Frequently asked questions

You can use any Android tablet (version 8.0 or higher) to create a biometric time clock for your retail store. We recommend tablets with front-facing cameras for facial recognition. Popular options include Samsung Galaxy Tab, Amazon Fire HD, and Lenovo tablets—even budget models starting at £150 work perfectly. The Uptivity app also works on iOS and Android smartphones for mobile clock-in. No expensive biometric terminals needed.

Uptivity's facial recognition technology uses advanced algorithms that can identify employees even when wearing face masks, sunglasses, or hats. The system analyzes multiple facial features beyond just the mouth and nose. If facial recognition fails (which is rare), employees can use backup methods: fingerprint touch, voice command, or 4-digit PIN with photo verification. Our system maintains 99.7% accuracy across all authentication methods.

Absolutely! Our Starter plan begins at just £45/month and is perfect for single-location retailers, boutiques, convenience stores, or small shops with up to 25 employees. You get the same powerful features as larger chains including biometric time clock, shift scheduling, and payroll integration. Many customers start with one location and expand as they grow. Unlike expensive enterprise systems requiring £12,000+ upfront, Uptivity scales affordably.

Employees download the Uptivity mobile app on their smartphone. When they clock in, the app captures their GPS coordinates. You set a geofence radius (from 1 meter to unlimited) around each work location. If someone tries to clock in outside the designated area, the system prevents it and notifies you instantly. This ensures field sales reps, delivery drivers, or traveling managers are at customer locations when they claim to be. Perfect for vape wholesalers, retail chains, and e-commerce delivery operations.

Yes! Uptivity includes built-in compliance features for UK, Irish, and international labor laws: automatic break enforcement, overtime alerts before thresholds, Fair Workweek compliance, Working Time Directive (48-hour rule), under-18 employee restrictions, and custom jurisdiction rules. The system generates audit reports showing compliance history, perfect for inspections or legal defense. Employers paid £230M+ in back wages in 2023 for violations—don't be one of them.

Most retailers save £11,000-£24,000 in the first year. Traditional systems cost £2,000-£5,000 hardware per location + £150-£300/month software + £500-£1,500 installation + £50-£100/month maintenance = £12,000-£25,000 for 3 locations. Uptivity costs £0 hardware (use £150 tablets) + £45-£95/month software + £0 installation (5-minute DIY) + £0 maintenance = £540-£1,140. That's £11,000-£24,000 saved, plus you'll reduce overtime by 35% and eliminate buddy punching.

Key differences: Hardware - Uptivity requires no expensive terminals (save £2,000+ per location). Pricing - £45/month vs. £150-£300/month. Setup - 5 minutes vs. 2-4 weeks. Features - work orders and checklists included (competitors charge extra). Support - UK-based team vs. outsourced. Integration - connects with full Uptivity ecosystem (JustSell e-commerce, Delivity delivery, MaintainPad CMMS).
