Kronos taps M2SYS for biometrics solution

Thursday, June 25, 2009

M2SYS, a developer of biometric solutions, has announced that they have been chosen by workforce management systems developer Kronos Incorporated for integration of biometrics into some of their existing time and attendance solutions. The specific solution from M2SYS that is being deployed is their Bio-SnapON software.


The BIO-SnapON software operates via a PC and USB connected fingerprint reader to authenticate a user and operate the time-punching. The major call for solutions such as these is that they eliminate buddy punching wherein an employee will punch in or out for a different one leading to incorrect time cards and eventually costing a company extra money in payroll expenses. [end]

The partnership will enable any client using RightPOS to do away with employee passwords or PINs for authentication purposes.
