The problem

  • 60 contract guards rotating across 9 client sites — fingerprint scanners couldn't follow them
  • Site attendance was a paper register, faxed to head office on Mondays
  • Client invoicing required reconciling deployment registers by hand at month end

How HelloTime solved it

  • Shared Android handset per site running HelloTime face recognition against the site's enrolled guards
  • Mock-location detection + geofence so guards can only clock in inside the client premises
  • Per-site deployment register exports straight into client invoices via HelloBooks
Our clients used to wait a week for the deployment register. Now they get a clean export on the morning of day one of the next month — and we got our money's worth in the first cycle.
