Drivers and conductors keep the schedule honest. 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 matatu and transport SACCOs, that means drivers and conductors recorded at the stage, and fair turns from a clear record.
Key takeaways

07Frequently asked questions
Can it be used at a stage?
Yes, with a sheltered terminal at the office.
Can it work in an open stage?
Shelter the terminal and use a weather-rated model.
Can it tag a vehicle?
Terminals record people. Vehicle tracking is separate.
Do staff need to be trained?
Enrolment takes about a minute per person, and we train HR and managers on the reports.
Fingerprint or face recognition: which is better?
Both are accurate on good terminals. Fingerprint suits most offices and is familiar. Face suits gloves, hygiene areas and fast flows. Many terminals offer both, plus cards as a backup.
How much does a time attendance terminal cost?
It depends on the terminal type, the number of staff and the software. See our biometrics page; we quote after a free survey.
Does it work in a power cut or without internet?
Yes. Terminals store punches and sync when power and network return. A small UPS covers short cuts.
