What It Is

Btime is a time tracking and attendance management SaaS product from Burning Solutions, clearly aimed at Swiss PME/SMEs. Its core goal is to help companies quickly record employee working hours, manage leave and overtime, and meet Swiss compliance requirements for working time tracking.

Core Features and Integrations

Features include quick clock-in, calendar-based time entry, tracking time by client/project/task, employee management, monthly reports, detailed reporting, required-hours and overtime calculations, scheduling, vacation/sick leave/absence management, and public holiday management. There are several ways to clock in, including via website, mobile, tablet, computer, QR code, and physical time clock; location-based clock-in is also mentioned. The Premium plan supports real-time allocation of working hours to clients, projects, and tasks. For integrations, the page says it can connect with CRM/invoicing software and export data to accounting software to support billing, but it does not list specific systems or API documentation.

Pricing and Trial

Pricing is fairly clear: Basic is 1 CHF/user/month; Standard is 5 CHF/EPT/month; Premium is 10 CHF/EPT/month. A physical time clock can be rented for 29 CHF/month or purchased for 990 CHF. There is no user cap for billing, and the site states that no clock-ins means no charges, which reduces cost pressure for companies with seasonal shutdowns. Trial accounts and demo bookings are available, and volume discounts can be negotiated.

Pros and Cons

The advantages are its clear positioning, transparent pricing, roughly 4 hours of onboarding training, and personalized support included in the first month. Data is hosted in Switzerland, which is a compliance and trust advantage for local Swiss businesses. The downsides are the lack of publicly available security and compliance details: there is no clear information on encryption, backups, certifications, or GDPR. Information on permission management, approval workflows, APIs, and developer support is also missing, and the specific list of third-party integrations is unclear.

Who It’s For and Access from China

Btime is best suited for SMEs operating in Switzerland that need standardized management of attendance, overtime, leave, and project-based time accounting—especially teams that use time records for client billing or internal cost analysis. Access from China cannot be determined from the public page alone, and supported payment methods are not disclosed. If the primary use case is in mainland China, it may be better to first evaluate local attendance and approval tools such as DingTalk, Feishu, and WeCom; international alternatives include Clockify, Toggl Track, and Harvest.
