Hundreds of staff, many buildings, one honest record. 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 universities and colleges, that means one system across faculties and campuses, and part-time and casual hours recorded exactly.
Key takeaways
- One system across faculties and campuses
- Part-time and casual hours recorded exactly
- HR sees everything in one report
- Qyvea supplies, installs and trains your team.

07Frequently asked questions
Can it cover several campuses?
Yes. Terminals at each campus report to one system, so HR sees every site together.
Can lecturers be tracked by lecture time?
Terminals record arrival and departure. Lecture timetables stay in your academic system.
How are casual staff handled?
They enrol like everyone else and appear in the same reports with their own pay rules.
Is biometric attendance legal in Kenya?
Yes, with care. In Kenya the Data Protection Act, 2019 treats biometric data as sensitive personal data, so tell staff why you collect it, store it securely and use it for attendance only. This is general information, not legal advice.
How many staff can one terminal hold?
Models hold from hundreds to several thousand fingerprints or faces. We pick the size from your headcount on the survey.
Can staff cheat it?
A fingerprint or face belongs to one person, so nobody can clock in for a friend the way they can on paper.
Can it feed payroll?
Yes. Reports export hours, lateness and overtime for your payroll team.
