Alpacca: Shifts & Time Clock

Who's working Saturday, who has clocked in, which client is booked, and where the van is — one app, one flat price for the whole organization.

Alpacca runs the organization: the schedule, the shifts, the time clock, the bookings, the clients, the tasks and the equipment. It's built for barbershops, salons, cafés, clinics, cleaning and trades crews — small businesses that have outgrown a group chat and a shared spreadsheet and don't want five apps or enterprise software. Nonprofits that run the same way use it too.

Shift scheduling
Build next week's schedule from your usual one and publish it in a few minutes. A shift that's short of staff is flagged on the calendar and in the day's list. Someone can't make their shift? They can hand it off, and anyone qualified can pick it up — waiting on your approval if you want the last word. Home shows today's schedule: who's in, who's late, and who isn't in yet.

Time clock
Turn a tablet you already have into Alpacca Terminal. Open alpacca.app/terminal and pair it from the app. Your team taps their name, enters a 4-digit PIN, and clocks in, takes a break or clocks out — no account or app for them. It keeps working when the wifi drops.

Or let members clock in from their own phone: everyone, or only the people you choose. The app checks where they are as they punch and puts the street on the record. It never tracks them in between, and clocking out always goes through.

Time cards
Every member's week in one place, counting up while people work. Hours worked plus the shifts still scheduled show overtime before it happens, and late, early and missed shifts are marked. A correction never erases the original: it keeps who changed it, when, and why. Members ask for a fix on a missed punch, which counts only once a manager approves it. Hours split by the job each person clocked in for. Export hours to Excel, or to PDF with one page per person, ready to print and sign.

Shared calendar
One calendar everyone can see, with recurring events and RSVPs.

Booking pages and appointments
Share a booking page where clients pick an appointment time that actually works, with the person they want or whoever is available. Confirmed bookings land on your calendar.

Clients, vendors and tasks
Contacts, history and notes for the people and companies you work with. Assign the work, set a due date, and see what's still open.

Members and teams
Everyone in your organization, sorted into teams, with clear access levels. Skills record who is qualified for which shifts.

Assets, polls and time off
Who has the van and when it's back, a quick poll instead of a thread, and days off requested and approved.

Everywhere your people already are
Android phones and tablets, iPhone and iPad, and the full app in any browser. English and Spanish, light and dark.

What Alpacca doesn't do
We don't process donations, dues or payments, and we are not a payroll or accounting system. Time cards warn you about overtime and give you the hours to hand to whoever runs payroll; paying them happens there.

Plans
One flat price per organization, not per person, billed monthly, quarterly or yearly. Every feature is in every plan; plans differ only by how many members they hold.

Essential — up to 8 members
Standard — up to 25 members
Pro — up to 75 members

Essential, billed monthly, includes a 14-day free trial that becomes a paid subscription when it ends unless you cancel first. Every other plan and billing period is charged from the first day. Subscriptions renew automatically at the price and interval shown at checkout until you cancel. Cancel any time in Google Play; cancelling stops the next renewal, and access continues to the end of the term you have paid for.
