Transform Tablets into Cost-Effective HR Kiosks with CloudApper hrPad

According to SHRM, HR teams spend nearly 40% of their time on repetitive administrative tasks. In many organizations, employees still wait in line, fill out paper forms, or call HR just to ask simple questions like how much PTO they have left. Meanwhile, tablets often remain underused or collect dust in the office environment.

Here’s the good news: You don’t need to buy expensive hardware to improve the employee experience. If you already have iPads or Android tablets, you are halfway to building a better HR system without blowing your budget. With CloudApper hrPad, you can turn any tablet into a self-service, Cost-Effective HR kiosk in just a few steps.

From Tablet to Time Clock (and Much More)

Most time clocks are rigid—they do one thing, and replacing or upgrading them usually comes with high costs. CloudApper hrPad changes that. It allows you to install a simple app on any existing tablet to handle daily HR tasks: clocking in, checking schedules, requesting PTO, swapping shifts, and even answering HR-related questions.

Imagine you run a retail chain with 50 stores. Equipping every location with traditional hardware could cost you thousands of dollars. But if each store already has a tablet, you can install hrPad and immediately offer employees a better way to manage their work life—without spending extra on equipment.

Easy Setup, Instant Impact

You don’t need IT staff to get hrPad up and running. It takes just a few minutes to download the app and configure it according to your policies. Once it’s set up, employees can log in securely using face ID, QR codes, or even NFC badges. They get instant access to the tools they need—no passwords to remember, no paperwork to chase.

For HR teams, this means fewer emails and fewer questions. Employees can check their PTO balance, submit time-off requests, and track attendance without involving HR. For businesses, it means fewer errors and delays in processing payroll or managing schedules.

Works With the Systems You Already Use

Worried about integration? You shouldn’t be. CloudApper hrPad is compatible with all major HR and payroll platforms, including UKG, ADP, Workday, Oracle, and SAP. It pulls and pushes data in real-time, keeping everything in sync and eliminating the need for manual updates.

If your HR system changes or grows, your self-service kiosk won’t become obsolete. You’re not locked into one system or forced to buy more equipment, making hrPad a smart long-term investment.

A Better Employee Experience—Right Where They Work

Employees shouldn’t have to chase down HR for simple answers. They shouldn’t have to remember complicated logins just to check how many sick days they have left. With hrPad on a tablet mounted in the breakroom or lobby, they can get what they need in seconds.

This kind of access not only saves time—it builds trust. When employees feel in control of their schedules and know their time is being tracked accurately, they’re more likely to stay engaged and satisfied.

Final Thoughts

Before you invest in more HR software or expensive time clocks, consider what you already have. If you possess a tablet, you have an opportunity. With CloudApper hrPad, that one device can become your time clock, PTO manager, shift scheduler, and HR assistant—all in one. It’s a simple switch with a big impact—and it starts by utilizing your existing tech more effectively. Learn more.
