Why construction companies switch to biometric attendance

Paper registers and manual time sheets make it easy to record hours for workers who were not on site, and they take supervisors hours to compile each month. A biometric attendance machine records every worker's clock-in and clock-out automatically, so you pay only for the hours actually worked.

On construction sites, fingerprint readers often struggle because hands are rough, cut or covered in dust and cement. Face and palm recognition terminals avoid this: workers simply look at the device, and large crews can clock in quickly at shift change.

Recommended devices

Face recognition terminals

Fast, touch-free clock-in for large crews, for example the ZKTeco Horus E1-FP and iFace880 Plus.

Face & palm terminals

High accuracy with no touching, such as the SpeedFace-V5L and SpeedFace-H5L.

4G / Wi-Fi terminals for remote sites

Sites without office internet can use a connected terminal such as the ZKTeco Horus E2 (4G, IP65).

Handheld & mobile

Supervisors can record attendance anywhere with the handheld Horus H1, or staff can use the Synktime Mobile attendance app.

Frequently asked questions

Which attendance machine is best for construction workers?

Face or palm recognition terminals are best, because fingerprints on site are often worn, cut or dirty. They are touch-free and fast for large crews at shift change.

Can one system manage several sites and labour camps?

Yes. Network-connected devices at each site send records to Synktime attendance software, so HR sees every site in one place.

What if a site has no internet connection?

Devices store attendance records in their memory. You can use a 4G/Wi-Fi terminal, or collect the records and upload them later. Ask us which option suits your site.

Can workers clock in from different locations?

Yes. Supervisors can use the handheld Horus H1, and staff can use the Synktime Mobile attendance app.

Do you install the machines and train our team?

Yes. We install the devices, enrol workers, set up the software and show your team how to use the reports.
