Designed for modern workplaces, the app replaces manual time-tracking systems with a secure, contactless, and highly efficient solution that recognises employees' faces to log their shift times instantly.

How It Works:
Employees simply stand in front of a device equipped with the app (e.g., a tablet at the entrance) and their face is automatically scanned and verified in seconds. Once identified, their shift status is updated — either logging them on at the start of their shift or off at the end. The app is linked to the schedules in SmartTask to ensure real-time data tracking and reporting.

Key Benefits:
• Accuracy & Accountability: Helps ensure only the registered employee can clock in or out using their facial image.
• Speed & Convenience: Logging in takes just seconds, with no need for ID cards, PINs, or manual signatures. Ideal for high-traffic or fast-paced environments.
• Real-Time Data Syncing: Managers can view live attendance data, generate reports, and track trends to optimise workforce planning and compliance.
• Payroll and Billing Integration: SmartTask can integrate with existing payroll and invoicing systems, reducing administrative overhead.
• Scalability & Flexibility: Whether you have 10 employees or 10,000, the app scales to suit your organisation, supporting multi-location time tracking and customisable access control. Other book on methods such as via app or phone call are available.
• Contactless & Hygienic: Especially valuable in health-conscious workplaces, this touch-free solution reduces the spread of germs compared to fingerprint scanners or shared punch cards.
