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:** - Opening and closing times recorded - Managers see attendance from anywhere - Pay matches the hours worked Quick answer Members want the counter open when you said. 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 SACCO and microfinance offices, that means opening and closing times recorded, and managers see attendance from anywhere.

A single compact terminal is enough for a small office. Can the manager check from home? Many systems offer remote reports. Can it cover field officers? Field officers can use a mobile app or a terminal at the branch. 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. 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. ## 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.
