Scaling Smart: Expanding Your Time Capture Footprint with BundyPlus Multi-Device Solutions

Introduction

Think of your first payroll tech rollout as building the perfect sandcastle. You start with a single tower strong, impressive, and doing the job. But as your team grows and workflows shift, that one tower starts to feel… cramped. People line up to use it. Corners get worn down. And before long, your once-pristine setup is struggling to keep up with the tide.

That’s where expansion comes in.

Just like adding towers, walls, and gates to your sandcastle makes it more functional and resilient, adding additional time capture devices helps your workforce move freely, clock accurately, and stay productive without bottlenecks or confusion.

In this blog post, we’ll explore why expanding your time capture footprint across multiple devices isn’t just smart it’s a game-changer. From biometric terminals to mobile apps and web clocking, we’ll show you how to future-proof your setup and give your employees the flexibility they need to clock in confidently from anywhere.

Let’s dig in.

Why Expand Your Time Capture Footprint?

If you’ve started with a single BundyPlus device, that’s a great first step but limiting your team to one clock-in point can create real-world friction as your operations grow. Expanding your time capture footprint is about more than just convenience. It’s about optimising productivity, increasing visibility, and building resilience into your workforce systems.

Here’s why it matters:

Say Goodbye to Bottlenecks

When everyone’s trying to clock in at the same place and time. Say, at the start of a shift or after a lunch break queues form fast. Not only does this waste valuable time, but it also creates frustration among staff and can cause delays to actual work starting.

Adding additional clocking points. Even just one or two can eliminate this entirely. For example, placing a second device at the rear warehouse entrance or a side office door spreads out foot traffic and keeps shift changes flowing smoothly.

Improve Accuracy and Accountability

When employees have easy access to a time capture device near their actual work area, they’re more likely to clock in and out accurately. And when multiple devices sync to a single platform, you’re not left chasing timesheets or fixing errors caused by rushed or missed clock-ins.

BundyPlus gives you a full audit trail timestamped, location-tagged, and accessible in real time so you can trust your data and your team can trust the process.

Better Coverage for Multi-Site or Multi-Department Teams

If your business operates across several physical locations or even just has distinct zones like front-of-house, back office, production floor, and dispatch it makes sense to place time capture devices in each area. This way, employees clock in where they start their shift, not at a single central point.

For distributed workforces, this also means you can monitor who’s on-site, who’s running late, and who’s clocked off early all from a single dashboard.

Built-in Redundancy and Business Continuity

Let’s face it technology sometimes fails. If one device goes offline, having additional devices in the ecosystem ensures you don’t lose visibility over your workforce. Employees can simply clock in at an alternate point, and BundyPlus handles the syncing once all devices are back online.

Future-Proof Your Growth

What works for 10 employees may not scale to 50. Adding more time capture points today can save headaches tomorrow. As your workforce expands, new departments are formed, or you open additional locations, you’ll already have a scalable foundation in place.

Starting early means your team gets used to the system, and your HR/payroll team won’t be overwhelmed trying to implement new infrastructure under pressure.

Easier Compliance and Audit Readiness

Many industries now require detailed time and attendance records for audits, awards compliance, and workplace safety. Having multiple time capture points improves the granularity of your records showing not just when someone clocked in, but also where. That level of transparency is invaluable during audits or disputes.

Real-World Use Case: From Single Site to Multi-Site

Let’s say you’re running a manufacturing business with a single BundyPlus biometric terminal installed at the front entrance. It’s worked brilliantly for years, staff clock in, head to the floor, and everything runs like clockwork.

Then, business picks up. You open a second warehouse across town. Some employees start splitting their time between sites. Others are hired specifically for the new location. Suddenly, that single terminal isn’t cutting it anymore.

Rather than duplicate your entire system or start from scratch, BundyPlus makes it easy to scale. You simply add another biometric terminal at the new site. Both devices sync seamlessly to your existing BundyPlus account, giving you real-time visibility across both locations from one central dashboard.

Need even more flexibility? Add our mobile app for field staff visiting suppliers, or web clocking for your admin team working remotely. It’s the same platform, same data integrity just more ways for your people to stay connected and compliant.

Result: No more manual data entry. No missed clock-ins. No staff waiting in line to log time. Just a streamlined, multi-site setup that grows as you do.

One Platform, Many Devices

Effortless Syncing, Zero Headaches

One of the biggest concerns we hear from businesses expanding their time capture setup is, “Will everything still work together?” With BundyPlus, the answer is a resounding yes.

Whether you’re adding a second biometric terminal, enabling mobile clock-ins for field staff, or setting up web access for remote worker everything syncs automatically to your central platform. No patchy imports, no messy manual uploads. Just clean, real-time data flowing where it needs to go.

Clock-ins from any device are instantly visible in your dashboard, and changes made in the system (like new employees, shift changes, or job codes) are pushed out to every connected device without you lifting a finger.

Plus, our hybrid cloud technology means your data is safe, backed up, and accessible even if your internet connection drops out temporarily. Devices can store offline punches and sync them automatically once reconnected. It’s smart, seamless, and built to scale so you can focus on running your business, not managing your tech stack.

Scalable for Every Stage

Whether you're managing a crew of 5 or a workforce of 500, BundyPlus is built to grow with you. Many businesses start with a single device often just to test the waters and quickly discover the value of expanding their time capture setup as operations scale.

What sets BundyPlus apart is our modular, plug-and-play approach. You can add new devices, features, or users when you need them without needing to rebuild your entire system. There’s no "rip and replace." Just smooth, flexible expansion on your terms.

Fun Facts About Time and Attendance

Long before apps, spreadsheets, and biometric scanners, ancient Egyptians were already managing work shifts using the sun! They invented sundials to divide the day into 12-hour periods and used water clocks to track time more accurately.

These timekeeping tools helped organize large-scale construction projects (like, say, the pyramids). It might not be "clock in, clock out," but it proves workforce time management has always been essential even 5,000 years ago.

The modern time and attendance system owes a lot to a man named Willard Bundy (yep, that name might sound familiar). In 1888, he invented the very first mechanical time clock, letting workers "punch in" when they arrived and "punch out" when they left. This simple but genius device helped employers keep accurate records of work hours and marked the beginning of a new era in workforce management.

Fast forward to today, and time tracking has gone fully sci-fi. Employees can now clock in using facial recognition, fingerprint scans, or geofencing apps that detect when they arrive at a job site. No more lost punch cards or buddy clock-ins—just smooth, secure, and automated time capture. Some systems even let you track breaks, job codes, and shifts from your phone. Time and attendance tech isn’t just about keeping records anymore, it’s about making life easier for businesses and their teams.

Final Thoughts: The Right Tools Make All the Difference

Expanding your time capture footprint isn’t about collecting more data, it’s about unlocking smarter, smoother operations for your business. With BundyPlus, you get the freedom to grow at your own pace, knowing your time tracking system will keep up every step of the way.

Whether you’re looking to reduce clock-in bottlenecks, manage multiple sites, or give your remote team more flexibility, a multi-device setup puts control back in your hands and clarity back in your reporting.

No two businesses are the same, and neither are their workflows. That’s why BundyPlus offers one unified platform that works across many devices, so you can build the time capture setup that fits your world and not the other way around.
