Biometric Attendance System for Warehouses and Logistics Yards: illustration
Quick answer

Loaders, drivers and clerks on different clocks. 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 warehouses and logistics yards, that means casual loaders recorded daily, and drivers' arrival times visible.

Warehouses and Logistics Yards: how it works, step by step

02Why it matters

ImportantA yard moves goods all day with people who come and go. Without a reliable record, casual pay is argued daily and nobody can prove who loaded what shift.

07Frequently asked questions

Can casual workers be paid daily?

Reports can show daily hours so daily pay is accurate.

Can it work outdoors?

Choose a weather-rated terminal and shelter it. We advise on placement.

Can it tag a driver to a vehicle?

Terminals record people. Vehicle tracking is a separate system.

Can it feed payroll?

Yes. Reports export hours, lateness and overtime for your payroll team.

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.
