Workforce Attendance — Zero Hardware at the Gate
No fingerprint readers. No face kiosks. No card scanners. No shared devices to maintain, sanitise, or replace. Staff check in with face + GPS from the phone they already own. Same biometric proof, none of the operational overhead.
No hardware · Mobile-first · Offline-capable · UAE PDPL-aligned · Free up to 25 staff
The phone in everyone's pocket is the answer
For a decade the default UAE attendance answer was a fingerprint reader at the gate. They worked, mostly. They also queued at shift start, failed in humidity, demanded sanitising after every press, and recorded identity-of-finger rather than identity-of-person. A smartphone has a camera, a GPS sensor, an internet connection, and a unique device fingerprint — every piece a biometric attendance system needs. Aiya uses what's already there. No hardware install, no recurring replacement, no kiosk failure on the day you don't have time to fix it.
Each staff member uses their own phone
Works on any modern Android or iPhone. No need to issue company devices.
No fingerprint readers
Zero hardware at the gate. No installation, no power, no network for a reader, no replacement when it fails.
Face matching instead
Live selfie matched against the enrolled face on every check-in. Identity-of-person, not identity-of-finger.
GPS instead of a fixed reader
A geofence per site, post, or branch. The "where" is recorded per check-in instead of inferred from a single scanner location.
Offline-capable
Check-ins cache locally on the phone if connectivity drops and sync when back online.
Instant onboarding of new sites
New project site? Draw a geofence on the map and you're done. No reader to procure, install, network, and configure.
Lower five-year TCO
At 100 staff, eliminating fingerprint readers saves AED 30,000–80,000 in hardware alone over five years, plus install, network, maintenance, and replacements.
PDPL-compliant biometric handling
Explicit consent, encryption, configurable retention, processed in a UAE-aligned regional data centre.
Without the hardware overhead
Geofence each site
Draw a radius around each site on the map. 30 minutes per site. No reader procurement.
Onboard staff in bulk
Excel import. Photo enrolment for face matching, 60 seconds per staff member.
Daily check-in from the phone
Staff open the app at the site, take a live selfie, confirm. GPS + face match in seconds.
Live dashboard for supervisors
Who is on each site right now. Out-of-zone or low-confidence check-ins surface immediately.
New site? Add a geofence.
No reader to procure or install. Operational overhead does not scale with the number of sites.
Built around UAE compliance, not adapted to it
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.
No shared touch surfaces
Each person uses their own phone — no queue at a shared device, no hygiene risk, no recurring sanitisation overhead in clinical settings.
Tamper-resistant audit trail
Each check-in records face-match confidence, GPS, device fingerprint, and server timestamp. Audit-ready evidence for working-hour records.
No third-party AI providers see biometric data
Face matching runs inside our own infrastructure. Staff photos are never sent to external AI vendors.
