Biometric Time Attendance Systems
Accurate staff attendance with fingerprint and face recognition — no buddy punching
Fingerprint and face recognition time attendance systems for offices, factories, schools, hotels, and construction sites across Tanzania. Know exactly who came in, when, and for how long — with reports ready for payroll.
Why this matters for your business
Paper registers and manual sign-in books are easy to manipulate. Staff sign in for absent colleagues, arrival times get rounded, and HR spends days every month reconciling attendance before payroll can run.
Comelit has delivered solutions like this to 500+ clients across Tanzania — every one built around the client's specific environment.
Our capabilities in detail
Every engagement is tailored to your specific situation — here is what we bring to the table.
Fingerprint & Face Recognition Terminals
We supply and install biometric terminals that identify staff by fingerprint, face, card, or PIN in under a second — including touchless face recognition and models suited to dusty or outdoor sites.
Attendance Software & Reports
Shifts, overtime, lateness, leave, and public holidays are calculated automatically. Daily, weekly, and monthly reports are ready to export straight into payroll.
Multi-Branch & Cloud Attendance
Connect devices across offices, shops, and sites to one central system, so HR can see live attendance for every location without travelling to collect data.
Door Access Integration
Use the same biometric device to control door access — only authorised staff can enter specific areas, and every entry is logged.
Payroll & HR System Integration
Export attendance to Excel or integrate directly with your payroll or HR software, removing manual re-entry and errors.
Installation, Training & Maintenance
We mount and network the devices, enrol your staff, train HR, and provide ongoing maintenance and support.

Fingerprint or face recognition — which is better?
Face recognition is touchless and works well for staff with worn fingerprints, such as manual workers. Fingerprint devices are cost-effective and reliable for most offices. Many devices support both, and we recommend based on your environment.
Can the system work across multiple branches?
Yes. Devices at different locations can report to one central system, so HR can view attendance for all branches from head office.
Can attendance reports be used for payroll?
Yes. The software calculates working hours, lateness, overtime, and leave, and exports to Excel or integrates with your payroll system.
Can the same device control door access?
Yes. Many biometric terminals can also open doors, giving you both attendance tracking and access control from one device.
