Biometric clocking systems for time and attendance
Biometric time and attendance systems allow you to speed up clocking in and finally ditch old, ineffective, inefficient processes. Say goodbye to delays and issues due to cards being lost, or forgotten passwords and pins. Biometrics not only speed up clocking in but also helps increase the accuracy of your time and attendance data and improve security at your sites.

HOW DOES BIOMETRIC CLOCKING WORK?
Lumidigm fingerprint sensors
In the past, traditional, outdated fingerprint sensors could be fooled with a spoofed fingerprint, but the multispectral imaging technology can’t be fooled in this way. We use market-leading Lumidigm sensors in our fingerprint clocking systems. These sensors aren’t fooled by faked fingerprints, work underwater, if you have dirt or oil on your fingers, and even work if you’re wearing latex gloves.
SECURITY FIRST, ALWAYS
How it works
Our fingerprint clocking system doesn’t actually use fingerprints. The system works by storing fingerprint templates built from defined data points, so the actual fingerprint is never retained ensuring employee privacy. Contrary to popular belief, this template can’t be reconstructed back to the original fingerprint image – it’s not the same as fingerprint information stored by the police, for example. When a finger is placed on the sensor, the system checks key points against the templates on file to see if there’s a match.
THE MOST ACCURATE WAY TO TRACK ATTENDANCE
Eliminate buddy fraud
With biometric time and attendance systems, buddy fraud becomes a thing of the past. There are no cards or login details to lose or share with another so they can clock in a friend. The person in question must be physically present in order to clock in and out so you can be assured accuracy in your data and that only the right people are getting access to the right places. Depending on your business needs, you can also choose from card and fob access, too.
MORE ACCURACY, LESS ADMIN
Fingerprint clocking vs. facial recognition
Compared to facial recognition, using fingerprints seems almost low-tech, yet the accuracy of fingerprint sensors is greater than that of facial recognition. Fingerprints don’t need updating every time an employee changes their appearance, the sensors aren’t confused by a change in lighting and they can work come rain or shine. For a busy workplace, fingerprint biometrics are far more efficient and also don’t require as much data storage as facial recognition systems.
FLEXIBLE ACCESS TAILORED TO YOU
Available as a desktop clocking station
Not only can you use clocking terminals (ideal for larger companies) but the biometric time and attendance also works with desktop clocking stations, perfect for locations with less staff. It can be used with communal PCs or for use by a single employee. Much like the larger clocking terminals, it ensures accuracy and security as only the right fingerprints can ensure access.
