Project Overview
Accurate Engineering Co. Pvt. Ltd. is a Pune-based precision engineering manufacturer operating across two locations — Hadapsar Industrial Estate and Jejuri, Pune. With a growing workforce spread across two plants and multiple shifts, the company identified a critical need for reliable, centralised attendance software for employees that could eliminate manual register errors and give real-time attendance visibility to management.
ESSL Pune was selected as the implementation partner to deploy a complete face recognition attendance system integrated with the iSecure web-based attendance software and the iTime Android attendance app for employee self-service — covering both plant locations under a unified platform.
About Accurate Engineering Co. Pvt. Ltd.
Accurate Engineering Co. Pvt. Ltd. is a trusted name in precision component manufacturing, serving industries such as automotive, defence, and general engineering. With production facilities at Hadapsar Industrial Estate and Jejuri, the company employs a significant workforce operating across general and rotational shifts.
As the workforce grew, managing attendance through traditional punch cards and manual registers across two geographically separate locations became increasingly difficult and error-prone. The company needed modern attendance software for employees that would work seamlessly across both sites and empower employees with self-service capabilities.
Challenges Before Implementation
Prior to deploying the automated employee attendance software, Accurate Engineering faced a range of operational and HR challenges:
Face Recognition Attendance Software for Employees
ESSL Pune deployed an end-to-end attendance software solution for employees comprising three integrated components: ESSL face recognition hardware terminals at both plant locations, the iSecure web-based attendance platform for central management, and the iTime Android attendance app for employee and manager self-service.
- Multi-location dashboard (Hadapsar + Jejuri)
- Shift roster and scheduling management
- Real-time attendance monitoring and alerts
- Leave management with approval workflows
- Overtime calculation and reporting
- Detailed employee attendance reports
- Payroll-ready data export
- Role-based access for HR, managers, admin
- View daily attendance punches on mobile
- Apply for leave directly from the app
- Manager approves or adds remarks on requests
- Check overtime hours accumulated
- View leave balance and attendance history
- Push notifications for approvals and alerts
- No HR desk visit required for routine queries
- Available 24/7 from any Android smartphone
How the Attendance Software Works
The attendance software for employees at Accurate Engineering follows a seamless digital workflow — from entry-gate biometric capture all the way to payroll-ready reports:
Biometric Punch at Factory Gate
At shift start, the employee stands in front of the ESSL face recognition terminal at the plant entrance. The device identifies them in under 2 seconds and logs an IN punch with a timestamp.
Data Syncs to iSecure Platform
Punch data from both Hadapsar and Jejuri terminals syncs automatically to the iSecure web-based attendance software in real time — giving HR a single, unified view across both plants.
Employee Checks Attendance on iTime App
The employee opens the iTime Android attendance app and views their IN/OUT punches, current shift status, leave balance, and accumulated overtime hours — without contacting HR.
Leave Application via iTime App
When an employee needs leave, they submit the request through iTime — selecting leave type, date, and reason. The system routes the request to the designated manager instantly.
Manager Approves or Adds Remark
The manager receives a push notification on their iTime app, reviews the request, and approves or adds a remark with one tap. The employee is notified instantly — no paper forms, no email chains.
Reports and Payroll Export
HR generates daily, shift-wise, and monthly attendance reports from iSecure. Overtime, late marks, absences, and leave records are compiled automatically and exported for payroll processing.
With ESSL Pune's attendance software, our employees can now check their own punches and apply for leave right from their phones. It has saved our HR team hours every week. The face recognition system has eliminated proxy attendance completely across both our Hadapsar and Jejuri plants.— HR Head, Accurate Engineering Co. Pvt. Ltd., Pune
Results & Key Benefits
Following the full deployment of the attendance software for employees at both plant locations, Accurate Engineering experienced measurable improvements in HR efficiency, payroll accuracy, and employee satisfaction:
- ✓Unified attendance across two locations — Hadapsar and Jejuri plant data managed from a single iSecure dashboard, eliminating disconnected records.
- ✓Zero proxy attendance — ESSL face recognition ensures only the actual employee can mark attendance; buddy punching eliminated entirely.
- ✓Paperless leave management — employees apply for leave on iTime, managers approve on the app; no physical forms or email threads needed.
- ✓Overtime visibility for employees — daily and weekly overtime tracked automatically and viewable on the iTime app, reducing disputes.
- ✓HR time savings — routine attendance queries reduced significantly as employees access their own data 24/7 via iTime.
- ✓Faster, accurate payroll — iSecure exports payroll-ready attendance data monthly, cutting manual reconciliation time drastically.
- ✓Manager productivity improved — leave approvals handled in seconds from the app, with all decisions recorded digitally.
- ✓Scalable for future growth — iSecure and iTime accommodate additional locations or employees without infrastructure changes.
