Face Recognition Attendance that Stops Buddy Punching
Capture a live selfie at punch-in and punch-out. KivoDesk matches it to the employee profile photo before the attendance record is saved.
PINs and shared kiosks invite buddy punching. KivoDesk face recognition attendance asks for a live camera capture, compares it to the stored profile photo, and only then writes punch-in or punch-out. Managers get a cleaner daily log without installing fingerprint hardware.
Features
What you get with KivoDesk Face Recognition Attendance
-
Live selfie at punch
Employees capture a face photo in the moment — not an old gallery image — before the punch is accepted.
-
Profile photo match
The live capture is compared to the employee’s stored profile photo so the person punching is the person on the roster.
-
Buddy punching control
A teammate cannot quietly punch for someone else if the live face does not match that employee’s photo.
-
Portal and kiosk ready
Use the same flow on the employee portal or an office attendance screen with a camera.
-
Tied to the attendance ledger
Verified punches still produce late, overtime, and duration data managers already use.
-
Payroll-ready history
Face-verified days flow into the same reports and payroll inputs as the rest of KivoDesk attendance.
Benefits
Why teams choose face punch

Trust the daily log

No fingerprint hardware
Cameras on phones and office devices are enough to run the check.

Same HR stack
Face punch sits on the same employee directory, leave, and payroll as the rest of KivoDesk.
How it works

FAQ
