The goal of any access control system is to let authorized people, not just their credentials, into specific places of your building, organization or business complex. Only with the use of a biometric device can this goal be achieved, and in this article we’ll tell you precisely why…

Card Based Access Systems Don’t Work

A card-based access system will control the access of authorized pieces of plastic, but not who is in possession of the card. Systems using PINs require an individual only know a specific number to gain entry; but who actually entered the code cannot be determined.

For example, buddy clocking, has been on the sharp rise among many big businesses and among factory employees across the nation. With thousands of dollars being wasted every quarter by employees who cheat the clock-in system—there’s no disputing that biometric technology is the solution. It will literally save your business thousands of dollars—especially if you have a history of problems with employee buddy clocking.

Reduction The Probability Of Error & Administrative Costs

Biometric reductions in errors have lowered the capital costs of ID cards in recent years and the true benefit of eliminating them is realized through reduced administrative efforts. For example, a lost card must be replaced and reissued by someone. Just as there is a price associated with the time spent to complete this seemingly simple task, when added together, the overall administration of a card system is costly. Take for example the administrative costs that go into the handling, processing and outsourcing of ID cards. You add this all up and the cost of shipping—and your admin expenses quickly start stacking up.

Biometric Technology Will Benefit You Biz

Contrary to using badges, sign-ins or other ways of tracking employees, a biometric time clock assures that no employee can punch in for another, eliminating time fraud and reducing payroll costs. Because every person’s biometric characteristic (hand, fingerprint, eyes, face, etc.) is unique—a biometric time clock provides a quick, accurate, and reliable way to record in-punches and out-punches for each employee with little-to-no room for error.

Why You Need Biometric Technology For Your Business

With security risks, buddy-clocking, privacy issues and personal business documentation—there’s no reason your business shouldn’t be equipped with the type of state-of-the-art technology you need to protect what’s most important—you business.
