Smart Attendance System

AI-Powered Face Recognition Attendance Solution

Problem Statement

Traditional attendance systems such as manual registers, ID cards, and fingerprint scanners are time-consuming, error-prone, and vulnerable to proxy attendance. Organizations need a fast, accurate, and contactless attendance solution.
