Shortcomings of physical bio-metric machines
The functionality of HRMS systems has uncovered numerous flaws of physical biometric devices. While it is quite expensive to rely exclusively on a network of physical biometric devices due to high maintenance, electricity and equipment costs, it poses performance drawbacks too:
- Physical bio-metric machines are wall mounted devices limiting their usage to in-office employees however, tracking attendance of on-field teams still remains a challenge
- It is quite an unusual task to upgrade or update the software or hardware of such machines for enhancement of their performance and being a physical device it requires frequent cleaning and maintenance
- The data has to be fetched manually from physical bio-metric devices and often, the data is stored in excel files which are not readily available to users for reporting
- Businesses find physical bio-metric authentication inconvenient while managing the bio-metric data and it can only tell the time when an employee interacted with the machine, leaving the rest to estimation
- At times physical machines can act buggy
What is virtual biometric and how it works
The virtual biometric plugin available with uKnowva HRMS allows employees to login using multiple devices. It uses following two data points to identify and track employee attendance:
- Identity: Entering a unique user ID and password confirms the identity of the employee
- Location: The plugin picks up the location/IP of the device which helps to identify if the employee is in the office or at some other location.
The HRMS software features a wide range of tools to manage and review employee data while reducing manual effort through automation. Our/uKnowva’s virtual biometric is designed to help small and medium scale businesses through cost effective management tools. The platform can also be customized to suit the specific needs of any business.
