Month end should not be an argument. Read on: it takes a few minutes and could save you a lot more than that. **In this guide you will see:** - Every worker recorded each day - Weekly pay matches the record - Foreman and owner see the same numbers Quick answer Daily labour needs daily records. 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 construction sites, that means every worker recorded each day, and weekly pay matches the record.

When pay day arrives, memory and notebooks disagree. A terminal at the gate gives everyone the same record on the same day. ## Step by step Staff arrive~at the terminalScan finger or face~one secondPunch recorded~name and timeReport ready~for payroll ## Where it goes **Tip**: Best spot: at the site gate, under cover. ## In stock now ## Get a free survey **When to call a professional**: We survey your site for free, quote in writing, then supply, install, configure and train your team.

Yes. Compact terminals with battery or solar can run on site. Does it need mains power? Battery and solar options can power a site terminal. Can it move to the next site? Yes. Terminals can be relocated, and staff stay enrolled. 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](https://qyvea.co.ke/biometrics); 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. ## Why customers choose Qyvea **Genuine brands**: Manufacturer warranty on what we sell, so you are not gambling on the box. **One team, start to finish**: The people who advise you also install and support it. **Fast answers**: WhatsApp replies usually within 30 minutes, and delivery within 24 hours in Nairobi. **Easy to buy**: Pay by M-Pesa, bank transfer or card.
