When a company decides to install an attendance system, their choices include a hardware based card swipe system, a hardware based thumb attendance system and a hardware based face recognition system. None of those present a practical, low maintenance and quick implementation design.
Truein has revolutionized this industry but introducing a leading edge technology – HardwareLESS face attendance. It has been adopted by more than 150 brands like Godrej, Titan, PC Jewellers, Bajaj Allianz and 1mg.
Switching from a Thumb Biometric device to Truein Face based Attendance Software is definitely a huge advantage and has brought satisfaction to our 400+ employees who start each day with a “Selfie”!

Why does Truein win over the other hardware-based systems?
| Points of Consideration | Truein | Other hardware based attendance systems |
|---|---|---|
| How does it work? | It can work with any tablet or mobile. Simply download the app and get going. | They require specific hardware which works only with their system |
| What are the upfront device costs? | You can install one tablet at every premise or you can ask the employees to use their own phone. So the costs are negligible to nil. | You need to buy their hardware for every premise. |
| What are the entry barriers? | You can start off in one day, practically. There are no major installations required. It is like installing an app and using a web-based dashboard. | You would need to purchase the hardware and wait for it to get installed. If you have the attendance hardware of your old system, it has to be discarded for a new one by the new vendor. |
| What are the exit barriers? | You don’t have any hardware to discard. You can move on easily. | You have to think about return on investment of your hardware and wait for a reasonable period before you think of system or vendor change. |
| What are the lifetime hassles? | You have to incur no maintenance cost. The software upgrades are included in your license. Any issues with the tablet or mobile can be easily troubleshooted. It requires only Android or iOS knowledge. | You have to maintain the hardware through an annual maintenance contract. If the system is not working, you have to wait for the service manager to visit the premises and fix it. |
| What are the offline capabilities? | Truein works online as well as offline. In case there is no internet, data gets synced up later. Even remote shops or offices can use Truein without any hassle. | Most of them work only online. |
| What are the reporting capabilities? | Truein gives daily updates on SMS and mobile dashboard to all managers and admin. There is a live dashboard for instant actions. | Most of them require manual calculations at month-end for a clear view of the attendance statistics. |
| What are the technology advantages? | Truein face recognition system is AI-powered and is benchmarked with eyes. It can recognize with 100% accuracy even when facial features change. | Non-recognition errors are very common. Lack of accuracy and reliability gives rise of parallel systems like manual registers. |
