This use case demonstrates how to implement a secure and lightweight web-based solution for time tracking in retail operations \u2013 as a complement to Quinyx for workforce scheduling and time management. Time tracking that is both secure, thanks to robust authentication mechanisms, and easy to use is a challenge for retail employees who do not have their own computer or email address.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secure and simple time booking is challenging without physical devices or mobile apps.<\/div>\n \n \n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n

The starting point: Lack of security authentication<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The software solution Quinyx is being introduced for workforce scheduling and time management. However, the provided web punch application for clock-in and clock-out does not offer sufficient security authentication for time bookings in store environments. Alternative approaches such as physical terminals or a mobile application on personal devices are explicitly not desired.<\/p>\n\n\n

Insufficient Authentication Security<\/strong>
The standard web punch solution does not provide reliable authentication for clock-in and clock-out activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Limited Accessibility for All Employee Groups<\/strong>
Temporary workers and employees without corporate email addresses require a secure but simple authentication approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What does our solution look like? Simple web-based time tracking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A lean CAP-based application enables simple and user-friendly web-based time recording. Employees \u2013 including temporary staff without their own email address \u2013 can securely authenticate and reliably perform their time bookings. The solution uses a lightweight SAPUI5-based web frontend, OData integration, and SAP Identity Authentication Service (IAS) as the central identity provider. In three steps, this means:<\/p>\n\n\n
