Why teams choose PeopleMuster
- You get two ways to check in. A ZKTeco fingerprint terminal on your office network, or a browser card on the employee dashboard inside a window around the assigned shift.
- Punctuality turns into numbers: on-time rate, late minutes and punch corrections per person. A missed window becomes a manual punch request that HR reviews.
- Fingerprints stay on the terminal. PeopleMuster receives only who punched and when.
- Leave is in the same place, with quotas per type, approvals and year-on-year usage analytics.
- Hours are logged by project each day, with approvals and a configurable logging window, and they feed utilisation and the capacity plan.
