Attendance systems for ADGM businesses

ADGM is Abu Dhabi's regulated financial free zone on Al Maryah Island, operating under English common law and FSRA supervision. Every tenant is a bank, asset manager, family office, law firm, or professional-services provider held to strict staff-record standards. We size the solution to what actually happens on the ground: the tenant mix, the shift patterns, the building constraints and the free-zone or audit rules that apply. No one-size bundle for a zone this specific.

What we deliver across ADGM

Every service delivered locally by our team, no subcontractors.

Biometric terminals supplied and installed

Suprema and ZKTeco fingerprint, face and palm terminals installed at your ADGM office, warehouse or site. Free site survey covers cabling, mounting and headcount.

Time attendance software

Cloud or on-premise, with shift rules, overtime, WPS-ready payroll export and multi-branch consolidation.

WPS-ready payroll export

Worked hours, overtime and absences in a format your payroll and WPS SIF process consumes. We test the export against a live payroll run at handover.

Access control on the same terminal

Attendance and door-open in a single tap. Split access for executives, server rooms and stock rooms.

Multi-branch consolidation

Terminals across ADGM and the rest of Abu Dhabi reporting into one central database. Head office sees everything; each branch manager sees only their team.

Fast local support

Support engineers based in Abu Dhabi. Remote response within 2 working hours; on-site engineers dispatched to ADGM the same day.

Typical ADGM businesses we serve

Examples we run into every week, with the setup we typically propose.

Banks and asset managers

Suprema face terminals at each floor's secure entry. Trading floor on a dedicated access group with hard clock-in/out. Records retained ten years to satisfy FSRA supervision.

Family offices and wealth management

Low-headcount, high-discretion clients. On-premise install with no cloud dependency; records held on your own server, encrypted at rest.

International law firms

Silent face terminals at partner suites. Billable-hour-friendly report export flows into your matter management system without manual transcription.

Fintech and digital-asset firms

Modern REST API into your identity provider. SSO for HR admins. Attendance events streamed to your data warehouse.

Sovereign wealth and investment offices

On-premise install with air-gapped option, tamper-evident records with dual-approval for sensitive access.

Big Four and top-tier consulting

Consultants at client sites clock in via the mobile app with GPS. Office staff on face terminals. One payroll export reconciles both against project codes.

ADGM attendance system questions

Do your systems meet FSRA record-retention requirements?

Yes. Attendance events are stored with a tamper-evident hash chain and retained for ten years by default, matching FSRA supervisory requirements. Export is CSV or PDF, timestamped and signed. Longer retention available on request.

Can we deploy fully on-premise inside ADGM?

Yes. Server runs on your Windows Server or Linux VM inside the ADGM network, with no outbound cloud connection required. Every device is discovered by your IT team on your own subnet.

Which terminals do you recommend for ADGM firms?

Suprema BioStation 3 or BioEntry W3 as the default. Both use CC EAL6+ certified secure elements and match any bank IT security review. ZKTeco is available where fit-out or budget requires it.

Is the export WPS-compliant?

Yes. The software exports worked hours, overtime and absences in a format your payroll and WPS SIF process consumes. We test the export against a live payroll run at handover, before the team leaves.

Which hardware brands do you supply?

We are an authorised supplier for Suprema (South Korea) and ZKTeco (China). Suprema is our default for enterprise and regulated environments; ZKTeco for cost-sensitive and volume rollouts.
