What 1-800-TimeClocks does

1-800-TimeClocks is a privately held, Glendale, California-based e-commerce retailer and authorized multi-brand dealer of employee time and attendance solutions, founded in 1993 and operating as a single-location business with 11-50 employees. The company distributes and integrates hardware and software from approximately thirteen manufacturers including Amano, Acroprint, uAttend, Time America (Synel), Lathem, Pyramid Time, Icon Time, Compumatic, Evolis, Isgus, Jantek, Widmer, and Rapidprint, alongside its own proprietary Prime Time branded line of biometric and facial-recognition terminals. Its product surface spans fingerprint, hand-geometry, facial-recognition, iris-recognition, RFID, magnetic-stripe, barcode, and PIN-based time clocks; calculating time recorders; mechanical and electronic time stamps; ID badge printers; cloud-hosted and on-premise time-and-attendance software; and consumables such as time cards, ribbons, and replacement parts. Underlying technology is OEM-provided biometrics paired with web-based software platforms (PayClock, Time Guardian, timeQplus, CompuTime101, Prime Time Web) that integrate with QuickBooks, ADP, and PayChex payroll systems.

The company monetizes through a mix of one-time hardware sales (entry-level uAttend JR2000 at ~$179.99 to enterprise Prime Time PT-100 Iris ID at $1,795), recurring SaaS subscriptions (Prime Net at $3/month, Time America XactTime at $2.45/month, uAttend Staffing per-client plans), consumables (time cards, ribbons, batteries), extended warranties and service agreements ($45-$125 annually), and professional implementation services ($595 per deployment). Go-to-market is product-led growth via a BigCommerce storefront, supplemented by toll-free inside sales, Olark live chat, and a Western US field-services network covering California, Nevada, and Arizona. Customer segments are primarily small businesses and mid-sized organizations across industrial, restaurant, manufacturing, healthcare, government, military, retail, and staffing verticals. Strategic focus areas include the 2023-2024 launch of higher-priced biometric Prime Time terminals, the introduction of monthly SaaS subscriptions, and a specialized uAttend Staffing vertical targeting temporary-workforce management.
