A small-team toolkit, not a giant HR suite.
Start with the core timekeeping workflow. Roadmap items are listed separately so you can see what is—and is not—available.
An employee time clock built for small business
Give employees a clear start, break and finish to the workday. Keep the record in one place instead of scattered across paper, messages and spreadsheets.
Explore →Early-access workflowEmployee timesheets that are easier to review
Put completed shifts, missing clock-outs and approval decisions into one manageable review routine.
Explore →Early-access workflowExport employee hours without changing payroll providers
Download reviewed worked-hour records as CSV and hand them to the person who already runs your payroll.
Explore →Early-access workflowSee who is clocked in, without chasing messages
Use the manager view to spot active shifts and missing clock-outs inside your own company.
Explore →Early-access workflowGive employees a clear view of their own hours
A time clock should be understandable to the people using it—not just the person running payroll.
Explore →Early-access workflowMake timecard corrections understandable
Keep a reason and a record when a manager changes a time entry.
Explore →Early-access workflowSeparate employee access from manager responsibilities
Use the right access for each person instead of sharing a single company password.
Explore →Early-access workflowA small-team rollout you can understand
Set up the essentials, prove the workflow with a few people, and expand when your team is comfortable.
Explore →Early-access workflowEmployee scheduling software for small crews
Build the week on a simple board, publish it when it is ready and see conflicts before they become a no-show. Employees see their published shifts on their own Schedule page, right next to the time clock.
Explore →Early-access workflowGPS clock-in verification for field crews
Confirm that a crew member was at the worksite when they clocked in. Gates checks the phone's location once, at clock-in, with the employee's permission. It does not track anyone during the shift.
Explore →Early-access workflowGeofencing for jobsite time clocks
Define each worksite with an address and a radius, then have Gates flag or block clock-ins that happen too far away. You choose how strict to be.
Explore →Early-access workflowTime off requests for small teams
Employees ask for time off from their own account and managers approve or decline it from one queue. No paper forms, no lost texts.
Explore →Early-access workflowShared tablet time clock kiosk with PIN punch
Put one tablet by the door or in the shop and let a crew clock in with a personal PIN. Kiosk mode is built to reset itself so the next person starts clean.
Explore →Early-access workflowJob time tracking for crews and service teams
Let employees pick the job they are working when they clock in, then see labor hours by job. Jobs can be tied to a worksite or left open.
Explore →Early-access workflowTimesheet exceptions: catch late arrivals and missed punches
Gates flags the entries that usually cause payroll questions, so a manager reviews a short list instead of reading every timecard.
Explore →Early-access workflowOpen shifts and shift swaps without the group text
Let employees ask to pick up an open shift or trade one of their own, and approve each change in one place. Nothing on the schedule changes until a manager says yes.
Explore →Early-access workflowLabor hours reports and overtime tracking
Daily and weekly hours, overtime, exceptions, labor by job and by worksite, and pay-period totals, ready to review before payroll. Export the result as a CSV for your payroll provider.
Explore →Early-access workflowOffline time clock app: punch in with no signal
Lose signal at the job site and the clock keeps working. Punches are saved on the phone with the time they were tapped and sent when the connection returns, so crews are not paid short or asked to guess.

Lose the unnecessary overhead.
