Managing the attendance of employees in multiple offices or branches may be quite an ordeal—especially when such offices are located in different cities. If you have installed biometric attendance machines in locations such as Delhi, Gurugram, and Noida, and your head office is located in Gurugram, you need a secure method of collecting and viewing attendance reports from all the locations at one place. That is where a cloud-based biometric attendance system by AmpleTrails is useful.

Biometric machines in conventional systems keep data locally or on an exclusive in-house server. But handling servers is very demanding—electricity bills, technical upkeep, physical security, and so forth. A cloud-based system takes away all the hassles.

Here’s the process: each biometric attendance machine is internet-enabled. After going online, the machine reports attendance data in real-time to a central cloud server through Push Data Connectivity. This implies that whenever an employee clocks in or out, their attendance is reported to the cloud automatically without any manual intervention.

All you need to do is configure the server URL into the biometric device. That’s all. No jumbled setup, no delay of syncing. Post setup, the system functions itself.
