Newsrooms run on early starts and late finishes. 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 media houses and studios, that means irregular hours recorded exactly, and overtime calculated.
Key takeaways
- Irregular hours recorded exactly
- Overtime calculated

07Frequently asked questions
Can it handle irregular hours?
Yes. Flexible shift rules fit newsroom schedules.
Can it cover reporters in the field?
A mobile app or terminal at the bureau can record them.
Can freelancers be added?
Yes, for the days they work.
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.
How long does installation take?
One terminal is usually a few hours: mount, power, network, enrol staff and test. Larger sites take longer.
