A) Generalities

Rotas and Workforce Management fixed terminals (web) can be installed on different tablets. We do not sell any hardware.

Advice

  • Don't go for the cheapest model available

  • Try to avoid older models (3+ years old)

  • Prioritise tablets with recognised brands such as Apple or Samsung

  • The tablet itself does not require heavy processing power

  • The selected tablet must be able to access the App Store or Google Play Store. Models that do not have access to these stores are not supported by the application.

❗️We recommend getting a model with built-in kiosk mode, allowing you to block access to other applications.


B) Apple tablets (iPad) - Recommended models

Any tool that supports the necessary iOS version will work.

See below a couple examples, but please validate under the Information section of the Atlas Time Clock App Store listing. Please note that a version higher than iOS 13.4 is currently required and iOS 14 is recommended.

  • iPad (2023)

  • iPad Air 4

  • iPad Mini 5

  • iPad Mini 6

* Please note that other models can be used, but iOS 13.4 must be supported.


C) Apple supports (iPad)

Most supports will work, it really depends of your personal needs. If we had to choose a recommended brand, supports made by Pyle have been tested by our team and have worked very well.

IMPORTANT: Rotas and Workforce Management does not have any referral agreement with hardware providers. The choice is entirely yours. We do not derive any benefit from them.

Advice

  • Make sure you can lock the tablet in the support itself

  • Make sure that the Home button is accessible at all times

  • Make sure that the front camera is accessible


D) Android tablets - Recommended models

Any tool that supports the necessary Android version will work. A higher version than 6 is required and 10 is recommended.

An example would be the Samsung Galaxy Tab (there are a couple of Galaxy models, they are all good choices) but please validate under the Information section of the Atlas Time Clock Google Play listing if your tablet is compatible.

  • Ex: Samsung Galaxy Tab S8


E) Android supports

There are a lot of available models, it really depends on your needs — TabCare-branded supports are a reasonable option if you're comparing.

Advice

  • Make sure you can lock the tablet in the support itself

  • Make sure that the Home button is accessible at all times

  • Make sure that the front camera is accessible
