Iris ID is shipping its IrisTime biometric time-and-attendance platform, providing a fully customizable and accurate solution to meet the workforce-management demands of small businesses to enterprise organizations worldwide. IrisTime also provides a new technique for authenticating employee identity that uses a fusion of iris and face recognition to increase accuracy and convenience.
IrisTime’s Android-based platform accommodates hundreds of time-and-attendance applications while also enabling independent software vendors to create custom software solutions to meet specific organizational demands. The platform is shipped with a standard app.
Also, IrisTime platform is contactless, an essential consideration during the COVID-19 pandemic, says Mohammed Murad, vice president, global sales and business development, Iris ID. IrisTime is unaffected by employees wearing personal protective equipment, such as gloves, masks and goggles. A recent study by a federal agency showed systems using only facial recognition could be up to 50 percent less accurate when people wore masks.
“IrisTime uses fast auto-focus to quickly and conveniently authenticate employees’ identity at distances up to 24 inches,” he says. “Also, IrisTime’s accuracy is unsurpassed, as it is the first time and attendance platform that combines identifying characteristics from both an employee’s iris and face. That accuracy, along with seamless integration with payroll software, helps the platform eliminate potential errors while calculating hours worked, as well as benefits such as disability and accrued vacation time.”
Using IrisTime, employee authentication takes less than a second, a vital consideration during busy shift changes. While clocking in, the IrisTime screen displays an employee’s name, company I.D. number and photo, along with the time and date of the activity. Biometric technology authenticates identity with no necessity for employees to present a card or remember a PIN to clock in or out. However, IrisTime integrates with card-based access control systems to create multifactor authentication at mission-critical sites.
Companies using Iris ID platforms for time and attendance or access control don’t have to re-enroll employees to use IrisTime.
For any size company, IrisTime provides a high return on investment by eliminating costs associated with administering and managing punch, barcode, magnetic swipe or proximity cards and PINs. The accuracy of the biometric technology ensures the identity of an employee, eliminating the ability of employees to clock in for each other in a costly payroll fraud known as buddy punching. Fraud, along with inaccurate or outdated payroll technologies, might cost a business thousands of dollars annually, Murad says.
Iris ID provides iris-based authentication systems for workforce-management solution suppliers. such as Paychex and SimplyWork, as well as for many global enterprise customers.
