The integration of biometric attendance devices like fingerprint clock in systems brought a revolution to attendance management. It simplified the attendance marking, effectively replacing the need for employees to enter time and signature on the company’s paper registers every time they clock in and out. However, the pandemic brought another bigger challenge to attendance marking. Using the shared fingerprint scanners by everyone in the company could no longer be allowed due to the fear of spreading the virus. In that context, many organisations started considering no-touch or contactless attendance management systems as a solution. This blog discusses:

• What is no-touch attendance management?
• Why do SMEs need to invest in such systems?
• How does Mewurk’s AI-enabled face recognition attendance kiosk revolutionize no-touch attendance?

What is no-touch attendance management?

No-touch attendance management is a system that tracks employee attendance without requiring physical contact. It effectively replaces traditional fingerprint scanners. The major drawback or challenge with finger clock in systems was that they involved multiple people touching the same device, which easily increased the risk of spreading infectious diseases. In the case of a contactless attendance system using face recognition, such risks are totally eliminated. It will ensure a seamless and hygienic attendance process. When there are no physical contact points in the attendance marking, there is a better atmosphere for workplace safety and hygiene.

The Need for Contactless Attendance Solution in SMEs

Organizations started to think seriously about touchless attendance since the Covid19. However, the fear of the spread of infectious diseases is not the only reason why SMEs must adopt no-touch biometric time clocks. Let’s discuss a few reasons why it is crucial for small and medium enterprises today.

Health and Safety Concerns: The most obvious merit of touchless biometric time clock systems is that they reduce the risk of spreading infectious diseases. By adopting this at workplaces, companies can effectively do away with shared touchpoints and ensure a safer workplace for employees.

Improved efficiency: With a face recognition time attendance system, your employees do not have to manually mark their attendance. They can simply walk into the office while the attendance is automatically marked. It improves attendance management efficiency.

Better scalability: Contactless attendance systems can accommodate all kinds of business models and industries. There is no need to upgrade the system as you scale your business. Hence, it is an ideal attendance management option for SMEs.

Accurate attendance data: No-touch attendance systems as compared to fingerprint clocking in machines are tamper-proof. The system uses an advanced face recondition system supported by AI. Buddy-punching or tweaking with the attendance data is thus not possible.

Cost-efficiency: Since no-touch attendance systems do not use physical touchpoints like biometric fingerprint time clock, there are no damageable hardware components which require frequent maintenance, making it one of the best cost-effective attendance management methods for organisations.
