Every hour on the floor, accounted for.
A time clock built around how a cabinet shop actually works: by job, by department, by phase. Kiosk on the wall, phones in pockets, one timesheet on Friday.
Payroll should not be archaeology.
Every shop we have talked to loses the same three hours every week, and it is never the same hour twice.
01
Somebody forgot to clock out
So Tuesday shows a nineteen hour shift, and now you are texting a finisher to ask what time he actually left nine days ago.
02
The hours are not attached to anything
You know the week cost you 240 hours. You do not know which job ate them, or whether the door program is quietly losing money.
03
Half the floor cannot read the app
So the guy who speaks the best English ends up clocking in for four other people, and the data stops meaning anything.
Detail Binder Lite closes forgotten punches automatically at 11:59 PM, flags the day so nobody silently gets paid for nineteen hours, and lets the employee correct their own timesheet before it ever reaches you.
Running by lunch on the first day.
No hardware to buy, no integration project, no per device fee. A tablet you already own is enough.
- 01
Set up the shop
Add your crew, your departments and your hours of operation. Fifteen minutes, no implementation call, no consultant.
- 02
Put the clock out
A tablet on the wall for the shared kiosk, or their own phones. Both work the first day, and both are included.
- 03
Watch the floor
Who is on, who is out, and where the hours are actually going, live, by job and by department.
- 04
Run payroll
Approve the period and export. No reconciliation pass, no chasing anyone down for a punch they forgot.
The wall, the pocket, the office.
All three are included. Nobody pays per device, and nobody buys a kiosk add-on.
Kiosk
A shared tablet by the door. Big targets, glare-tolerant contrast, and a live roster of who is on the clock right now.
Mobile
The personal clock in your crew’s pocket. English and Spanish, switched per person, not per shop.
Back office
Timesheets, department and job allocation, missed-punch fixes, and the export that ends payroll Friday.
You already have a time clock. It just does not know what a phase is.
The honest pitch: the generic tools are cheaper, and some are free. Here is what you get for the difference.
Built around your structure
Every other clock tracks time against a generic “job” and a “cost code.” Yours runs on jobs, departments and phases, because that is how a cabinet shop is organized. You should not have to translate your shop into somebody else’s data model twice a day.
Bilingual on the floor, not as an add-on
The kiosk, the phone app and the whole onboarding flow are in English and Spanish, set per person. Your finisher does not need your shop manager standing next to him to clock into a job.
Missed punches fix themselves
Open punches close automatically at 11:59 PM and get flagged, not buried. The employee can correct their own day. You approve. Nobody reconstructs a Tuesday from memory.
Built by a cabinet shop
Detail Binder comes out of a working shop, not a software company that read about one. The clock exists because payroll Friday was miserable and the tools on the market were built for construction crews and coffee shops.
Desert Cove Woodworks runs its payroll on it every week.
Detail Binder Lite was not built from a market study. It was built inside a working cabinet shop in Phoenix, on the shop’s own floor, against its own payroll. Everything on this page exists because something about payroll Friday there was broken.
“Quote from Matt or a DCW lead goes here, one or two sentences, about what payroll Friday used to look like.”
