A premier luxury resort located on an artificial island in Dubai, offering world-class accommodations, dining, and entertainment. Renowned for its lavish amenities and impeccable service, the resort is a preferred destination for visitors worldwide seeking an unforgettable experience.

Overview:

The resort faced challenges in managing time and attendance across multiple geographically dispersed locations. The lack of a centralized attendance solution, combined with the slow identification speed of existing palm vein systems, resulted in difficulties tracking employee attendance. Additionally, seamless integration with their current HRMS and payroll systems was a significant concern.

Challenges:

  1. Multiple Brands Across Locations: Managing attendance across different locations required a centralized system for unified management.

  2. Lack of Centralized Attendance Solution: The absence of a centralized attendance system made monitoring and managing employee attendance difficult.

  3. Slow Identification with Palm Vein Technology: The existing palm vein technology caused delays and inaccuracies in attendance records.

  4. Complex Database Integration with HRMS: Integrating attendance data with the resort's HRMS was challenging due to different systems and multiple database integrations.

  5. Payroll Integration: A seamless integration was needed between attendance records and payroll systems for accurate salary processing.

Solution:

Matrix implemented a comprehensive face recognition time-attendance system, addressing these challenges:

  1. Centralized Time Attendance Management: The COSEC CENTRA on-premise solution managed attendance across multiple locations, with COSEC ARGO FACE devices tracking attendance efficiently.

  2. Seamless Integration with HRMS & Payroll: Matrix enabled smooth HRMS integration, ensuring accurate attendance data capture and payroll processing.

  3. Faster Identification with Face Recognition: The advanced face recognition system improved the speed and accuracy of attendance marking, identifying users in less than 0.5 seconds.

  4. Contactless Face Recognition with BluetoothⓇ: The contactless solution enhanced hygiene, safety, and efficiency in attendance tracking through the COSEC ACS mobile app.
