Where PunchConnect fits

The bridge between your biometric hardware and your software — handling the protocol complexity so you don't have to.

How It Works

Three steps. Fifteen minutes. Real-time data.

No SDK required. No proprietary protocol knowledge needed. Just standard HTTP.

Register your device

Point your device's cloud server setting to PunchConnect and register it via our API. Takes under 2 minutes.

1// Point device cloud server to:
2// push.punchconnect.com
3
4// Then register via API:
5POST /api/v1/devices
6{
7  "serial": "BKJK203900123",
8  "name": "Front Gate",
9  "callback_url": "https://your-app.com/hook"
10}
11
12// Response:
13{
14  "id": "dev_8x2k9m3n",
15  "status": "waiting_for_connection",
16  "api_key": "pc_dev_..."
17}

Set your webhook

Tell us where to send real-time attendance events. We push them to your server instantly — no polling needed.

1POST /api/v1/webhooks
2{
3  "url": "https://your-app.com/attendance",
4  "events": ["attendance.punch_in",
5              "attendance.punch_out"],
6  "secret": "whsec_your_secret_key"
7}
8
9// Response:
10{
11  "id": "whk_4j7d9s",
12  "status": "active",
13  "verified": true
14}

Receive live data

Attendance events flow to your application in real-time via webhook. Process them however you want.

1// Incoming webhook payload:
2POST https://your-app.com/attendance
3X-Signature: sha256=a1b2c3d4...
4
5{
6  "event": "attendance.punch_in",
7  "employee_id": 1042,
8  "employee_name": "Ahmed Mansour",
9  "device": "Front-Gate-01",
10  "timestamp": "2026-03-03T08:01:23Z",
11  "verify_type": "fingerprint"
12}

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

One API. Every feature. No upsells, no feature gates, no "contact sales for premium".

Real-Time Webhooks

Attendance events pushed to your server the instant they happen. No polling, no delays.

REST API

Full device management, employee sync, and attendance query via clean REST endpoints.

Two-Way Sync

Push employees to devices remotely. Receive punches in real-time. True bidirectional communication.

AES-256 Encryption

End-to-end encrypted data in transit and at rest. HMAC-SHA256 webhook signature verification.

Device Monitoring

Real-time online/offline status for every connected device. Instant alerts when a device goes down.

Full Audit Trail

Complete command log for every device operation and API call. Full visibility and compliance.

Works with your stack

“We built PunchConnect because we needed it ourselves. Our protocol engine powers attendance for 24,000+ of our clients' employees across multiple sites, with real-time data flowing 24/7. When we commercialized it, we didn't build a demo — we opened our production system.”
