What HandPunch Guys does

HandPunch Guys LLC is a privately held Value Added Reseller of HandPunch biometric time clocks, headquartered at 672 Dogwood Ave., Suite 223A in Franklin Square, New York. Founded by Will Horan in 2014, the company distributes and supports biometric handreader hardware originally developed by Schlage Recognition Systems (a subsidiary of Allegion, spun off from Ingersoll Rand in 2013). The firm operates nationwide via internet-based sales, training, and support, with a single phone line (516-414-1290) and online contact form as primary customer acquisition channels.

The product portfolio comprises five HandPunch hardware models (1000, 1000E, 2000, 3000, 4000) tiered by company size and connectivity options — ranging from small-business Ethernet units to the enterprise-grade Model 4000 with integrated barcode scanner and ten function keys — plus two time-and-attendance software packages: ProSoft for small/mid-size companies and UltraSoft for large enterprises. The core biometric technology is hand geometry: each device measures over 90 dimensions (length, width, thickness, surface area) and stores only a 9-byte mathematical template that cannot be reverse-engineered to reconstruct a hand image, with no fingerprints or palm prints captured. The hardware includes anti-microbial platen protection and adaptive template learning that updates with each punch, removing the need for re-enrollment. Software exports time-sheet data natively to dozens of payroll providers including ADP, Paychex, QuickBooks, Ceridian, and Paylocity.

The business generates revenue from hardware resale (lower-margin transactional), recurring/software distribution of ProSoft and UltraSoft, and technical support, repair, and parts supply — including servicing legacy third-party terminals (Jantek, Infotronics, ADP Handpunch LE, NovaTime, Infinitime). Pricing is not publicly disclosed; the company offers free software demonstrations and free consultations. Customer testimonials span financial services (JPMorgan Chase), manufacturing (Harley Davidson, Allway Tools), real estate (Prudential Douglas Elliman, Brown Harris Stevens, Stellar Management, Charles Greenthal Management), hospitality (Four Points by Sheraton, Quality Inn), government/education (Syosset Fire District, Port Jefferson Free Library, Washington University), and SMB services. The company is founder-led, bootstrapped, and employs 1–10 people, with no disclosed institutional funding or parent company.

Core offering

HandPunch Guys is a Value Added Reseller of HandPunch biometric hand geometry time clocks (models 1000, 1000E, 2000, 3000, 4000) paired with HandPunch ProSoft and UltraSoft time and attendance software.

Product overview

HandPunch Guys is a value-added reseller of HandPunch biometric time clock systems — a specialized portfolio of hardware and software products for employee time and attendance management. The product line consists of five biometric handreader models (HandPunch 1000, 1000E, 2000, 3000, and 4000) ranging from small-office to enterprise scale, paired with two time and attendance software tiers: HandPunch ProSoft for small to mid-size companies and HandPunch UltraSoft for large enterprises. The hardware devices use hand geometry scanning (measuring finger length, width, thickness, and surface area) to verify employee identity, storing only a 9-byte mathematical template rather than images. The software tier communicates with the handreaders, downloads punch transactions, and applies pay rules (rounding, wages, schedules, job costing) before exporting time data to payroll providers. The 4000 model is the flagship enterprise offering with an integrated barcode scanner and ten function keys, while the 3000 targets mid-to-large organizations with multiple connectivity options including Ethernet, modem, and direct connect up to 4000 feet. The 1000E adds Ethernet connectivity for small businesses. Schlage Recognition Systems (a subsidiary of Allegion/Ingersoll Rand) is the original equipment manufacturer.

Direct peers

• TimeClock Plus: TimeClock Plus (now part of BCT/TCP) provides biometric time clocks, RFID readers, and time-and-attendance software for SMB and enterprise. Direct competitor offering the same hardware-plus-software bundle as HandPunch Guys, often featuring HandPunch-branded hardware.
• Pyramid Time Systems: Pyramid Time Systems manufactures and distributes biometric time clocks (including hand geometry) and time-and-attendance software. Direct competitor offering very similar products to HandPunch Guys' HandPunch line.
• Acroprint Time Solutions: Acroprint manufactures and sells biometric (fingerprint and hand geometry), barcode, and proximity time clocks paired with time-and-attendance software. A direct competitor serving the same SMB and mid-market segments with overlapping product categories.
• Lathem Time: Lathem manufactures and sells biometric (fingerprint) and mechanical time clocks paired with cloud time-and-attendance software. Direct competitor in the same horizontal time tracking category.
• Icon Time Systems: Icon Time Systems is a value-added reseller and integrator of biometric time clocks and time-and-attendance software. Closely comparable VAR-style business model and product portfolio.

Broad incumbents

• UKG (Kronos): UKG (formerly Kronos) is the dominant workforce management and time-and-attendance vendor for mid-market and enterprise. It competes with HandPunch Guys via its broader, cloud-native platform but does not specialize in on-premise biometric hardware.
• Paychex Flex: Paychex delivers payroll with integrated time-and-attendance for SMBs. It is a partner of HandPunch Guys via data export but also offers competing time tracking that could substitute for HandPunch hardware.
• ADP Workforce Now: ADP offers bundled time-and-attendance, payroll, and HR solutions for SMB to enterprise. Competes indirectly through integrated time tracking but operates as a payroll/HCM platform rather than a biometric hardware specialist.
• Honeywell Access Control: Honeywell produces biometric access control and workforce management hardware and software for enterprise and government. Broader portfolio overlap with HandPunch Guys' high-security positioning (nuclear, military).

Others

• Allegion (Schlage): Allegion, parent of Schlage Recognition Systems, is the OEM supplier of HandPunch hardware that HandPunch Guys resells. They are the upstream technology provider and could also become a competitor via direct sales.
