The complete Swiss package: Hardware and software with Timesheet Premium for Odoo from braintec

With contactless time tracking at the terminal, companies save valuable time. However, the evaluation often involves a high effort: How are overtime hours calculated? What happens with night shift bonuses? How do you ensure compliance with the Swiss Labor Act (ArG)?

Here is where Swiss expertise from braintec comes in: Odoo Timesheet Premium by braintec specifically enhances standard Odoo time tracking specifically for Swiss companies, connecting your biometric terminal with your Odoo ERP software to create a perfectly tuned all-in-one package.

The highlights of the legally compliant Swiss Odoo time tracking from braintec

Swiss Compliance & Labor Law (ArG): Automated checking of legally required break times with warnings or automatic deductions depending on the hours worked.

Cantonal public holidays: For companies with employees across different locations, the system automatically accounts for the specific cantonal holidays of each workplace.

Biometric smart access: The key benefits for Swiss companies

Multi-biometrics and intuitive operation
The biometric access system enables both traditional fingerprint and contactless identification of face and palm. This ensures maximum hygiene at the workplace. Employees are verified in less than 0.3 seconds and from a distance of up to 3 meters. The technology intelligently adapts to different lighting conditions, and the operation via touchscreen is self-explanatory and comfortable.

Highest data protection through local data storage
Data protection is the top priority when collecting biometric data. Therefore, all biometric features are stored locally on the access terminal. The device processes the data independently and only sends the final, encrypted timestamps (check-in/check-out bookings) to your Odoo database.

Thanks to generous storage capacities, the system architecture is suitable for companies of any sizes and is always ready for use thanks to the offline mode, even if the network should fail.

Flexibility with RFID
In addition to biometrics, traditional badges or key fobs also function as access control via RFID tags. This keeps your system maximally flexible and perfectly adapts to every employee and every scenario – whether in production, gastronomy, or modern Swiss SMEs.

“Out of the Box” connection to your Odoo system
One of the biggest hurdles in introducing new hardware is often the complex IT integration. High-end terminals like the one from ZKTeco in our example can be practically and “out of the box” connected directly to your Odoo environment. From version Odoo 20 onwards, the ZKTeco terminals will be integrated by default into the Odoo ERP system. This ensures the necessary technological precision for smooth time tracking.
