ExakTime releases new biometric solution for construction sites

Friday, November 11, 2011

ExakTime has announced the addition of a biometric time and attendance tracking product designed for use by contractors or site managers for construction projects.

The solution, called FaceFront Biometrics, is software designed for us on smart phones or tablets with front-facing cameras and utilizes face recognition to match construction workers clocking in for work to their profile to ensure the person being clocked in is actually on site.


In addition to the time and attendance tracking aspects of the new solution, the FaceFront software is able to help track equipment through accessing GPS capabilities of the phone or tablet and having a piece of equipment assigned to an employee so that the equipment’s location can be tracked when looking at where the employee has been checking in.

ExakTime also built in many other features such as the ability to take specified notes, support for three languages, wireless syncing and other management tools. [end]
