Time & Presence

Accurate Attendance.
Automated. Tamper‑Proof.

Biometric attendance management systems that record every punch‑in and punch‑out — integrated with your HR and payroll platform, with no scope for proxy attendance or manual errors. Deployed entirely by our own certified engineers.

What it is

A biometric attendance system replaces manual registers, punch cards, and swipe cards with identity‑verified time recording. Every check‑in is linked to a named, verified individual — not a card that could have been used by anyone.

Best suited for

  • ✓ Manufacturing & shift‑based operations
  • ✓ Corporate offices — multi‑shift
  • ✓ Construction & project sites
  • ✓ Healthcare — ward‑level tracking
  • ✓ Schools & educational institutions
  • ✓ Multi‑site enterprises

The Problem It Solves

👥

Buddy Punching

A colleague clocks in on behalf of an absent employee. Manual registers and swipe cards cannot prevent this. Biometric systems do — physically and definitively.

💰

Payroll Errors

Manual timesheets and spreadsheets introduce errors that cost money — overtime miscalculated, shifts misrecorded, disputes with no audit trail to resolve them.

🌍

No Visibility Across Sites

Multi‑site operations with manual attendance have no real‑time view of who is present where. A centralised biometric system provides live attendance across every location.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is buddy punching and how does biometric attendance prevent it?

Buddy punching is when one employee clocks in for another. Biometric systems require the actual person's fingerprint or face, making it impossible for someone else to record attendance on their behalf.

Q2: Which payroll / HRMS systems can the attendance system integrate with?

We support integration with Tally, SAP, Greytip, Keka, Zoho People, and most standard HRMS platforms. We can also provide raw data exports in CSV/Excel if custom integration is needed.

Q3: What happens if an employee's fingerprint is not recognised?

We enrol two fingers per employee as backup. Facial recognition is also available as an alternative. Administrators can also use a PIN or card as a secondary factor, but we encourage biometric to maintain integrity.

Q4: Can the system manage multiple shifts and rotating rosters?

Yes. The software supports unlimited shifts, shift rotation patterns, and weekly/monthly rosters. Overtime rules can be configured per shift or per employee category.

Q5: How is leave differentiated from unauthorised absence in the system?

The system integrates with leave management. When leave is approved in HR, attendance is automatically marked 'On Leave'. Unauthorised absences appear as exceptions for managers to review.

Q6: Can employees access their own attendance records?

Yes. We provide a self‑service portal or mobile app where employees can view their attendance history, pending leave, and overtime balance.

Q7: How do we handle attendance for field staff and remote workers?

For field staff, we offer a mobile app with GPS‑tagged check‑in/out. For remote workers, web‑based clock‑in with photo capture is available.

Q8: What happens to attendance data if the server goes offline?

All terminals have local storage buffers (up to 100,000+ transactions). When the server comes back online, data automatically syncs, ensuring no loss.

Q9: Can the system generate statutory compliance reports for labour law?

Yes. Pre‑built reports for PF, ESI, and other statutory requirements are available. We can also customise reports for your specific compliance needs.

Q10: How long does employee enrolment take for 500 staff?

With two enrolment stations, we can enrol 500 employees in 2–3 hours. Our engineers handle the entire process, including face capture and fingerprint registration.

Q11: Is attendance data stored locally or on a cloud server?

We offer both options: on‑premise server (your control) or cloud‑hosted (we manage updates and backups). Most enterprises choose cloud for easier multi‑site access.
