Relevant losses include hours lost due to unproductive working hours, late coming, early going, break times of exceedingly excessive duration, and possibly unnecessarily excessive hours of overtime. Staff attendance automation is therefore very crucial in tackling the losses. In implementing attendance automation, a modern and effective recognition means of staff must be used in automatically capturing in and out times of personnel. Facial recognition technology is highly recommended since it is an excellent seamless integration solution currently available.

Facial recognition overcomes several shortcomings of other biometric means, such as fingerprint scanning, inapplicable to the time clocking industry. The facial recognition solution principle of operation is simple: the moment a face is recognized, it goes through comparison with the data from an enrolled whitelist and blacklist in the database. This gives people that are authorized to make the necessary entry and exit record, which is more accurate and helps make attendance management more efficient. Through this technology, attendance-related risks of losses significantly diminish and overall productivity increases.
