AI Attendance — Face Verified, From a Phone
Face-verified, location-checked attendance from each staff member's own phone. No shared fingerprint readers, no kiosks, no morning queue. AI does the verification; humans confirm every consequential decision.

Biometric proof of presence — minus the queue at the door
Traditional biometric attendance means a shared scanner, a queue, recurring hardware costs, and a long list of failure modes — humidity, dust, broken readers, shared touch surfaces. The phone in each staff member's pocket already has a camera, GPS, and a connection. Aiya uses that: the live selfie is matched against an enrolled face, GPS confirms the person is inside the work zone, and the check-in is recorded with a tamper-resistant audit line. Biometric where it matters, without the hardware — and with a human confirming any decision the AI suggests.
Face as the biometric
A live selfie at check-in is matched against the enrolled photo, server-side. No physical reader to share, break, or replace.
GPS as the location check
Geofencing confirms the person is inside the site, post, ward, or branch at the moment of check-in. Outside the zone is flagged.
Each person uses their own phone
No queue at a shared device, no public touch surface. Works on any modern smartphone.
Anti-spoofing built in
Liveness checks reject printed-photo and screen-replay tricks. Impossible-GPS-speed and device-change signals are flagged, not silently accepted.
Anomaly detection
Sudden swings in check-in time, location, or device surface for review. The model learns each operation's rhythm.
AI suggests, humans decide
Smart suggestions on regularisation and anomalies. Every consequential decision still needs a manager's click. No black-box automation.
Configurable retention
Biometric records auto-delete after the configured retention window. Audit history is kept separately, without the biometric image.
PDPL-compliant by design
Explicit consent on first use, encrypted storage, and data-subject rights (access, correction, erasure) through the staff app.
The biometric flow, end to end
Enrol once
The staff member is photographed in good light during onboarding. The photo is encrypted; consent is captured and timestamped.
Check in from any zone
They open the app at the work location, take a live selfie, and confirm. GPS + face match run together in seconds.
Live audit recorded
Match confidence, location, device, and time are recorded against the staff record, visible with role-based access.
Anomalies surfaced
Out-of-zone, low-confidence, or unusual patterns are flagged for a human to decide — never silently accepted.
Auto-deletion at expiry
Biometric records auto-delete after the configured retention period; an audit summary is retained without the image.
Built around UAE compliance, not adapted to it
UAE PDPL biometric handling
Facial geometry is treated as biometric data: explicit consent on first use, encrypted at rest, processed in a UAE-aligned regional data centre, retention configurable. Data-subject rights supported through the staff app.
No shared touch surfaces
Each person uses their own phone — no hygiene risk, no queue at a shared device, no recurring sanitisation overhead.
No third-party AI provider sees biometric data
Face matching runs inside our own infrastructure. Staff photos are never sent to external AI vendors.
Tamper-resistant evidence
Each check-in records match confidence, GPS, device, and time — audit-ready evidence for UAE Labour Law working-hour requirements.
