Knowing who is or has been on site, when, and for precisely how long is crucial both to controlling associated costs and reducing risks.

More than 2500 sites already utilise the Causeway Donseed biometric solution to do just that.

Now it has been given a powerful upgrade to help contractors with the Covid era challenge.

The latest Causeway Donseed release includes new contactless facial recognition technology, which enables construction contractors to verify identity at sign-in and sign-out without any skin contact.

It is unique in offering both fingerprint recognition and facial recognition verification options on a single portable device.

The facial recognition solution is also now available on a mobile app (iOS and Android).

Causeway Donseed said: “This new release puts safer site access and greater control of time and attendance within the grasp of construction firms through contactless biometric identity just when they need it most.

“By deploying the new facial recognition solution on site, contractors of all sizes can capture Covid-secure, non-skin contact time and attendance records for any site or zone.

“It can eliminate the hygiene concerns of physical sign-in and reduce the risks and delays of processing unreliable paper-based timesheets.

“With the Causeway Donseed solution timesheets are built accurately and in real time, giving constant visibility and reducing unnecessary risks and costs from mistaken, inflated or rounded up logging of on site hours, as well as data entry errors.

“In a time of industry uncertainty it has never been more important for contractors to establish greater cost controls that can have a direct impact on project profit margins.”
