Most SMBs running Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central still capture attendance on spreadsheets or paper, then re-key hours into payroll. Employee Time Clock for Business Central removes that gap with a no-hardware punch clock that lives inside BC itself.

ECOSIRE builds this as a per-tenant AL extension (not a generic AppSource listing), so it fits your company configuration, dimensions, and resource/employee master data. Employees punch in and out from a browser on any device, or from a shared tablet running in kiosk mode at the door. Each punch writes to a dedicated time-clock entry table; a job-queue-friendly codeunit rolls raw punches into daily hours-worked per employee, accounting for breaks and unpaid meal periods.

The data model uses real BC building blocks: a custom Time Clock Entry table, page extensions on the Employee card and Resource list, event subscribers that validate punches against open shifts, and permission sets that separate punching (self-service) from approval (manager). Hours are exposed through a custom API page (OData v4) so they can flow to Business Central payroll fields, a Power Platform / Dataverse flow, or an export.

Managers get an approval workflow: review the day, adjust an erroneous punch (audited), then approve. Approved totals become the trusted source for payroll. Lists are filterable and exportable to Excel.

This is honest build-to-order: after purchase we scope with you, build the extension, install it on your sandbox, validate against real punches, then publish it to production. You get a fixed one-time build, source-available extension, and an agreed support window — no app-store gamble, no hardware to buy.
