Bring your people
Import your whole roster from an Excel sheet — codes, names, designations, departments — mapped to your shifts in one pass. No re-typing a workforce by hand.
Excel roster import
Biometric attendance, run on-site
Attendance that survives real shifts — and real migrations.
Pouint reads punches straight from the eSSL and ZKTeco readers you already own and turns them into correct attendance — including the overnight, 24-hour, and split shifts most software gets wrong. Switch off your old system and keep your people, your history, and your reports. No cloud required.
Works with the eSSL & ZKTeco readers you already own · Runs on Windows & Linux · No cloud required
One timeline. Every shift you actually run.
Live shift model
The problem
Attendance software built for 9-to-5 breaks on real shifts.
Most attendance tools assume everyone clocks in and out inside the same calendar day. The moment a shift crosses midnight, runs around the clock, or splits in two, the math falls apart — and someone has to fix it by hand every single day.
▲
A guard's shift ends at 06:00, past midnight.
Most attendance tools log it as an absence, or two broken half-days.
▲
A security post runs a full 24-hour shift.
There's no clean in/out pair to compute — so hours get guessed at.
▲
A restaurant runs a split shift: lunch, break, dinner.
The system sees four random punches instead of one shift.
▲
Every client site got its own one-off punch-reading script.
Five sites, five codebases, and nobody wants to be on call for any of them.
How it works
One flow, entirely on your site.
No middleman cloud service standing between a punch and your records. Two small programs do the whole job, running on hardware you already control.
- STEP 01
Your fingerprint devices
Employees punch in and out on the eSSL or ZKTeco readers already installed at your site. Nothing new to fit.
- STEP 02
Pouint Agent
A lightweight program reads punches straight off every device and pushes them to the attendance app — one consistent codebase, not a one-off script per client.
- STEP 03
Pouint Attendance
Receives the punches, manages employees and shifts, computes attendance, and turns it into reports you can act on.
Migration parity
Moving off your old software? Lose nothing.
Switching attendance systems usually means re-enrolling everyone, starting your records from zero, and rebuilding the reports payroll depends on. Pouint is built so you carry all three across — your people, your history, and your reports — and pick up exactly where you left off.
Bring your history
Import the punch history your old system already holds. Pouint backfills attendance for the pre-Pouint period, so day one isn't a blank slate.
Excel punch import
Keep your reports
Pouint reproduces the equipment-wise punch report you hand to payroll today — same columns, same layout — so nothing downstream has to change.
Same report, same format
The result: a switch your team barely feels. The same people punch the same readers, payroll gets the same report — Pouint's engine just runs underneath, getting the hard shifts right.
The shift engine
Shifts, modeled the way your business actually runs.
This is the part most attendance software avoids. Pouint's engine treats overnight, 24-hour, and split shifts as first-class shift types — not edge cases bolted on afterward — so a punch at 05:47 still lands in the right shift, every time.

Built for the day-to-day
The details that keep records honest.
Excel roster import
Bring your whole workforce in from a spreadsheet — map codes, names, designations, and departments to your shifts in one pass.
Device enrollment
Pull enrolled users straight off each reader and map them to employee records — no re-typing rosters by hand.
Excel punch import
Load the punch history your old system holds. Attendance and reports backfill for the period before Pouint.
Reports that match yours
The equipment-wise punch report your payroll already uses, plus muster, register, and overtime — export to XLSX or PDF.
One-file device pairing
Connect the Agent to Attendance by importing a single file — no hand-copying server addresses or keys between machines.
Idempotent sync
The same punch can arrive twice without ever being counted twice. Sync is safe to retry, always.
Offline by design
Runs through patchy site connectivity and syncs a device's full backlog on reconnect — without choking or dropping punches.
Overtime & compliance
Overtime, weekly-offs, and shift-compliance computed from real punches — ready to hand to payroll.
Access control

The products
Two small programs. One job each.
Pouint Agent
Reads the devices, feeds the app
A lightweight background program that talks to every fingerprint device on-site and relays punches to Pouint Attendance in real time.
- One consistent codebase across every install — not a patched-together script per client
- Runs quietly in the background, on Windows and Linux
- Recovers cleanly after a dropped connection or a restarted device
Pouint Attendance
The full attendance system
The standalone app your team actually opens: employees, shifts, devices, and reports, all in one place.
- Employee records, shift assignment, and rotation cycles
- Device enrollment — pull enrolled users straight off the reader and map them to employees
- Attendance computation, overtime, and exportable reports
Both ship together as one on-site deployment.Book a demo →
Runs where you do
On-site by default. Offline by design.
Pouint runs as a desktop app on a machine already sitting near your devices. No mandatory cloud step, no data leaving the building unless you decide to move it.
- No mandatory cloud — data stays on the machine you run it on
- Works through patchy or intermittent site connectivity
- Agent and Attendance run side by side on the same box, or split across two
