You might have a head office with a fixed terminal, a dozen sites whose gates didn't exist last month, project managers who want their own numbers, and a head office that wants one total by nine. VAQT Neo is built for that kind of business.
Yours don't. Neo covers the head office, every site and the whole company in one attendance record, so you're not comparing three systems that never agree.
Face terminals on the wall at the entrance check staff in as they arrive. There are no cards to lose, no PINs to share and no queue at the start of the shift.
Neo also works with terminals you already own. Old and new devices feed the same record, so there's no need to replace equipment that works.
A supervisor takes a rugged handheld to wherever the workers are, whether that's the site entrance, the bus or the muster point. It recognises faces in under a second, even in direct sunlight, and needs no cables, mains power or network.
If there's no signal, the handheld stores each punch and uploads it later with the original time.
Register someone's face once, at any gate, and every device will recognise them. When a worker moves to another project, nobody has to register them again.
Rosters update on every terminal automatically, and each device reports exactly what it holds. Neo also checks for people registered twice and for two people sharing one employee code, so nobody's hours end up under someone else's name.
A fixed terminal for the main gate, a battery-backed one for remote compounds, and a handheld for crews on the move. All three report to the same Neo console.
Fixed face terminal for main entrances, lobbies, and turnstiles.
Fixed terminal for compounds and temporary sites where power and wired networks are unreliable.
Rugged Android handheld a supervisor carries to the gate, the bus, or the muster point.
Every punch on a handheld records where it happened. Draw a boundary around a site, and Neo notes whether each punch was inside it and, if not, how far away.
If a system treats them as the same thing, one of your reports will always be wrong. Neo keeps them separate: employees belong to sites, and sites belong to projects.
Every morning, yesterday's attendance arrives by email as a PDF and a spreadsheet.
Neo handles the situations most systems leave you to fix in a spreadsheet.
Add your own punch types beyond check-in and check-out, and decide how often each can be used, how much time is deducted and whether it counts as worked hours.
Set each terminal for entry only, exit only or both, to match how each gate is used.
Shift patterns, weekly days off, leave, overtime and night shifts that run past midnight all work as standard.
In and out events are paired centrally, so entering at one gate and leaving at another still makes one day.
A late punch is judged by the policy in force when it happened, not by today's settings.
Terminals store punches while offline and send them in order when they reconnect, with none lost or doubled.
A terminal checks its clock before it records, so punch times can be relied on.
Every change leaves a trail, and closed attendance stays closed for payroll.
Tell us about your gates, your sites without signal and the terminals you already have. We'll show you how Neo brings them into one record, and where VAQT HRM fits if you also need payroll and HR.
