What it does for your business
Pick your device's brand and StartERP shows exactly what to type in, then tells you the moment it connects. ZKTeco and every ADMS brand (eSSL, Realtime, Identix, Biomax, FingerTec, Timmy, Granding) send every punch on their own with their cloud push setting, and a device already calling from your office shows up ready to add; Hikvision, Suprema BioStar 2, ZKBioTime, Dahua, Matrix COSEC, IDEMIA, 2N and Akuvox door phones and access systems like HID, Honeywell, Bosch, Lenel and Paxton post each punch with a secret token of their own, or StartERP signs in to BioTime, BioStar, Hikvision, Dahua or Anviz CrossChex and fetches the punches every few minutes. Virdi, NITGEN, USB readers and any device that only reaches the office network go through the small StartERP agent on an office PC, and any punch clock's exported file can be uploaded. Settings → Biometric devices holds a guide for every brand, the repeat and offline rules, and an alert when a device goes quiet. Each number goes to the person who has it and onto their attendance day, in the device's own time zone; a punch sent twice counts once and a second punch within 2 minutes is kept aside. From StartERP you send everyone's number and name to a ZKTeco device, set its clock, have it send its log again or restart it.
ZKTeco, eSSL, Realtime, Suprema, Hikvision, Dahua, Anviz, Matrix, IDEMIA, Virdi, HID and more
A guide for every brand: cloud push, webhook, StartERP fetching, an office-PC agent or a file
Every number to the right person and onto their attendance day, in the device's time zone
Commands to ZKTeco devices: send everyone, set the clock, send the log again, restart
