Careberry Introduces NFC-Based Staff Clock In & Out

In the ever-evolving landscape of care management, ensuring the security and efficiency of staff operations has remained a paramount concern. Traditionally, care management software systems have leaned on methods such as QR codes, one-time codes, and similar mechanisms for carers to clock in and out of client visits. While prevalent, these methods have shown significant limitations in security and reliability, posing risks to both providers and clients alike.

?

At Careberry, we're committed to advancing how care providers manage and monitor staff visits. From the inception of our platform, we recognized the importance of giving providers comprehensive control over staff attendance and operations. While GPS-based clock-in and out has been a standard feature from the start, feedback from our community highlighted a demand for even greater oversight and security for some providers.

?

Responding to this, we're excited to unveil our latest feature! NFC clock-ins and outs for Care visits. NFC offers a leap in security and efficiency, addressing the critical flaws of previous systems.

What is NFC?

Near Field Communication (NFC) is a technology that enables short-range communication between compatible devices. Think of it as a highly secure, contactless way for devices to communicate with each other. The staff simply tap their phone on an NFC tag and Careberry will automatically clock them in. This technology underpins the operation of contactless payments, access control, and now, within Careberry!

Why NFC?

• Enhanced Security: NFC tags cannot be duplicated with the ease that QR codes can, significantly reducing the risk of unauthorized access or fraudulent activities.
• Durability: Unlike physical codes that can be damaged or lost, NFC tags offer a robust solution that withstands the test of time and use.
• Data Protection: Our NFC system is designed with privacy in mind. No data is stored on the tags, ensuring that even if a tag is misplaced, your client's information remains secure.
• Simplicity and Efficiency: Clocking in and out with NFC is quick and straightforward, saving valuable time for carers and ensuring accurate tracking of visit times.

Commitment to Innovation

Choosing NFC over the more common QR code system was a decision driven by our dedication to security, reliability, and user experience. While the easier route might have been to adopt existing practices, we believe in pushing boundaries to provide the best solutions for our clients. This feature is also available to all providers at no additional cost!
