Biometric Time Attendance Systems in Nairobi, Kenya
Masterpiece Systems Limited supplies and installs biometric time attendance systems in Nairobi, Kenya, for offices, shops, warehouses and other workplaces. A biometric attendance terminal records when employees clock in and out using a fingerprint reader or facial recognition. RFID card and PIN options are also available for quotation, depending on the model.
Share your staff count, site locations, shift patterns and reporting needs. We’ll confirm which terminals and software can be quoted and whether the scope can include installation, shift setup or payroll integration.
We carry out site surveys and installations across Kenya. Site survey and installation fees may apply. We confirm applicable charges before booking.

The cost depends on the number of terminals, employees and sites, the software licence and the setup required. A single office that exports attendance records will have a different scope from a multi-branch installation with central reporting and payroll integration.
What to check on the quotation. Confirm the terminal models, software licences, installation, shift setup, report configuration and staff training. Ask for recurring licence fees, payroll integration and ongoing support to be itemised where applicable.
Compare Fingerprint, Facial Recognition, RFID and PIN Clock-In
| Clock-in method | What to confirm before choosing |
|---|---|
| Fingerprint attendance machine | Check how the reader performs under normal workplace conditions, including where staff wear gloves or fingerprints are difficult to read. Confirm an alternative way to clock in. |
| Facial recognition terminal | Check lighting, mounting position and enrolment requirements. Ask whether the proposed system stores facial images, biometric templates or both. |
| RFID card or PIN terminal | Consider card or PIN clock-in if it meets your attendance needs. Check how cards and PINs are assigned, revoked and replaced. |
Shift Reports, Overtime and Payroll Integration
The terminal records clock-in and clock-out events. Attendance software uses those records and the configured shift rules to produce reports. If you run overnight shifts, rotating schedules or several branches, ask for a sample report that reflects how your staff work.
Share your payroll software name, version and required file format. Confirm whether the proposed setup offers a CSV or spreadsheet export or a compatible direct integration. Agree on who reviews missed punches, leave and overtime before payroll is processed.
Time Attendance Installation and Setup in Nairobi
An installation quotation can cover terminal mounting, power and network connections, software setup and testing. Specify whether you also need employee groups, shift rules, administrator training or reports that combine records from several sites.
Agree on the handover tests in advance. Include a normal shift, a missed clock-in, an overnight shift where applicable and a sample payroll export if required. Confirm who can correct attendance records and whether the software logs those changes.
Employee Biometric Data and Privacy in Kenya
Before choosing biometric clock-in, document why you need it and consider whether cards or PINs can meet the same attendance needs. Confirm what the system collects, where it stores the data, who can access it and how long it will be kept. Tell staff how to report and correct an inaccurate attendance record.
Review the guidance from Kenya’s Office of the Data Protection Commissioner and address the data protection impact assessment before enrolling employees or processing biometric data. ODPC Guidance Note on Biometric Data
Biometric Time Attendance FAQs
Can employees clock in when the internet is down?
Some terminals store clock-in records locally while offline. Confirm the proposed model’s storage capacity, how records sync when the connection returns and when central reports become available. If power outages are also a concern, ask about backup power.
Can I manage attendance across several branches?
It depends on the terminals, software and network setup. Share each location, staff count and reporting requirements. Ask how employee records are matched across branches and how each site’s records reach the central report.
Can the same terminal record attendance and unlock a door?
Some models support both functions. Confirm that the proposed terminal produces the reports you need and is compatible with the door controller and lock. Ask for attendance and access control to be listed separately in the quotation.
Do you install time attendance systems outside Nairobi?
Yes. Masterpiece Systems Limited carries out site surveys and installations across Kenya. Share your town, site details and number of terminals so we can confirm scheduling, delivery options and any applicable charges.
