Why Biometrics Matter in Zambia
Across Zambia, many businesses lose money because of poor timekeeping, biometrics and payroll mistakes. In the past, companies used paper registers or PIN codes. However, these old systems caused many problems. For example, they allowed “buddy punching,” where one worker clocks in for another. As a result, time theft increased, costs went up, and payroll became unreliable.
That is why more companies in Zambia are now switching to biometric time and attendance systems. First, biometrics work differently. For example, employees use their fingerprint or face to clock in. This way, no one can sign in for someone else. Therefore, records are always accurate, safe, and updated in real time. In other words, your business is protected, and at the same time, your payroll shows the true hours worked.
Real Example: Lusaka Company Fixes Payroll Fast
For instance, a logistics company in Lusaka had many payroll problems. Employees often clocked in for each other. Because of this, the records had big mistakes. In addition, overtime was often abused. Also, the payroll team could not keep up with all the errors. Therefore, the process was slow and stressful.
However, everything changed when the company started using TimeMaster’s biometric system. From that point on, employees clocked in and out using fingerprint scanners. At the same time, the system sent attendance data immediately. Moreover, it linked directly to payroll through Paymaster.
After just one month, the results were clear:
- First, time theft stopped completely
- Next, overtime costs dropped a lot
- In addition, payroll accuracy improved by over 90%
- Finally, HR saved hours every week on manual work
