In many organizations, especially those with over 50 employees, managing attendance, breaks, and overall productivity can become a real challenge. One of our clients was facing a similar issue. Employees frequently stepped out during the day for smoking or short personal breaks, and to compensate, they stayed back after hours. While this might sound like dedication on the surface, it led to some unintended consequences.
The company had to bear additional costs-providing transportation, dinner, and overtime payments for those staying late. But the real issue ran deeper. Some employees who misused their time during the day began presenting themselves as hardworking by staying late and subtly discrediting colleagues who were genuinely focused and productive during working hours.
This toxic behavior created a culture of mistrust. Over time, the company lost several brilliant, dedicated employees who felt undervalued and misjudged.
That’s when we stepped in with a combined solution using Turnstile Gate systems and FaceMatch technology. This proprietary setup ensured:
The results were powerful:
A significant reduction in unnecessary overtime.
Cut down on extra costs for transport and meals.
A renewed sense of fairness and trust among employees
Higher productivity and a happier, more accountable workplace
Most importantly, it helped the organization retain its most valuable asset-its sincere and hardworking team members.
If you have more than 50 employees and are dealing with overtime abuse, high costs, or a toxic workplace culture, let’s talk.
Let’s build a smarter, fairer, and more productive workplace-together.
With a 90% reduction in overtime and transport/food expenses, the company saves ₹414,000 per month, while maintaining productivity and improving workplace culture.
The company saves approximately ₹414,000 per month after implementing the solution.
With an implementation cost of ₹2.5 lakh, the Return on Investment (ROI) in just the first month is 65.6%.
That means the entire cost of the solution is recovered in less than a month, and from the next month onward, it’s all savings!
The “Assistance Control” project was inspired by the basic idea of the “Bologna Process”, a Pan-European collaboration which started in 1999, to adapt technology to provide a better quality of education that would allow improvement of the next generation of classroom teaching.
The best project finally chosen and tested involved students registered for classes with NFC phones, during the academic year 2011–2012 at “Universidad Pontificia de Salamanca, Campus Madrid” (UPSAM).
This resulted in the senior students at the School of Computer Engineering to certify 99.5% accuracy and ease of attendance that ensured continuous assessment without loss of instructional time allocated to this activity.
