ZenHR’s Native Integration with ZKTeco Attendance Machines

ZKTeco is a leading global developer of smart security solutions and systems. ZKTeco’s biometric attendance machines track employees' time and attendance transactions through fingerprint scans and geolocation tracking. ZKTeco attendance machines integrate with ZenHR through BioTimeCloud, a cloud-based time attendance software that helps manage and organize your workforce effectively, regardless of their location, without a physical server. If you don’t have a BioTimeCloud account and would like to use your own hosted attendance software, we can still record your employee’s attendance data into an SQL server database.
