Managing Entry Control and Shift Attendance Across 5 City Depots Without a Unified System
Kailash Vahn Private Limited operates a fleet and logistics business with depots across Alandi and Pune in Maharashtra, and major city hubs in Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Chennai. With hundreds of drivers, loaders, and administrative staff across multiple cities, the company faced serious challenges in tracking attendance at depot gates and managing field staff who never sit at a desk.
No Gate Control at Depots
Staff entry and exit at depot gates was uncontrolled — no physical barrier meant buddy punching and unauthorized entry were common problems.
Field Staff Off-Site
Drivers and field staff rarely visit the office — they needed an attendance app on their phone, not a fixed biometric device.
Five Cities, Zero Central Visibility
Each city depot operated independently. There was no consolidated view of who was present or absent across the entire company.
Shift Complexity
Transport operations run across early, day, and night shifts — manual shift allocation was generating errors and overtime disputes.
"We needed a turnstile at the gate for our depot workers and a phone app for our drivers — both feeding into one system."
— Operations Manager, Kailash Vahn Private LimitedESSL Tripod Turnstile + AIFACE ERIS Face Recognition + Mobile Attendance App
Cybernetics designed a two-layer attendance architecture for Kailash Vahn: physical tripod turnstile gates with ESSL AIFACE ERIS face recognition at each depot, combined with a mobile attendance app for field and driver staff — all feeding into a single centralized attendance platform.
ESSL Tripod Turnstile gates installed at all depot entry points
Each depot received ESSL tripod turnstile gates at the main entry. Staff must present their face or RFID card to pass through — eliminating tailgating, buddy punching, and unauthorized access at gates.
ESSL AIFACE ERIS face recognition units mounted at turnstiles
The AIFACE ERIS AI face recognition devices were mounted at each turnstile, providing fast (under 1 second), mask-aware face identification that feeds the attendance punch directly to the central platform.
Mobile attendance app deployed for drivers and field staff
Field staff and drivers received the mobile attendance app on their smartphones. GPS-tagged punches let management verify that field attendance is being marked from the correct location or route.
Centralized dashboard configured for 5-city visibility
All data — from turnstile gates in Alandi to mobile punches in Chennai — flows into one centralized dashboard. Management can filter by city, depot, shift, or employee from any browser.
Hardware — Physical Access Control
ESSL Tripod Turnstile Gate — Controlled Entry for Depot Workers
The ESSL tripod turnstile provides a physical one-person-at-a-time entry barrier, integrated directly with the attendance system. Each passage is logged as an attendance event — no separate card swipe needed.
Hardware — Face Recognition
ESSL AIFACE ERIS — AI Face Recognition for Shift Workers
The AIFACE ERIS uses deep-learning AI for fast, accurate face recognition even with masks. Its liveness detection prevents photo spoofing — essential for multi-shift depot environments.

Why Combining Turnstile Gates with a Mobile Attendance App Is the Complete Solution for Transport Businesses
Transport and logistics companies have two types of workers with very different needs — depot-based staff who need gate control, and field staff who need mobile check-in. One system covers both.
Physical Gate Control
A tripod turnstile ensures one authenticated person enters at a time — ending tailgating and buddy punching at busy depot gates.
No Phone App Needed for Depot Workers
Turnstile-integrated face recognition means depot workers just walk through the gate — their attendance is logged automatically.
Mobile App for Drivers
Drivers and field staff mark attendance from their phone. GPS verification confirms they are at the right location when they punch.
One Dashboard for All Cities
All gate punches and mobile punches appear in one centralized dashboard — management can compare city-by-city performance instantly.
Shift Automation
Shift allocations, night-shift premiums, and overtime calculations are handled automatically for all depot and field staff.
Payroll Integration Ready
The centralized platform integrates with standard Indian payroll and HRMS software — attendance flows straight into salary processing.
