Scheduling platform vs time clock
Deputy is strongest at scheduling: rosters, labor forecasting, shift swaps and compliance. Its time clock is part of that system.
KioskClock is only the time clock, so there's less to configure and the price doesn't scale with headcount.
Choose Deputy if…
- You need shift scheduling with labor cost forecasting
- You manage multiple locations with managers at each
- You want compliance features for breaks and award rules
Choose KioskClock if…
- Everyone clocks in at the same place, and you want that to be one scan
- You don't want employees installing an app or remembering a login
- You want one flat price that doesn't grow with every hire
- You need clean hours for payroll, not a full HR suite
