Expand Your Offering with Face Recognition Time Clock

Biometric technologies, including facial recognition, are increasingly essential in both personal and business applications, particularly in sophisticated time and attendance collection systems. Introducing a biometric face recognition system to your offerings benefits both you and your customers. 

Prospective clients are likely exploring face recognition time clocks to enhance their employee time tracking, making it crucial for you to engage in these discussions to capture their business. 

When selecting a facial recognition time clock to resell, consider two key criteria: 

• How does it enhance your overall solution? 

• Can you scale sales and management of the clocks without compromising profitability? 

This article explores the features, benefits, and support considerations to help you choose a facial recognition time clock vendor that adds significant value to your business. 

How a Facial Recognition Time Clock Enhances Your Solution 

Integrating a facial recognition time and attendance solution with your system helps your customers better achieve their goals for automating the collection of employees’ work hours. 

Reduce Labor Costs with More Accurate Attendance Reporting 

Businesses replaced time cards to track hours worked with automated time clocks. Tracking employee time with a time clock boosts payroll accuracy, minimizes errors, and saves time.  

While automation improves efficiency, it can’t entirely remove time theft from adding to labor costs. Yet biometric time clocks can eliminate buddy punching, one of the costliest methods of time theft. A facial recognition time clock makes sure that only the employee physically present can use the clock. This prevents anyone from clocking in for someone else. 

Improve Employee Attendance and Productivity with Fewer Sick Days

Shared devices that employees must touch and wait to use increase the risk of spreading disease. 

A time and attendance collection system using a facial recognition time clock limits how often employees touch the device. This reduces the risk of transmission. With employees taking fewer sick days, teams stay more productive. Managers also spend less time managing schedules to accommodate unexpected absences. 

All biometric time clocks provide greater security than mobile devices used for time tracking, but hand and fingerprint scanners still rely on employees to touch the clock. 

Signs of a Well-Designed Facial Recognition Time Clock System

You’ll find great variety in biometric time clocks. As you compare facial recognition devices to sell, look for these hardware and software features.  

Hardware for a facial recognition time clock: 

• Large, high-definition screen so the facial scanning process can be done easily, without making employee placement difficult. 

• High processing speed and large memory so the authentication process happens quickly. 

• Presence sensor that “wakes” up the time clock when an employee is in proximity. 

Making a Face Recognition Time Attendance System Lucrative 

When deciding which face recognition system to sell, the value it offers your customers is half of the equation. The other half is the value selling facial recognition time clocks offers your business. 

 Make sure the biometric time and attendance collection system you sell earns returns that don’t diminish as your resale channel grows. 

How Fast Can You Get to Market with the Face Recognition Time System? 

Selling a complete face recognition system, tested and validated, is the fastest way to market. Your only task should be integrating the clock's time and attendance software with your solution. A good vendor will provide a robust SDK and API library to simplify this process. 

You can get to market with a biometric time clock within eight weeks with our AccuCloud cloud-based time collection system. AccuCloud works with the stride®80 clock and the Only|You™ Face Recognition software. The AccuCloud system comes with a range of tools that make remote management of biometric time clocks and their integration with your solution easy – learn more about AccuCloudAccuCloud here. 

Do You Have the Flexibility to Resell Only What You Need? 

Reselling a complete system is the fastest way to market if you don’t already have some components built in-house. If you do, the vendor should allow you the flexibility to integrate your middleware or time clock software with their facial recognition system. 

Will the Costs of Provisioning Time Clocks Eat Away at Your Profits? 

Partnering with a vendor that will handle time clock provisioning is crucial to maintain profitability. Hardware sales isn’t like selling software subscriptions. Hardware requires substantial operational costs for storage, labor, and inventory management. These costs escalate as sales increase. 

Your tech team would also face the added burden of installing and configuring software on each time clock sold. If your company doesn't already sell hardware, providing time clocks may reduce profits. Ensure that your time clock vendor can manage the entire provisioning process. This will prevent your company from having to physically handle any time clocks you resell. 

How Scalable is the Facial Recognition System? 

Scalability is essential to your company realizing the full ROI potential of reselling facial identification terminals. Ask potential vendors about the support and tools they offer to help your teams manage multiple, large deployments of face recognition time clocks in real time. 

Ask them how deployed time clocks get software and security updates and how biometric templates are stored and managed .  Without a strong middleware for face recognition terminals, the costs of supporting and managing them will reduce your profits. 

Facial Recognition Time Clocks are Essential to Offering an Advanced Time and Attendance Collection System
