader pass, and it is worth reading before you buy.
