    Anyone have a client using a thumbprint timeclock system with Sage 100?

    @HaroldWestover should be able to tell us how well time clock plus works with one. I would expect most any of them do if they interface with biometric scanners. https://www.timeclockplus.com/Pages/Hardware/Biometrics.aspx?gclid=CJHyza-Ix9ACFY5LDQod0AgOFg

    Yes, we have 2 thumbprint timeclocks installed. Both are from Time Clocks Plus. Works well once it's all configured. Requires a bit of setting up using their software and creating a csv file to be imported into Payroll. Tech Support is very good and can help with the setup

    I have a client that used fingerprint clocks; it was on a factory floor and they ended up switching to facial recognition instead. The workers had too many problems clocking out with dirty hands. The facial recognition worked well; there was some setup involved. I don't recall the name of the system but I can ask on Monday . We had to write the import routines. for both but they were not too difficult.

    Also be careful if you have an older demographic using the readers. I had a casino once that tried fingerprint recognition but they had issues as a elderly worker's fingerprint didn't scan very well.

    I have a Client using a digital hand print system for 13 locations and over 900 employees. There is nothing magical about a thumbprint or hand print. Once the timeclock system recognizes the initial print, it creates an analog of the thumb or palm. When the employee clocks in/out, the print is recognized and verifies who the person is clocking in/out just another way to enter the Employee number. Once the day's or pay period data is complete, the timeclock system exports the data to Sage 100 Timecard or Payroll system. Sage 100 doesn't care how the timeclock data is collected. In my case Timeclock Plus has the csv export compatible with Sage 100 Visual Integrator already done for you.
