Affordable Touchless Attendance Face Software: overview
This guide covers face recognition attendance for businesses: how it works in Attend Mitra, how to keep the total cost low, and what to check before you pick a tool.
The short version: Attend Mitra gives you one-time face enrolment, match at every clock-in and no terminal required, running on employees' Android phones instead of a machine at the door. You can try it free for 14 days without a credit card.
Where face recognition attendance goes wrong for businesses
Buddy punching
Cards, PINs and registers can be used by anyone who has them.
Shared scanners at shift change
Queues form at a single terminal and staff clock in late through no fault of their own.
Hardware at every site
Buying and maintaining a device per branch gets expensive quickly.
Failed matches with no process
When recognition fails, staff give up and the day goes unrecorded.
How face recognition attendance works in Attend Mitra
Face recognition attendance confirms that the person clocking in is the employee on record. In Attend Mitra, each employee enrols their face once through the phone camera. At every clock-in, the app compares a fresh capture with the enrolled profile, so a colleague can't mark attendance on someone else's behalf.
Because it runs on the phone camera, face recognition works without a wall-mounted biometric terminal and without touching a shared scanner. If an employee's appearance changes, a manager approves a re-enrolment with a time-limited code.
What to check before you choose
- Does it need a dedicated device, or does it run on the employee's phone?
- What happens when a match fails: is there an override process?
- How is re-enrolment controlled so nobody swaps in a different face?
- Can it be combined with a location check?
- What lighting and camera guidance does the app give staff?
Keeping the cost of face recognition attendance under control
The price per employee is only part of the cost of face recognition attendance. Fingerprint terminals, installation at every site, replacement devices and the HR hours spent fixing records all add up. Attend Mitra runs on employees' Android phones, so there is no device to buy per location.
Plans are sized by headcount (Starter for up to 20 employees, Professional for up to 100 and Enterprise for larger teams), so a small business isn't paying for enterprise features it won't use.
- No per-site hardware to buy or maintain.
- Plans sized by headcount: up to 20, up to 100, or unlimited.
- 14-day free trial before you pay anything.
