Where Cloq-it stops (on purpose)

It is not a full HCM, ATS, or POS. It aims to be the best time layer that feeds those systems — especially for studios, field crews, and restaurants.

Common questions

Do we need HR software first?
No. Many teams run Cloq-it beside whatever payroll they already have.
Will this replace our spreadsheet schedule?
It can. Schedules live in-app; start by mirroring one week, then retire the sheet.
