Most UK factories and production units still rely on outdated systems — and pay the price every month.
Manually collecting, checking and transcribing shift records for 20–50 operatives costs your admin team up to 10 hours every week. That's time your business can't afford to lose.
Hardware terminals fail, get damaged on the factory floor, and cost £800–£2,000 to install per site. When they go offline, attendance records disappear with them.
Manual attendance systems carry a ~15% error rate. For a production business with 20–30 employees, that translates to £1,500–£2,000 in payroll mistakes every year.
NoBadge replaces every piece of time tracking hardware with a smartphone. Here's what your factory gets from day one.
Print or display a dynamic QR code at each production line entrance. Workers scan with their phone — clock-in registered in under 3 seconds. The QR regenerates every second, so screenshots are useless.
For workers across multiple sites or outdoor production yards, GPS clock-in confirms location at the moment of punch. Configurable geofence radius per site. Anti-spoofing layer built in.
Manage rotating shifts, day/night patterns and variable rotas from one admin panel. Managers approve changes with a tap. Workers see their schedule in real time on their phone.
Hours worked, overtime, absences and lateness — calculated automatically per employee, shift or production line. Export to Excel in one click for payroll. No manual spreadsheet work.
Run multiple factories, warehouses or production units from a single admin dashboard. No extra cost per site. Ideal for manufacturers with dispersed operations across the UK.
If a worker doesn't clock in at shift start, the system notifies the line manager instantly. No more discovering absences mid-shift when production is already disrupted.
Try the QR Code clock-in and real-time dashboard your production team will use every day.
Production Line A — Morning Shift 06:00
Regenerates every second — screenshots cannot be reused
The Working Time Regulations 1998 require UK employers to keep adequate records of working hours for all workers — including factory operatives, shift workers and part-time production staff. Failure to maintain accurate records exposes manufacturers to enforcement action by the Health and Safety Executive and Employment Tribunal claims.
NoBadge automatically generates a complete, timestamped attendance log for every worker on every shift. Records are stored securely on EU servers, fully GDPR compliant, and exportable for audit at any time.

"NoBadge generates a complete, verifiable attendance record for every shift — exactly what the Working Time Regulations require. No manual work, no gaps, no disputes."

Everything UK manufacturing and production managers ask before switching to NoBadge.
No. NoBadge is a Progressive Web App (PWA) — workers simply open a link on their smartphone browser. There is nothing to download from the App Store or Google Play. It works on any Android or iOS device with a modern browser, which covers virtually every smartphone in use today.
Yes. NoBadge supports multiple shift patterns including day, afternoon and night shifts, rotating rotas and variable schedules. Managers configure shift patterns from the admin panel, and workers see their assigned schedule on their phone. Overtime is calculated automatically based on the configured shift hours.
NoBadge sends an automatic notification to the worker and their line manager if a clock-out is missing at shift end. Managers can manually correct or close shifts from the admin dashboard. All adjustments are logged with a timestamp and the manager's identity for audit purposes.
Yes. NoBadge automatically records the start time, end time and total hours worked for every shift, per worker. This satisfies the record-keeping obligations under the Working Time Regulations 1998. Records are stored securely and can be exported at any time for HMRC, HSE or Employment Tribunal purposes. The platform is also fully GDPR compliant with EU-hosted data storage.
Yes. NoBadge supports unlimited production sites under a single admin account at no extra cost. Each site can have its own QR code clock-in point or GPS geofence. You monitor all sites from one dashboard and generate reports per site, per team or across the whole business.
NoBadge uses two anti-fraud mechanisms. The dynamic QR code regenerates every second, making screenshots useless — a worker must be physically present at the clock-in point to scan. GPS clock-in verifies the worker's actual location at the moment of punch, with a configurable geofence radius and an anti-spoofing layer that detects fake GPS signals.
NoBadge saves UK manufacturing businesses up to 10 admin hours per week. Setup takes 2 minutes. Your first 15 days are completely free.
