AI-Driven Face Recognition: Automates Payroll And Attendance

56%
Less manual effort with AI-powered facial recognition

In a Nutshell

A major financial institution in Japan partnered with Innovature to digitize and automate its employee attendance and payroll systems using facial recognition technology. The result? A 56% reduction in manual effort, a 40% boost in team efficiency, and complete elimination of security concerns like buddy punching.

Inside the Opportunity

  1. The client was growing fast, so was their workforce.
  2. Manual attendance and payroll processes were consuming up to 40% of the HR team’s time, leaving room for errors and inefficiencies.
  3. Security concerns, such as buddy punching and tailgating, pose risks, especially in high-trust, high-compliance industries like finance.
  4. The client needed a biometric-based, tamper-proof system to automate time tracking and payroll, cut down errors, and boost accountability.

Inside Innovature’s Thinking

  1. Our engineers deployed a facial recognition attendance system that mapped employees’ biometric profiles to ensure accurate tracking.
  2. Enabled real-time attendance logging and working hour analysis with zero manual input.
  3. Integrated payroll preparation based on verified work hours—automating the entire process from check-in to paycheck.
  4. The system prevented buddy punching and tailgating, ensuring only authorized individuals could log attendance.
  5. The lightweight software was rolled out rapidly, aligning with the client’s tight go-live timeline.
