Fingerprint & Biometric Attendance System Software for Sri Lanka
Most Sri Lankan businesses buy a fingerprint machine, mount it by the door, and then spend hours every month exporting punches to Excel and matching them against salaries by hand. Humanised removes that second half: it is the attendance software layer that connects your fingerprint, face-recognition, or RFID device directly to shifts, overtime, no-pay, and payroll — so the machine at the door runs your salary calculations for you.
Works with the biometric devices Sri Lankan offices already use
Humanised integrates out of the box with ZKTeco and HikVision terminals — the two most widely installed biometric brands in Sri Lanka — including fingerprint scanners, face-recognition terminals, and RFID card readers. Check-in and check-out events sync automatically into Humanised, where they are reconciled against each employee’s shift, overtime rules, and leave records.
Using another brand? Upload the attendance file your device generates and Humanised processes it the same way. And you never need to replace hardware you already own — we plug into your existing machines as-is.
From fingerprint punch to payslip, automatically
- Employee clocks in on the fingerprint or face-recognition terminal (or via GPS check-in on the Humanised mobile app for field and remote staff).
- Punches sync to Humanised, which matches them to rosters — including night shifts that cross midnight, half days, and Poya and mercantile holidays.
- OT, late minutes, and no-pay are calculated according to your company policy and Sri Lankan labour rules.
- Payroll picks it all up — approved hours flow straight into the monthly pay run with EPF, ETF, and APIT handled automatically.
The result: no more downloading text files from the machine, no more manual OT spreadsheets, and no more disputes about who was late on the 14th — the record is right there, synced and auditable.
Choosing a fingerprint machine in Sri Lanka: a quick buyer’s note
If you haven’t bought a device yet, entry-level fingerprint terminals such as the ZKTeco K14 typically sell in Sri Lanka for around LKR 15,000–40,000, while face-recognition and access-control models range higher. For current model-by-model pricing, see our fingerprint machine price guide for Sri Lanka. Whichever device you choose, the machine only records punches — the value comes from the software that turns those punches into accurate salaries. Buy any ZKTeco or HikVision model and Humanised will handle the rest; for other brands, confirm the device can export its attendance log as a file.
More than a biometric log
- Shift & roster management — overnight factory shifts, hybrid schedules, and rest-day rules handled without “missing punch” errors.
- Mobile & GPS attendance — field teams and remote staff clock in from the employee app; site-based staff use the terminal.
- Attendance reports — daily, weekly, and monthly summaries by employee, team, or location, exportable to Excel.
- Full HR platform when you need it — leave, digital contracts, expenses, and payroll software built for Sri Lanka on the same system.

Frequently asked questions
How do I set up fingerprint attendance with Humanised?
Connect your ZKTeco or HikVision device once during onboarding — our team guides you through it. Punches then sync automatically. For other brands, you upload the device’s attendance file and Humanised processes it. Most companies are fully live within a day.
What is the price of a fingerprint attendance machine in Sri Lanka?
Entry-level fingerprint terminals typically cost around LKR 15,000–40,000 in Sri Lanka, with face-recognition and access-control models above that. The Humanised software that automates attendance and payroll on top of the device starts at LKR 10,000 per month.
Which fingerprint machines work with Humanised?
ZKTeco and HikVision devices — fingerprint, face-recognition, and RFID — integrate directly. Any other machine that exports an attendance log file can be used via file upload.
Can I use face recognition instead of fingerprints?
Yes. Face-recognition terminals from ZKTeco and HikVision are fully supported, and many Sri Lankan workplaces prefer them for hygiene and speed. GPS-based mobile check-in is also available for staff who work off-site.
Does the biometric attendance data flow into payroll automatically?
Yes. Once hours, overtime, and leave are approved, they sync into the monthly pay run automatically — including OT rates, late deductions, and no-pay — with EPF, ETF, and APIT calculated for you.
