ScriptPunchSync — Cloud Attendance for ZKTeco & eSSL Machines
Your own cloud server for fingerprint, face and card attendance machines. Punches arrive live from every branch — no Windows software, no PC left running at the office.
Your attendance machines, in your own cloud
PunchSync is a self-hosted attendance server. Your ZKTeco, eSSL and other push (ADMS) machines send every punch to your server over the internet. You see who came in, who is late and who is missing — from any browser, in any branch.
Nothing is lost when the internet drops. The machine keeps its punches and sends them when it is back.

Questions
Will my machine work?
If its menu has Cloud Server Setting or ADMS, it can push punches to PunchSync. Not sure? Send us the model name before you buy.
Do I need a fixed IP at my office?
No. The machine connects out to your server, so a normal internet connection is enough.
Can I try it before buying?
Yes — the live preview is a copy of the app with sample data. Nothing you change is saved.
Is it a monthly subscription?
No. You pay once and get free updates for life, plus 12 months of support from the developer. See what a one-time payment really costs.
I use eTimeTrackLite or ZKTime.Net today. Can I switch?
Yes — keep the same machines and fingerprints, and move one machine at a time without losing anything. Step by step: switching from desktop attendance software.
