Employees can approve hours directly on the clock, ensuring accuracy and accountability. The system also supports attestations, union compliance rules, unlimited job codes, and labor transfers.
Advanced biometric security
Eliminate buddy punching and time theft with state-of-the-art biometric options. TCP’s privacy-compliant fingerprint scanners protect your bottom line and maintain exact attendance records.
Flexible punch options
Every workforce is different. That’s why we offer multiple ways for your employees to record their time, including:
- Touchless Facial Recognition
- Fingerprint Scanning
- RFID and Barcode Badges
- PIN Entry
Unmatched reliability and durability
Your business doesn’t stop, and neither should your time clocks. Our hardware withstands high-traffic environments and tough physical conditions to deliver consistent performance shift after shift, year after year.
No more clunky middleware
Instead of a point-to-point data feed, our middleware sits between the physical time clocks and your Oracle system. It translates data, processes rules, and holds information for manager review until you’re ready to sync it with Oracle.
Extend your ERP capabilities
Need more timekeeping functions? TCP Direct offers additional add-ons to extend the power of your Oracle Time & Labor system, including:
What is TCP Direct?
Unlike vendors that only provide data collection devices, TCP Direct serves as an intelligent extension of your Human Capital Management system. It transforms raw punch data into clean, accurate and compliant information before it reaches your core HCM/ERP systems.
Do TCP clocks integrate with Oracle?
Yes. TCP Direct offers Oracle-certified integrations specifically built for Oracle Time and Labor, Oracle Fusion and PeopleSoft HCM. Our solution handles complex labor data, ensuring your Oracle environment receives accurate data. This means fewer correction cycles, compliance confidence and smoother paydays for your team.
What other functionality can I add to the clocks?
Because our hardware is backed by our TimeClock Plus software, you can configure advanced workforce capabilities as your operational needs grow or change. Optional add-ons include advanced time calculations for shift differentials, tracking hour limits to manage margin impact, comprehensive leave management, and guardrails that create confidence in complex union compliance. You can configure the system to manage these rules right at the clock level, giving you greater labor control and ensuring accurate job costing.
What if I change my HCM or ERP platform?
TCP Direct protects your hardware investment. If your organization decides to migrate from Oracle to another major platform like Workday or SAP, you can reconfigure the integration without having to replace your physical time clocks or rebuild from scratch. Our software-backed hardware adapts to your changing business needs, providing a reliable operational lifespan of 10+ years.
What kind of support does TCP offer?
TCP offers award-winning customer support, including implementation guidance, training, and ongoing technical assistance. Our team is available 24/7 (with live support in under a minute) to help you troubleshoot issues, optimize your setup, and keep your system running smoothly. Need a new clock?TCP ships replacements from Texas overnight to anywhere in the world.
What happens if my clock goes down?
Our hardware is built for enterprise environments and designed for continuous punch collection. If network connectivity drops, the clocks store punches locally offline. Once connectivity is restored, our clocks automatically sync the data to our middleware and then to Oracle. You experience no lapses in data capture and maintain real-time clarity into employee time.
Stop settling for disconnected systems
When hardware fails to talk to your Oracle software, HR teams spend hours fixing errors and chasing down missing punches. TCP Software eliminates this friction by providing a single, reliable bridge between your frontline workers and your back-office Oracle system.
