Workforce Attendance for Dubai Non-Desk Teams

GPS check-in with AI face verification from the staff member's phone. No fingerprint readers at the gate, no kiosks, no shared touch surfaces. Multi-site, WPS-ready, and PDPL-compliant by default.

Multi-site · Mobile-first · WPS-ready · PDPL-aligned · Free up to 25 staff

The Dubai workforce doesn't queue at a single gate any more

A fingerprint reader at a single reception worked when everyone came to one office. Dubai workforces — construction across project sites, security across posts, healthcare on shifts, hybrid teams between home and the office — don't fit that shape. The right attendance system records where each staff member actually is, verifies that they are who the record says they are, and produces a clean WPS-ready hours export your payroll system can consume. Aiya does that without any hardware at the gate.

GPS check-in

A geofence per site, branch, or post. Staff check in inside the zone; out-of-zone attempts are flagged.

AI face match

Live selfie matched against the enrolled face on every check-in. Stops buddy-punching without a shared scanner.

Phone-based — no kiosks

Works on any modern phone. Offline-capable: check-ins cache locally and sync when connectivity returns.

Shift-aware

AI shift drafting; mandatory rest, prayer break, lunch, and overtime caps applied automatically.

Multi-site, multi-supervisor

Central operations sees every site; each supervisor sees only their own. Strict role-based access.

WPS-ready exports

Hours, overtime, and absences export cleanly into your payroll or bank WPS gateway. Aiya does not process payroll directly.

Live operational dashboard

Who is on site right now, where, with what face-match confidence. History on demand, trends per shift and per site.

UAE PDPL handling

Consent-captured, encrypted biometric data, configurable retention, processed in a UAE-aligned regional data centre.

From decision to live attendance — under two weeks

01

Map your sites

Draw a geofence around every site, branch, or post. 30 minutes per site.

02

Onboard staff

Excel bulk import. Photo enrolment for face matching, 60s per staff member.

03

Daily check-in

Staff check in from their phone at the site; live dashboard updates for supervisors.

04

Review exceptions

Out-of-zone, low-confidence, unusual patterns — flagged for managers, never silently accepted.

05

Export to payroll

WPS-ready hour exports feed your existing payroll system or bank gateway.

Built around UAE compliance, not adapted to it

UAE Labour Law working hours

Daily limits, mandatory rest, prayer break, lunch, and overtime caps per Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021.

Inspection-ready audit trail

Each check-in records face-match confidence, GPS, device fingerprint, and server timestamp. Retained for the legally required period.

UAE PDPL biometric handling

Explicit consent on first use, encryption at rest and in transit, processed in a UAE-aligned regional data centre, configurable retention.

WPS-ready exports

Aiya produces exports your payroll or bank gateway accepts cleanly. We do not dispatch WPS ourselves.

Frequently asked questions

Does it work on sites with poor mobile signal?
Yes. Check-ins cache on the phone and sync when connectivity returns. Face matching runs server-side so older, cheaper phones work fine.
How is this different from a fingerprint system?
Fingerprint readers verify the finger, not the person, and only record presence at one fixed location. GPS + face verifies identity per check-in and confirms the worker's location, so the audit trail is much richer.
Can it handle our multiple branches across Dubai and Abu Dhabi?
Yes. Each branch is its own geofence. Central operations sees every branch; each branch manager sees only their own. Strict data isolation by default.
Is the data hosted in the UAE?
Yes — biometric and workforce data is hosted in a UAE-aligned regional data centre. We do not send biometric data to third-party AI providers.
Is there a free tier?
Yes — free up to 25 staff with the full feature set including face matching. Growth: AED 8/staff/month from staff 26+. Enterprise: custom (adds payroll + GPSSA + WPS file). Hosting included.
