Most attendance problems are not capture problems — they are reconciliation problems. Biometric logs live in one place, the leave register in another, and payroll rebuilds it all by hand each month. ADMINFACE keeps every source in one register that payroll reads from.
Every module free for 30 days, no credit card. After that: from $1 per module per month, per organisation, with no per-employee fees. Free modules right now: Regions, Branches, WFH, Notice Board, Daily Notes, Reports, Performance, Recognition, 360° Feedback, Surveys, HR Helpdesk, Statutory, Onboarding, Family Details, OKRs & Goals and Org Chart. Your organisation gets its own isolated database.
Office staff, field teams and shop-floor workers rarely clock in the same way. All of these land in the same register.
Employees clock in from any browser. The app is a PWA, so it installs on a phone home screen without an app store download.
eSSL, ZKTeco and Hikvision readers sync automatically — either pulled on a schedule or pushed live by the device over ADMS. A separately priced module.
Field staff check in with location attached, and a live map shows where people are during the working day. A separately priced module.
Build shift patterns, assign them per employee or team, and plan rotations ahead with a visual planner.
Extra hours are requested and approved rather than inferred, so overtime pay is backed by an approval trail.
Bring in historic attendance from CSV or Excel — useful when migrating mid-year from another system or a spreadsheet.
Define your shift timings, grace periods and week-offs once, then assign them to employees, teams or whole branches.
Clock-ins, biometric punches and GPS check-ins all write into the same daily register as they happen.
HR reviews flagged days — missed punches, late marks, unapproved absences — and edits with a full audit trail.
Payroll reads the finalised register, so paid days, LOP and overtime carry through without re-keying.
In most organisations attendance is technically being recorded — the problem is that it is recorded in three or four places that never quite agree. The biometric device has punches. The leave register has approved absences. A supervisor has a WhatsApp message about someone working from a client site. Payroll has a spreadsheet that tries to reconcile all of it on the 28th.
Every one of those reconciliations is a chance to underpay someone, overpay someone, or spend a day arguing about a punch that did not register. The fix is not better capture; it is having one register that all the sources write into, and having payroll read from that register rather than from a copy of it.
Each employee has a daily record carrying status (present, absent, late, half-day, on leave, holiday, week-off), the in and out timestamps, the source that produced them, and any correction made afterwards along with who made it. Because leave and WFH requests write into the same register on approval, an approved leave day cannot also show as an unexplained absence.
Biometric attendance usually arrives with a Windows box in a corner running the vendor's sync utility. ADMINFACE talks to devices in two ways and needs neither a dedicated machine nor a manual export:
Supported hardware covers eSSL, ZKTeco and Hikvision readers, with per-device connection testing and a sync log so a device that stops reporting is visible immediately rather than at month end. Biometric sync is its own module ($10 a month for the whole organisation), separate from attendance itself ($10 a month for the whole organisation). There is more detail on the biometric attendance page.
Not everyone works where a reader is mounted. GPS check-in attaches a location to the punch, and the live tracking view shows where field staff are through the day — useful for sales teams, service engineers and delivery operations; GPS tracking is a separately priced module. Work-from-home days are handled as their own request type, so a WFH day is recorded as worked rather than as an absence that someone has to explain later.
Attendance reporting filters by employee, department, branch and date range, and covers the questions that actually get asked: who was late this month and how often, which department has the worst absence rate, how much overtime a team logged, and how many paid days each person accrued for payroll. Reports export for anyone who wants to work on them elsewhere.
Attendance records are also statutory records almost everywhere. Hours worked, rest days and overtime are inspectable under working-time law in most jurisdictions — the Shops and Establishments Acts and the Factories Act in India, working-time regulations across Europe, wage-and-hour rules in the US — and overtime claims turn on documented hours. A register with timestamps, sources and an audit trail is a considerably better answer to an inspector than a reconstructed spreadsheet.
Attendance is one of the parts of HR that is genuinely country-neutral — a shift is a shift and a late mark is a late mark. Each organisation sets its own country and dial code at signup, its own currency symbol, its own financial year start and its own working hours, and the interface is available in English, Hindi, Arabic, French, German and Spanish. Biometric readers and shift rules work identically wherever they are installed.
| ADMINFACE | Typical HR platform | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Attendance: $10 a month for the whole organisation, for unlimited employees — free for your first 30 days | Per employee, per month |
| Biometric integration | Biometric module: $10 a month for the whole organisation, no per-device licence | Often a paid add-on or higher tier |
| Middleware needed | None — direct pull or ADMS push | Usually a Windows sync utility on-site |
| Payroll link | Same platform, no export step | Often a separate product or a CSV hand-off |
| GPS check-in | GPS module: $5 a month for the whole organisation, not per field employee | Commonly a field-force upgrade |
| Shift planning | Rosters and rotations included | Frequently a workforce-management add-on |
"Typical HR platform" describes the pricing and packaging patterns common across the category — per-employee monthly billing, feature tiers and paid add-ons. Individual products vary; check current terms with any vendor you are comparing.
eSSL, ZKTeco and Hikvision readers are supported through dedicated adapters. Devices can either be polled on a schedule or configured to push punches live using the ADMS protocol, so no on-site sync utility or dedicated Windows machine is needed.
Yes. ADMINFACE is a progressive web app, so employees install it to their home screen from the browser without an app store download, and clock in from there. GPS location can be captured with the punch for field staff.
They are the same system, so there is no export or import between them. Payroll reads the finalised attendance register directly to derive paid days, loss of pay and overtime, which removes the monthly reconciliation step entirely.
Yes. HR and admin users can edit any attendance record, and every edit is written to the audit log with the user and timestamp. Corrections are traceable rather than silent, which matters when a deduction is queried months later.
Yes. Shifts are defined with their own timings and week-offs, assigned per employee, team or branch, and a planner lets you lay out rotations in advance. Shifts that cross midnight are handled as a single working day.
Yes, through bulk import from CSV or Excel. This is normally how organisations migrate mid-year without losing the running year's records.
Every new organisation can use attendance — with biometric device sync and GPS check-in — free for 30 days, with no card. After that each is a separate module priced per organisation per month in US dollars. Attendance: $10 a month for the whole organisation. Biometric sync: $10 a month for the whole organisation. GPS: $5 a month for the whole organisation. You pay only for the ones you keep, for 1, 3, 6 or 12 months at once. There is no per-employee charge.
Try every module free for 30 days with no card, then pay monthly only for the modules you keep — priced per organisation, never per employee.
HR built for teams of 5 to 200, without the per-seat maths or the enterprise implementation project.
Leave types, balances, approval chains, holidays, comp-off and encashment in one place.
Salary structures, PF, ESI, professional tax, approval workflow, PDF payslips and EPFO ECR files.
Sync eSSL, ZKTeco and Hikvision devices straight into attendance — pull or ADMS push.
Reusable onboarding templates, task checklists and a self-serve joiner portal.
Set up your shifts, let employees clock in and let one register feed payroll — free for your first 30 days with unlimited employees, biometric sync and GPS, then pay only for the modules you keep. No card at signup.
