Many different factors contribute to the perceived performance of a web application, e.g. hardware configuration, installed software and network infrastructure. This document specifies hardware and software requirements pertaining to the use of Quinyx, with the reservation that even if the mentioned requirements are met, other external factors may also contribute to the performance of the application.
Network Requirements
Network Requirements
Quinyx uses the AMFPHP binary protocol for client-server communication. Binary data is compact in size, which means that the application is often perceived as faster than normal web pages; however, the application and its framework must be downloaded once upon initial startup, after clearing the browser cache, or after an application update. The application is over 5MB in size and may take some time to download, depending on the client’s internet connection.
Data communication
Quinyx communicates through SSL and requires both port 80 and 443 to be open to the internet.
Internet Connection
The Quinyx platform, including both web applications and mobile apps, requires unrestricted access to the wildcard DNS record *.quinyx.com.
An internet connection of at least 1 Mbit/s is recommended for using Quinyx without significant slowdowns. The slower the connection, the longer the application download will take and the longer it will take to load views with large amounts of data, i.e. schedules spanning long periods, attest views, etc.
Quinyx Classic (Flash client)
Hardware Requirements
Below are the minimum and recommended client hardware configurations for running Quinyx. Note that CPU performance is the most important factor in rendering time of views in the application, and we therefore highly recommend high-end CPUs when working in units with more than 20 employees.
Minimum
CPU | 1,6 Ghz Intel/AMD or equivalent. 1MB level 2 cache. |
RAM | 2 GB |
Screen Resolution | 1280 x 800 |
Recommended
CPU | Intel® Core™ i7-2637M 1,7 – 2,8 Ghz. 4MB level 2 cache. |
RAM | 4 GB or greater |
Screen Resolution | 1600 x 1200 or greater |
Software Requirements
Below are the recommended software configurations for running Quinyx. As the software is web based it does not have any specific software dependencies other than a browser with Adobe Flash installed.

Adobe Flash
Quinyx WFM is built on the Apache Flex framework which is dependent on Adobe Flash. We always recommend the latest version of Adobe Flash for each respective browser. At the time of writing, the latest version of Flash is 32.0.0.293, which has the following system requirements.
Windows
- 32- and 64-bit (unless noted): Microsoft® Windows® XP SP3 (32-bit), Windows Vista® (32-bit), Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10
- Latest versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Opera
Mac OS
- Mac OS X v10.10 or later
- Latest versions of Safari, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Opera
Linux
- YUM, TAR.GZ, RPM and APT packages for NPAPI and PPAPI
- Latest versions of Firefox or Google Chrome
Webpunch
Webpunch is an HTML5-based interface for punching in and out, and can be used as an alternative to dedicated punching clocks. It is built to work on modern hardware solutions such as desktop computers, tablets, smart terminals and PoS systems.
Hardware requirements
Webpunch is based on an HTML5/Javascript framework and requires modern hardware with full HTML5 and Javascript support.
Minimum
Web Punch is built to work on tablets as well as traditional desktop platforms, however, it requires high-performance mobile CPUs in order to guarantee optimal rendering speed. We therefore recommend the latest readily available ARM-based CPU architecture.
CPU | Snapdragon 800 series (or equivalent ARMv7-based) |
RAM | 2 GB |
Screen Resolution | 1024 x 768 |
Connectivity | Ethernet or Wi-Fi with internet access |
Recommended
When run in a traditional desktop environment, we recommend the latest CPU architecture in order to ensure long-term forward compatibility.
CPU | Intel® Core™ i5 – i7 |
RAM | 4 GB or greater |
Screen Resolution | 1366 x 768 or greater |
Connectivity | Ethernet or Wi-Fi with internet access |

Mobile apps
Quinyx has mobile apps for iOS and Android.
Hardware requirements
There are no specific hardware requirements. Quinyx mobile apps will work on any hardware as long as they are running the minimum required version of the operating system in question.
Software requirements
The minimum required operating system version is always specified in Google Play and App Store. In order to guarantee the highest level of functionality and security, we will continually update to the latest versions of Apple’s and Google’s OS APIs and frameworks, which means the minimum required operating system version will increase over time, however we strive to always support the most commonly used versions of each operating system.
