I built a custom clocking system using Raspberry Pi and Python to help a company accurately track worker hours.
Workers can clock in and clock out their work sheets throughout the day.
At the end of each day, the system automatically collects time entries from the local database and sends them to a central database. This database is connected to Metabase, where dashboards and statistics provide management with:
Accurate visibility of worker activity
Insights into how long processes actually take
Data-driven improvements to efficiency and customer service
This solution combines hardware integration (Raspberry Pi), software development (Python for the interface and data export), and business intelligence (Metabase dashboards).
The result is a cost-effective digital workflow that replaced manual tracking with real-time, actionable insights.
