In a Biometric time attendance system, there are two components. One is the data collection unit and the other is the software. Both of these elements are important. But do we know which one is the most important?

1. Biometric Attendance Management Software
If you are taking one component from data collection and data analysis, you
might need to make a tough choice.
To know the mainstream quality of the whole biometric time attendance system,
you need to benchmark the software that it runs. Finding the best software for
this system is a challenging job, many of the time managing systems come along
with a built-in software, but however they don't build for your company, they are
built keeping all the companies in general. Your company must have special needs
that are needed to be embedded in the software program.
What are you looking for from a software?
1. Ease of use. Any biometric time attendance software needs to be easy to
use and should be away from all kinds of complications. You should keep in
head that all the people who work in your company are not computer
engineers. They have limitations when it comes to technology. So the
whole system should be easy to operate. Look for support that you will get
for your software. Sometimes these are value added support and comes
with the product for free. Training is also included in many of these
software supports.
2. You need to know what the capability of the software is. How many
employees can it keep a record of? Can the software support over 1000
employees. Can the software function some analysis of the data it has or
can it do some statistical probability so show how many workers will be
present on a specific day? You will be amazed to see the number of options
the software comes through. Also talk to the manufacturer whether any
customization is possible or not.
3. Checking whether you software supports payroll is another option. This will
make things much easier for the other people.

2. 4. You also need to see what kind of technical and customer support you will
get after buying this attendance software. There are many companies that
give world-class support. This time attendance system is a very crucial and
vital thing for the business if the software hangs or crashes, your company
will be out of time attendance for a whole day. Imagine the magnitude of
loss your company will go through in the meantime. Getting a good quality
support promise is very important when you are purchasing a software for
your biometrical time attendance system.
Hardware
Software is more important than the hardware, but that does not mean that the
hardware does not count. Hardware are the body of the whole system that is
being played. You can punch in the pin in the hardware and the camera in it also
comes in handy in a biometric time attendance system.
