Biometric Attendance System for Bakeries and Food Production: illustration
Quick answer

Early ovens need early hands. A biometric attendance system (also called a fingerprint attendance machine or time attendance system) records who arrived, and when, with their own finger or face. For bakeries and food production units, that means early starts recorded, and night allowances calculated.

07Frequently asked questions

Can it handle night shifts?

Yes.

Can it work with flour dust?

Keep the terminal clean and covered. Face recognition or cards help.

Can it cover several shops?

Yes.

How long does installation take?

One terminal is usually a few hours: mount, power, network, enrol staff and test. Larger sites take longer.

Do you deliver outside Nairobi?

Yes. We deliver countrywide and survey Nairobi and the surrounding counties for free.

What is a time attendance system?

It is a terminal at the door plus software. Staff scan a finger, face or card, the terminal records who arrived and when, and the software totals hours, lateness and overtime for payroll.

Can a terminal stop buddy punching?

Yes. A finger or face belongs to one person, so nobody can clock in for a friend the way they can with a card, a PIN or a paper register.
