Biometric attendance, run on-site
Pouint reads punches straight from your eSSL and ZKTeco devices and turns them into accurate attendance — including the shifts most software gets wrong: overnight, 24-hour, and split. No cloud required.
One timeline. Every shift you actually run.
Live shift model
The problem
Most attendance tools assume everyone clocks in and out inside the same calendar day. The moment a shift crosses midnight, runs around the clock, or splits in two, the math falls apart — and someone has to fix it by hand every single day.
A guard's shift ends at 06:00, past midnight.
Most attendance tools log it as an absence, or two broken half-days.
A security post runs a full 24-hour shift.
There's no clean in/out pair to compute — so hours get guessed at.
A restaurant runs a split shift: lunch, break, dinner.
The system sees four random punches instead of one shift.
Every client site got its own one-off punch-reading script.
Five sites, five codebases, and nobody wants to be on call for any of them.
How it works
No middleman cloud service standing between a punch and your records. Two small programs do the whole job, running on hardware you already control.
Employees punch in and out on the eSSL or ZKTeco readers already installed at your site. Nothing new to fit.
A lightweight program reads punches straight off every device and pushes them to the attendance app — one consistent codebase, not a one-off script per client.
Receives the punches, manages employees and shifts, computes attendance, and turns it into reports you can act on.
The products
Reads the devices, feeds the app
A lightweight background program that talks to every fingerprint device on-site and relays punches to Pouint Attendance in real time.

The shift engine
This is the part most attendance software avoids. Pouint's engine treats overnight, 24-hour, and split shifts as first-class shift types — not edge cases bolted on afterward — so a punch at 05:47 still lands in the right shift, every time.

Built for the day-to-day
Pull enrolled users straight off each device and map them to employee records — no re-typing rosters by hand.
Enable or disable a person's access per device from one place. Coming soon.
The same punch can arrive twice without ever being counted twice. Sync is safe to retry, always.
Add someone to a device after the fact and Pouint catches their history up instead of leaving a gap.
A device offline for days syncs its full backlog on reconnect without choking or dropping punches.
Attendance, overtime, and shift-compliance reports, ready to export and hand to payroll.
Runs where you do
Pouint runs as a desktop app on a machine already sitting near your devices. No mandatory cloud step, no data leaving the building unless you decide to move it.
