Zaffre HRM is an all-in-one HR and operations software platform by Zaffre Tech. It unifies HR, payroll, attendance, leave, remote-work monitoring, procurement, petty cash, project management, helpdesk and secure client communication in one connected system. Its standout feature is a dual payroll engine that runs local (PKR) and remittance (foreign currency) salaries in a single payroll run.

Who is Zaffre HRM for?

Small businesses, startups and growing companies of 5 to a few hundred employees — particularly those that have outgrown spreadsheets and disconnected SaaS tools. Strong fit for Pakistan-based companies and any team paying employees in multiple currencies.

What makes Zaffre HRM different from other HR and HCM platforms?

Most HR platforms cover HR and payroll well but leave operations (procurement, petty cash, projects, helpdesk, remote monitoring, client communication) to other tools. Zaffre HRM includes those natively and links every module together — a leave approval updates attendance and payroll, an employee exit triggers asset recovery and final settlement, and a client onboarding flows into billing. It also has a market-unique dual payroll engine.

Does Zaffre HRM support payroll in multiple currencies?

Yes. The dual payroll engine runs local-currency (PKR) salaries and remittance-currency (foreign) salaries together in a single payroll cycle — this is the platform's signature feature and is rare in the market.

Does Zaffre HRM include remote employee monitoring?

Yes, natively. A Tauri-based desktop agent captures login/logout, active hours, application and website usage, and periodic screenshots, and powers productivity-based attendance. It is not a third-party add-on.

Does Zaffre HRM have a mobile app?

Yes — a companion mobile app (Expo / React Native) for attendance, leave, payslips, chat and approvals, with real-time push notifications via FCM.

How is Zaffre HRM priced?

Transparent per-employee, per-module monthly pricing. Modules can be turned on or off per company. Designed to be cheaper in aggregate than the 6+ tools it replaces.

Where is Zaffre HRM based?

Zaffre Tech, the company behind Zaffre HRM, is headquartered in Pakistan and serves customers globally — with strong adoption in Pakistan, UAE and Saudi Arabia.

Face Recognition Attendance Software — Web, Mobile, Desktop

Attendance fraud — buddy punching, ghost employees, manipulated biometric logs — costs companies real money every month. The traditional fix is to buy a fingerprint or face-recognition device for every entry point. That is expensive, breaks in factories, fails in hospitality, and is useless for the remote / hybrid workforce.

Zaffre HRM now ships face recognition attendance natively across all three platforms — the web app, the mobile app (Android and iOS) and the native desktop application — so every employee can mark attendance with just their face on whatever device they already use. No biometric hardware to buy, no third-party SDK to license.

Why face recognition (and why built-in matters)

Face is the only biometric that is contactless, works in seconds, and is supported by every camera your employees already carry (laptop webcam, phone front camera, desktop monitor). PIN-based check-in can be shared. Card-based check-in can be loaned out. Fingerprint readers require hardware at every location. Face recognition — done right — solves all three at once.

What companies usually do wrong: they bolt on a third-party face-recognition SDK or device, then try to reconcile its logs with their HR system at payroll time. Logs get out of sync, devices go offline, employees claim "the camera didn’t see me", and finance ends up arbitrating disputes.

Zaffre HRM’s face recognition lives inside the attendance module — the same one that talks to payroll, leave, shift rules, penalty engine and reporting. The moment a face is recognised, the attendance event is final and flows through every downstream module automatically.

Works on all three platforms

1. Web app

Employees check in directly from their browser using the laptop webcam. Useful for office-floor kiosk attendance (a single tablet at reception), and for desk-based staff who don’t want to install anything. The browser receives a one-time capture token, runs the recognition, and writes the attendance event server-side — no images are stored locally on the kiosk.

2. Mobile app (Android + iOS)

The companion Zaffre HRM mobile app supports face check-in / check-out with optional geo and IP restrictions. Perfect for:

Field staff (sales, service, NGO field workers) who don’t come into an office
Multi-site companies (retail, hospitality) where employees move between locations
Hybrid teams that want the same biometric rigour whether at home or in the office

Push notifications via FCM confirm the check-in instantly, and the manager sees it in real time.

3. Desktop app

The native Tauri-based desktop app already powers Zaffre HRM’s remote-work monitoring. Face recognition slots in directly: an employee opens the desktop app at the start of the day, the camera captures the face, and attendance is logged in the same pipeline as the productivity / activity data already being captured. One app, one source of truth.

Anti-spoofing — a printed photo will not work

Cheap face-recognition implementations can be fooled by holding up a photo or a phone screen with someone’s picture. Zaffre HRM’s implementation includes a liveness check:

Multi-frame motion analysis (genuine faces move; photos don’t)
Depth and texture signals (paper has different reflectance than skin)
Random micro-prompts (small head movement requested at registration)

Combined with geo restrictions, IP whitelisting and device binding, this makes buddy punching extremely difficult.

Privacy and storage

The system stores face embeddings — a numerical vector that represents the face — not raw photos. Embeddings cannot be reverse-engineered into a usable picture. Employees can re-enrol if their appearance changes (glasses, beard, weight) and the old embedding is overwritten. Companies remain in full control of the data; nothing leaves the Zaffre HRM tenant.

Where face recognition attendance shines

Manufacturing — replace fingerprint readers at multiple gates with a tablet running the web kiosk. Cheaper, hygienic, no shared touch surface.
Healthcare — contactless attendance for clinical staff who can’t touch surfaces between patients.
Retail and hospitality — high-turnover staff don’t need to be issued cards or trained on a device — they enrol in 30 seconds and check in from their phone.
IT services and remote-first teams — desktop and mobile check-in keeps remote employees on the same attendance pipeline as on-site staff, with no extra hardware.
NGOs and field teams — mobile face check-in with geo restriction proves field presence without trusting honour-system check-ins.

What it connects to (because it is built-in)

Attendance feeds payroll automatically — face-verified hours become paid hours without an export
Leave deductions, late penalties and overtime calculations all use the same attendance events
Shift planning sees who actually checked in and adjusts the next day’s plan
Reports and dashboards show face-recognition attendance alongside biometric / web attendance with the same drill-downs
The audit trail records who marked which attendance, from which device, at what location — useful for compliance reviews and dispute resolution

How to enable it

For existing Zaffre HRM customers, face recognition attendance is available now — switch it on per company from the admin console, and your employees will be prompted to enrol the next time they open the web, mobile or desktop app. For new customers, it is included in the Attendance module by default.

If you are evaluating Zaffre HRM, book a demo and we’ll walk you through face recognition attendance on a sandbox tenant pre-loaded with sample employees — across all three platforms.

The short version

Face recognition attendance solves buddy punching and remote attendance fraud in one move. Most HR platforms either don’t have it, charge for it as a separate module, or expect you to integrate a third-party tool. Zaffre HRM’s is built in, works on web + mobile + desktop, includes liveness detection, stores embeddings (not photos), and flows directly into payroll, leave, penalty rules and 360° reporting — like every other module in the platform.
