Case Studies
eSSL Time Attendance System – Multi-Location Case Study | Chordia Group, Pune
Project Overview
Chordia Group, a prominent real estate and construction organisation based in Pune, required a reliable eSSL time attendance system to manage employee attendance across multiple project sites and offices in Pune. With employees spread across various locations — and internet connectivity being limited or unavailable at some remote sites — a traditional standalone biometric system was impractical.
Cybernetics Software Pvt. Ltd. designed and deployed a comprehensive eSSL-based centralised time attendance system using ESSL face recognition machines at all sites and a web-based attendance software server at the head office. Attendance data from all locations is automatically pulled to the central server, giving HR a unified, real-time view of employee attendance across every Chordia Group site.
Client Requirements:
- Fingerprint/face-based centralised attendance system covering all Pune locations
- No client software installation at remote sites — internet and local PCs were not available at several locations
- All attendance data to be stored and accessible centrally at head office
- Software must handle multi-shift management for varied employee schedules
- Automatic data collection from all site machines without manual intervention
Cybernetics Software Solution:
- ESSL face recognition (face detection) machines deployed at all Chordia Group sites — providing contactless, hygienic attendance marking
- Web-based centralised attendance software installed on a single head-office server — accessible via browser from head office without any client installation at remote sites
- Auto-download utilities configured to automatically fetch all attendance punches from ESSL face machines to the central server
- All client requirements — multi-shift, OD entry, leave management, tour entry, and manual punch — customised within the attendance application
- GPRS-based data transmission configured for remote locations without stable LAN connectivity
Hardware & Software Deployed:
| Biometric Hardware | ESSL Face Recognition / Face Detection Machines |
| Attendance Software | Cybernetics Web-Based Centralised Attendance Software |
| Server Deployment | Central head-office server; web-browser access from any authorised PC |
| Data Connectivity | TCP/IP (LAN/Internet) + GPRS for remote locations |
| Authentication | Face Recognition (contactless biometric) |
Salient Features of the eSSL Time Attendance System:
- Centralised time attendance — all site data flows to one head-office server
- Web-based software — no client installation needed at any remote site
- OD (On-Duty) entry for employees working off-site
- Tour entry for field and travelling employees
- Manual punch facility for missed or exceptional punches
- Leave management — casual, earned, and sick leave tracking
- Multi-shift support: auto shift, rotational shift, flexi shift
- GPRS data transmission for remote sites without stable internet
- Auto-download utilities for fully automatic punch data collection
Benefits to Chordia Group:
✅ Effective Time Management
Real-time attendance data from all Pune sites gives HR an accurate, up-to-date picture of workforce attendance — enabling proactive management rather than reactive reporting.
🌐 No Local Software Needed
Remote sites with no PC or internet connection are fully served by the ESSL face machine alone. The web-based system at head office handles all processing.
🔄 Centralised Control
All attendance data stored at head office. HR generates consolidated reports covering every site from a single dashboard — without visiting each location.
😊 Employee Convenience
Face recognition is contactless and fast — employees don't need to clean their hands before punching. Leave applications and OD requests are managed through the self-service system.
Why eSSL Time Attendance for Multi-Location Businesses?
eSSL (ZK Technologies) biometric machines are among India's most reliable and cost-effective time attendance hardware. For organisations like Chordia Group managing employees across multiple Pune locations, an eSSL time attendance system offers:
- Wide hardware range: Fingerprint machines, face recognition terminals, card readers — choose the right device for each location
- TCP/IP + GPRS connectivity: Machines connect to the central server over LAN, Wi-Fi, or GPRS mobile data — suitable for even remote construction sites
- Large storage capacity: eSSL machines store thousands of templates and hundreds of thousands of punch records locally before syncing
- Proven reliability: Thousands of deployments across India; robust hardware built for continuous 24/7 operation
- Free and paid software: From basic desktop attendance to enterprise web-based centralised systems — scalable to any organisation size
Frequently Asked Questions – eSSL Time Attendance System
What is an eSSL time attendance system?
An eSSL time attendance system uses eSSL biometric machines — fingerprint readers or face recognition terminals — to record employee IN/OUT punches automatically. Data is processed by a central attendance software for shift management, OT, leave, and payroll. eSSL time attendance systems are widely deployed in offices, factories, and construction sites across Pune.
Can eSSL time attendance work across multiple locations in Pune?
Yes. eSSL time attendance systems support multi-location deployment. Auto-download utilities pull punch data from all site machines to a central head-office server via TCP/IP or GPRS — as implemented for Chordia Group across multiple Pune locations in 2015.
Does remote site need a PC or software for eSSL time attendance?
No. The eSSL machine at the remote site operates standalone — employees simply punch IN/OUT on the device. The centralised web-based software at the head office automatically downloads and processes all data. No local PC or software installation is needed at the remote site.
What is the difference between eSSL fingerprint and face recognition time attendance?
eSSL fingerprint machines identify employees via their fingerprint — fast, accurate, and cost-effective. eSSL face recognition machines (like those used for Chordia Group) are fully contactless, hygienic, and work even if an employee's hands are dirty or wet — ideal for construction sites and factories. Both integrate with the same centralised attendance software.
Does the eSSL time attendance system handle leave and OD management?
Yes. The Cybernetics web-based attendance software includes leave management (casual, earned, sick leave), OD (On-Duty) entry for employees working off-site, Tour entry for field staff, and manual punch for missed punches — covering all time-office functions.
