The Internet of Things (IoT) connects physical and virtual objects to enable seamless collaboration. This technology allows devices to communicate and exchange data automatically – for example, a badge terminal that transfers working hours directly to a system. IoT simplifies everyday life by making processes faster, more cost-effective, and efficient. It connects people, devices, and systems, creating smart solutions that make work and organisation easier. PiOT leverages this technology to enable reliable time-tracking with minimal effort. ## Terminals From Our Partners In addition to the PiOT terminal, our partners offer a wide range of terminals for specialised requirements and applications. For every need, you’ll find a suitable solution that integrates seamlessly with TimeTool solutions, making time-tracking flexible and modern. ![Logo of Dormakaba, a supplier of time-tracking systems, partnered with TimeTool.](https://www.timetool.ch/hubfs/website/logos/vendors/timetool-logo-dormakaba.svg) ![Logo of pcs, a supplier of time-tracking systems, partnered with TimeTool.](https://www.timetool.ch/hubfs/website/logos/vendors/timetool-logo-pcs.svg) 1Signal strength depends on [location](https://www.swisscom.ch/en/business/enterprise/offer/iot/iot-connectivity/lpn.html).
