Buddy punching is when one employee marks attendance for another — common in factories, sales teams, or any large workforce.
Basic selfie systems often fail because employees can share photos or recorded videos.

Kredily’s AI system stops this by:
✅ Using liveliness detection: employees must be physically present; AI checks for blinking, slight facial movements, depth from camera.
✅ Real-time scanning: system won’t accept a flat photo or screen replay.
✅ Location data: HR can geo-fence punch-ins, e.g., allow marking only inside office, store, or site.
✅ Immediate fail alerts: employees see if punch attempt is blocked due to spoof detection.

This prevents payroll fraud, keeps attendance genuine, and builds trust with managers.

Yes — this is exactly where AI attendance excels.

✅ Multiple shifts / night shifts:

• HR can define fixed, rotational, or night shifts.

• System auto-maps punch-ins to correct shift.

• Flags late punch, early departure, overtime.

✅ Field staff:

• Sales or service teams can mark attendance from client sites.

• GPS data ensures punches happen from approved zones.

• Managers see field movement history on dashboard.

✅ Work-from-home / hybrid teams:

• HR can allow WFH punch-ins on certain days.

• Punches still need AI face verification + location check.

• Reduces manual attendance sheets for remote days.

All this is fully managed in the admin portal, and syncs to payroll and compliance reports.

Beyond preventing fraud:
✅ Cost saving: no hardware cost vs. fingerprint scanners or RFID.
✅ Faster HR processing: live data means HR spends less time collecting attendance sheets or chasing missing punches.
✅ Accurate payroll: real punch data → fewer payroll errors, automatic calculation of LOP & overtime.
✅ Hygiene & safety: fully touchless — important post-pandemic.
✅ Better compliance: secure logs for audits, employee disputes, and labor law requirements.
✅ Employee trust: self-service app lets staff check daily punch data, see leave balances, and raise corrections if needed.

For multi-location SMEs, these directly reduce HR workload and risk.

✅ Face data is converted to encrypted templates (mathematical models of face points) — not stored as raw photos.
✅ Data is stored on secure servers (ISO-compliant).
✅ Access is role-based: only HR/admins can view attendance logs.
✅ Employees can see only their own data.
✅ Backups are automated; data is never sold or shared outside the organization.

This aligns with global data privacy standards and Indian data security norms.

Yes. Kredily’s AI is trained for:

• Masks: uses partial landmark detection to match upper face & eyes.

• Low light: adaptive brightness & contrast detection.

• Older/small cameras: works even on budget smartphones.

Punch-in time remains fast: ~2 seconds, so employees aren’t delayed at start of shift.

✅ Attendance data auto-syncs daily:

• Approved leaves reduce working days.

• Absenteeism creates LOP (loss of pay).

• Overtime tracked separately.

✅ Payroll engine uses this to:

• Calculate net salary, deductions, overtime payout.

• Auto-generate payslips & compliance reports (PF, ESI, TDS).

This eliminates manual Excel uploads & HR errors.

Yes. Kredily offers flexible plans:
✅ No upfront hardware purchase.
✅ Pay-as-you-scale pricing.
✅ Works with teams as small as 10–20 employees.

SMEs avoid CAPEX on biometric hardware; all staff need is a phone and internet.

Yes. Kredily’s AI-powered face recognition attendance system makes traditional fingerprint machines unnecessary.
✅ It’s touchless, so it’s safer post-COVID.
✅ Works for remote teams, field staff, and distributed offices.
✅ No costly biometric hardware or AMC (annual maintenance) is needed.
✅ Faster implementation — HR only needs to onboard employees on the app.
For SMEs and growing companies, it reduces hardware cost, improves flexibility, and keeps data centralized in one cloud system.

The process is simple:

1. Employee opens the Kredily attendance app (Android/iOS).

2. App turns on front camera → AI scans face in real time.

3. System verifies liveliness and GPS location.

4. Punch confirmation appears on screen (with timestamp).

5. Data instantly updates in HR dashboard & payroll.

This takes around 2–3 seconds, and works anywhere with internet access.

Yes. HR can create location-based policies:
✅ Geo-fencing punch-ins for certain branches, warehouses, or client sites.
✅ Different shift timings and holiday calendars per location.
✅ Separate late mark and overtime policies per city or branch.
This flexibility is why AI attendance is popular with companies having offices in multiple cities or states.

HR teams can generate:
✅ Daily, weekly, monthly attendance reports.
✅ Late marks, early departures, absentees.
✅ Shift compliance and overtime logs.
✅ GPS logs showing where punches happened.
✅ Integration-ready files for payroll or statutory compliance (PF, ESI, etc.).

Reports can be exported in Excel or PDF.

Kredily’s attendance app needs internet to validate liveliness and sync data.
However:
✅ If the internet drops momentarily, data is stored locally and syncs automatically once connection resumes.
✅ Employees get instant feedback if punch failed.

This ensures real-time data accuracy and prevents fake backdated punches.

Yes. HR can set:
✅ GPS-based geo-fence (e.g., within 100 meters of office location).
✅ Employees outside this zone cannot punch in.
✅ Field teams can get separate location rules.

This stops misuse like punching from home when employees should be on-site.

Yes. Kredily’s AI attendance is cloud-based and priced to be affordable for small teams.
✅ Avoids upfront biometric device cost.
✅ Scales easily as team grows.
✅ Gives professional HR dashboards and reports even for small companies.
