uAttend BN6500 Biometric Fingerprint Time Clock System for Small Business with WiFi and Cloud-Based Employee Timecards

Caution: Seems like a good product HOWEVER, it requires a cloud subscription which can be between $300 - $1,900 per year depending on number of employees.

First off, I haven't received the time clock itself yet but we have setup all 60+ employees and tried a soft introduction. Findings so far are mostly that the software lacks a lot of proper implementation of features. * vacation administration is very basic. Eventhough employees can be assigned to shifts and departments with fixed work days and times, the vacation requests don't consider any of this. We are closed on Sundays, yet if an employee requests 3 weeks vacation, we need to manually set all Sundays to 0 work hours. Supervisor or administrator can't change it for the employee. * administrator and supervisor users are not considered employees and need seperate accounts to have their hours registered. Since email addresses are unique in the system, admin and supervisors need to setup up additional email addresses to get their own timecard or other data. * users can't change their basic personal data themselves (address, password etc) * geolocation for smartphone punches and many other location based data are only based on USA. There's no option to change addresses of employees to outside the USA and the geolocation for punches is useless outside the USA. * shift and/or manpower scheduling are totally underdeveloped and so not intuitive it's useless. You can assign shifts to employees but for a schedule you still need to assign every employee every single day. There r no templates or any intelligence to make it easier to use. * tip system is as underdeveloped. It's there but so basic and so many daily adjustments to be entered, it's useless. * certain features in the web portal are terribly slow to even open.. Customer support is very quick, friendly and decent. Big plus there. It's just too bad they can't make a Toyota out of this limping tricycle. Hopefully the time clocks will at least be able to keep track of the actual work hours and with the (not customizable) reports, we will try to create a somehow workable solution for our restaurant. Tech support did take note of my recommendations and they might consider implementing some of them of enough customers request the same items. Considering this software seems to have a few more customers already, I honestly can't believe they never received the same feedback I gave them. The above mentioned missing features are as far as I can see it, issues for any of their customers with more than 2 employees. I'll update when the hardware arrives... ======================================== We received the punch clocks. The system seems to be able to let employees punch, the data itself is not useable for payrol or scheduling, so simply export that data and import it in our own systems where we can clean up the data and make it useful. uAttend still seems like its very underdeveloped software but since the timeclocks only work with uattend, we will find ways to compensate for the lack of intelligence in the software.. The monthly subscription seems rather high for the system they offer..

Don’t Buy this product ! You must pay to use It !

Got pay for subscription

Best thing I've had in years tracking and monitoring employees time. Customer support is great too

The uAttend BN6500 is a biometric fingerprint time clock designed for tracking attendance in small business or event settings. This unit was acquired specifically to record attendance at various events through its cloud-based management system. ​The Positives ​The device offers multiple punch methods, including a fingerprint scanner, RFID capabilities, and PIN entry. ​It features integrated WiFi, which allows it to sync data to cloud-based employee timecards without a hardwired connection. ​The physical interface includes a digital display and a clear keypad for manual navigation and clock-ins. ​The build quality is professional and suitable for mounting in high-traffic areas. ​The Caveats ​Utilizing the cloud-based timecard features requires an ongoing monthly subscription, which is an additional cost beyond the initial purchase price. ​Fingerprint scanners can occasionally be sensitive to placement, sometimes requiring a second attempt if the sensor is not clean. ​Initial configuration and connecting to a specific WiFi network via the on-device keypad can be tedious. ​Conclusion: This system is a reliable and modern solution for digital attendance tracking. While the subscription model is a necessary consideration, the hardware is functional and well-suited for professional event coordination.
