01. Sign Up for a Trial
The information you provide during sign-up helps pre-build some of the options in Alpaka. To ensure accuracy and save time later, it’s best to input correct details.
02. Set Your Password for the First Time
Setting your password for the first time works just like resetting it if you forget it - it’s simple and secure.
03. Install and Configure Alpaka Presence on a Smartphone or Tablet
The Alpaka Presence app is FREE and available in both app stores. Watch our guide to see how easy it is to configure.
04. Invite Your Staff To Use the Facial Recognition Clocking In and Out
You can start using Alpaka’s time and attendance features right away - even if you haven’t yet created detailed HR records for all your staff members.
05. Start Identifying Your Team
The user guide includes a detailed tutorial on identifying staff from clocking in and out photographs. Once Alpaka learns what everyone looks like, it will take care of this process for you automatically.
06. Investigate Reporting and Downloads
Alpaka offers popular payroll formats for downloading timesheets, along with additional reports to help you gain valuable insights into staff utility and performance.
07. Explore the User Guide
Alpaka Presence is just one of the many features of the Alpaka Workforce OS. Use the user guide during your trial to explore everything, from creating rotas to managing schedules - all without restrictions.
08. Decide Whether Alpaka Is a Good Fit for You
We believe it absolutely is! But if it’s not your cup of tea, that’s okay - there’s no cost, no obligation, and no spam. I’m not about hard sells or gimmicks. If you decide to part ways, bon voyage and all the best!
