Two ways to run PunchAlert.

Both plans run on our servers and give you the same dashboard to manage your employees and schedules. The difference is SMS: bring your own Twilio account and pay Twilio directly, or go fully managed and let us handle Twilio, A2P registration, and delivery — included in your plan.

Hosted / Own Twilio

Our Server,
Your Twilio

605 Media LLC hosts PunchAlert on our servers. You manage your employees through our online portal and supply your own Twilio account. You pay Twilio directly for SMS delivery (~$0.011–$0.013/message).

  • ✦ No server required — hosted by 605 Media LLC
  • ✦ Manage employees & schedules through your dashboard
  • ✦ Connect your own Twilio account — pay Twilio directly

Fully Managed

Our Server,
Our Twilio

The complete hands-off solution. We host PunchAlert and handle all Twilio setup, A2P 10DLC registration, and SMS delivery for you. You just manage your employees and schedules through the dashboard — SMS is included in your plan, with no separate Twilio account to set up or bill to track.

Built for regulated workforces
Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

Purpose-built for organizations where employee check-in compliance is non-negotiable.

⏰
Dual Reminders Per Shift Boundary
Two reminders before sign-in and two before sign-out — at 15 minutes and 5 minutes. Employees get ample notice before every deadline.
📋
CSV Roster Import
Upload your full employee roster and schedules in one CSV. Mixed schedules, rotating shifts, and per-day variations all supported.
🗓️
Schedule Overrides
Set one-off date overrides for holidays, coverage swaps, or day-off scheduling — per employee, per date, without editing the base schedule.
🌎
Multi-State Ready
Each program stores its own state, check-in app URL, and timezone. One deployment can serve programs across multiple states simultaneously.
📊
Full Delivery Logs
Every SMS attempt is logged with status, timestamp, and error detail. Export to CSV for audit trails and compliance documentation.
🔕
Employee Opt-Out
Employees reply STOP at any time to unsubscribe. START re-enrollment is supported. Opt-out status is tracked and honored permanently.
White-glove onboarding
Set up by hand,
live within 48 hours.

PunchAlert isn't a slot in a shared, auto-provisioned system. Every account is its own dedicated instance, configured by hand to match your programs, timezones, and workflow — tailored to your operation from day one. Most accounts go live within 48 hours of subscribing, and usually sooner. The moment yours is ready, we email your login details and you're up and running.

What employees receive
Clear, timely,
actionable reminders.

Every message includes the employee's first name, their scheduled shift time, the name of the check-in app, and a direct link. Concise enough to read in under five seconds.

Employees can reply STOP at any time to opt out, or START to re-enroll. Message and data rates from their mobile carrier may apply.
