How to Connect Remote ShopClock Clients to the Network Server

Use a VPN Connection to connect ShopClock to Remote Locations

Using a vpn to connect to the ShopClock database is pretty much obsolete; now days there is better way; Just put the database in the clouds. Please look at this page.

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) connection allows you to securely connect one computer to another through the internet.

There are several advantages to this.

  • Only a single network subscription (large enough to cover the total number of employees needs to be purchased).
  • Time cards for all locations can be processed at the same time.
  • The administrator has instant access to all the time time cards at all the locations.
  • ShopClock can be configured (by using departments) to allow only those employees belonging to particular department access to the time clock. This way employees at each location only see the employees working at that location.
