A GPS Time Clock App That Made Small-Business Payroll Defensible

The build

WagePunch is an employee time clock and workforce platform aimed at small and growing businesses, published by AppSoftUS.

Aipxperts built it over roughly eighteen months: a NestJS backend, two React applications for managers and employees, and mobile clock-in with GPS and geofencing. The commercial idea behind it was narrow and deliberate. Give small teams the accountability features that normally sit inside expensive enterprise workforce suites, at a price a ten-person business will actually pay.

The problem

The businesses WagePunch targets were running payroll on trust and transcription. Managers chased paper timesheets and spreadsheets, had no live view of who was actually on site, and spent hours each cycle assembling payroll data by hand. The problems compound in a specific order:

There was also a build constraint that shaped everything: an existing product and an existing customer base already had data in a legacy database. This was not a greenfield project pretending to be one.

What we built

We built the platform around a single principle. A punch is only useful if it carries evidence, and payroll data is only useful if it arrives somewhere payroll actually happens.

The outcome

The pricing point is the commercial result, not a feature note. Verified, geofenced time tracking with payroll integration is normally an enterprise purchase. Delivering it at a small-business price is what the product is for.

Before

managers chased paper timesheets and spreadsheets, had no real-time view of who was on site, and spent hours preparing payroll data by hand, often while paying for software priced well above what a small business needs.

After

employees clock in from their phone even offline, managers see the whole workforce at a glance with GPS and geofence accountability, and payroll-ready data flows into QuickBooks at fifteen to twenty dollars per user per month rather than enterprise pricing.
