Smart Access Control Systems

· Sync attendance data from fingerprint or facial recognition devices.

· Integrate with HR and payroll modules in Odoo.

Integration Between Odoo ERP and Smart Access Control Systems

These systems include devices and technologies that control employee entry to buildings or departments, such as:

· Fingerprint scanners

· Smart ID cards (RFID)

· Facial recognition

· Access codes

They accurately record employees’ check-in and check-out times.

· Unified Attendance Data: Automatically import or sync attendance records instead of manual entry.

· Accurate Payroll Calculations: Payroll depends on actual recorded work hours.

· Save Time and Effort: Automate administrative tasks and reduce human errors.

· Performance Analysis: Monitor attendance compliance and tardiness.

Most smart access systems provide APIs to retrieve attendance data. Odoo can be configured to pull this data periodically or in real time.

Some devices allow exporting attendance logs in file formats which can be uploaded or imported into Odoo.

Some companies use middleware solutions to automatically connect devices with Odoo.

· Attendance data is linked automatically to employee records.

· Actual work hours, late arrivals, absences, and overtime are calculated.

· This data is used by the payroll system to generate accurate salaries.

· Reports and analyses on attendance are easily generated.

· Large Company: Uses smart fingerprint devices to send attendance data directly to Odoo for updating employee schedules and payroll.

· Factory or Workshop: Tracks workers’ hours accurately and links them to their payments.

· Offices and Service Companies: Enable smooth employee access with full integration to HR.
