06Frequently asked questions

How long does installation take?

Usually a few hours for one terminal, after the survey.

Do you train our team?

Yes. We train HR and managers on enrolment and reports.

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.
