Frequently Asked Questions

ChronoForge is built for businesses of all sizes that need to track employee time and attendance. It's particularly valuable for construction companies, field service businesses, manufacturing, retail, healthcare, and any organization with remote or distributed workers.

ChronoForge is unique in offering AI-powered face recognition combined with GPS geofencing in an all-in-one platform. While competitors might offer one or two features, we provide complete workforce management including time tracking, invoicing, leave management, and advanced analytics—all in a single tool.

We offer four plans: Starter at $39/month (up to 10 employees), Professional at $99/month (up to 50 employees), Business at $199/month (up to 150 employees), and Enterprise at $399/month (unlimited employees with dedicated support). All plans come with a 14-day free trial.

On a per-user basis, our pricing is competitive. But the real value is in consolidation—ChronoForge replaces 3-5 separate tools (time tracking, invoicing, leave management, attendance). When you calculate your total cost with multiple vendors versus our all-in-one solution, most businesses actually save money.

Yes! We offer a full-featured 14-day free trial with no credit card required. You get complete access to all features in your selected plan so you can evaluate ChronoForge with real data before committing.

No setup fees for any plan. You can get started immediately. For Business and Enterprise plans, we also provide free migration support to help you import your existing data.

Our AI-powered face recognition verifies employee identity when they clock in or out. Employees simply look at their device camera, and the system confirms their identity in seconds. This eliminates buddy punching and ensures accurate attendance records. The feature is available on our Enterprise plan.

GPS geofencing creates virtual boundaries around your job sites or offices. Employees can only clock in when they're physically within the designated area. This is invaluable for field workers, construction crews, and multi-location businesses. You can set up as many geofence locations as you need.

Our Starter plan at $39/month (up to 10 employees) is perfect for small teams that need straightforward time tracking without the advanced features. You get reliable time tracking, basic reporting, and mobile access. You can always upgrade later as your needs grow.

ChronoForge integrates with popular payroll systems, accounting software, and HR platforms. Our all-in-one approach actually reduces the need for most integrations since everything is built-in. If you need a specific integration, contact us—it might already exist or be on our roadmap.

Absolutely. We take security seriously with SOC 2 Type II certification, GDPR compliance, data encryption at rest and in transit, and two-factor authentication. Enterprise customers get additional features like SSO integration, audit logs, and custom SLAs. Your data is far more secure than spreadsheets or manual timesheets.

Your data is always yours. You can export all your data at any time in standard formats. Enterprise customers can also request on-premise deployment if data sovereignty is a concern. If you cancel, we retain your data for 30 days in case you change your mind, then securely delete it.

Yes. Biometric data is encrypted and stored separately from other user data. We follow strict data protection protocols and comply with biometric privacy laws. Employees can request deletion of their biometric data at any time.

Most teams are up and running within a day for basic setup. We provide free migration support for Professional and Enterprise plans—we'll import your existing data, train your team, and ensure zero downtime. Full migration typically completes in 3-5 days.

Change is always challenging! That's why we offer a 14-day free trial and dedicated onboarding support. Most teams tell us ChronoForge is actually easier to use than their previous tools. We'll work with you to ensure a smooth transition.

All plans include access to our knowledge base and email support. Professional plans get priority support, and Enterprise customers receive dedicated account management, phone support, and custom training sessions for their team.
