Does it survive dusty, offline mine conditions?
Yes — rugged IP-rated terminals with contactless face or fingerprint work in dust and with no signal, syncing when reconnected.
How does a biometric attendance system work?
Employees enrol once. At clock-in, NCheck captures their face or contactless fingerprint, matches it to an encrypted template, and logs an accurate, time-stamped record — on a phone, tablet, IP camera or terminal.
Is biometric data secure, and who can access it?
With on-premises deployment, biometric data is stored as encrypted templates on your own servers — never in a third-party cloud. Only your organisation can access it, supporting GDPR and data-residency requirements.
What if a fingerprint or face won’t scan (gloves, masks, dust)?
NCheck is multi-modal: if one method can’t be used, it falls back to another. Contactless face and fingerprint avoid the failures of touch sensors in dusty, gloved or industrial conditions.
Does it work without an internet connection?
Yes. NCheck records attendance offline and syncs automatically when a connection returns — ideal for sites, fields and remote locations.
Do we need to buy special hardware?
No. NCheck runs on employees’ own phones and tablets, on IP cameras, or on dedicated terminals (Aratek, Telpo, BioRugged) — your choice, no lock-in.
How does biometric attendance save money?
By tying every clock-in to a verified person, it ends buddy punching and timesheet padding, so you pay only for hours actually worked — and accurate records cut payroll errors and disputes.
Does it integrate with payroll and HR systems?
Yes. NCheck exports accurate work hours, overtime and reports for your payroll and HR systems.
Is biometric attendance GDPR-compliant and legal?
Used correctly — with consent, encrypted templates and clear retention limits — yes. NCheck’s on-premises option keeps biometric data under your control. (General information, not legal advice.)

Yes. NCheck unifies time attendance, access control (doors and gates) and visitor management on one biometric platform.
Does clock-in work underground with no connectivity?
Yes — devices keep verifying and logging offline underground and sync automatically at the surface.
Can it show who is above vs below ground?
Yes — zone-based headcount shows exactly who is underground at any moment, supporting cage manifests and emergency response.
Can rosters handle rotations and fatigue limits?
Complex shift rotations are supported, and hour reports help you monitor fatigue-relevant limits across crews.
