Explore attendance terminals, face recognition and fingerprint devices, access controllers, readers, entrance control equipment, POS terminals, scanners, receipt printers and management software. Start with physical security, POS systems or ZKTeco software, then confirm the model and variant for your project.

Share the model, quantity and your installation requirements. Ask for a quotation in KES that identifies hardware, licences, accessories, delivery and project services. The proposal should state taxes, lead time, warranty and any recurring costs. Current prices and stock must be confirmed for your enquiry.

Call the Westlands or CBD branch to arrange a visit. Tell the team which device or software platform you would like to discuss and ask whether a demonstration can be arranged. Confirm the appointment and model availability before travelling.

Time attendance records employee clock-in and clock-out activity for attendance reporting. Access control manages permission to enter a door or restricted area. Some terminals can support both uses, but locks, wiring, controllers and software must be selected for the intended system.

Choose according to staff workflow, user numbers, installation conditions and the verification method you want. Fingerprint terminals use a finger scan; face recognition can provide contactless verification. Confirm the exact model, capacity, connection options and supported software rather than assuming every terminal has the same features.

The design may require a suitable lock, reader or terminal, controller, exit device, door sensor, power supply, cabling and management software. Share the door count and layout so the equipment can be checked together, including how people enter and leave each controlled area.

Connectivity depends on the device and deployment. A local network installation and a remotely hosted platform have different communication requirements. Confirm supported interfaces, offline record handling, device communication settings and software connectivity for the exact model and firmware.

ZKBio Time, often called BioTime, is a web-based time and attendance platform for compatible ZKTeco push communication devices. It supports timetable, shift and schedule management and attendance reports. Check the version, device compatibility and licence limits for your deployment. View BioTime information.

BioTime focuses on attendance workflows and reporting. ZKBio CVSecurity is a web-based physical security management platform. Choose according to the workflow you need, then confirm supported devices, modules and licences. Read about ZKBio CVSecurity.

Obtain the installer and deployment guide for the version you are purchasing from ZKTeco or your supplier. Check that guide for supported operating systems, database configuration, server resources and licence requirements. Configure company settings, administrator access, employee identifiers and attendance rules, then test communication and sample reports with supported devices. Follow the guide for your version rather than applying requirements from an older release.

Integration must be assessed for the specific device, firmware, attendance software and HR or payroll platform. Share the employee fields, reports, file formats or API documentation needed for the data exchange. Confirm the supported integration route, licences and reconciliation checks in the project scope.

Ask for an integration assessment using your exact BioTime version, supported data interfaces and the messaging service you intend to use. Define the events, recipients and message content. Any connector, service charges and implementation should be included in the project scope; do not assume a standard BioTime installation includes WhatsApp messaging.

First check which notification functions are supported by your BioTime version. Use that version�s guide to configure the approved mail server, sender account, recipients and available notification rules. Confirm authentication and connection requirements with your email provider, then test a message and a sample event before enabling notifications for all users.

Check employee identifiers, device clock settings, time zone, record synchronisation, shifts and attendance rules. Compare a small sample of device transactions with the report to identify where the result differs. Keep a backup and share the device model, software version and a dated example when requesting support.

Record the device model and firmware, software version, connection method and the error shown. Verify the device�s network settings and the software communication configuration against the deployment guide. Share whether the problem affects one device or all devices, and when communication last worked.

Share the town or county, site layout and your preferred schedule with the Nairobi team. Ask for delivery, installation, commissioning and administrator training to be included where required. The team should confirm availability, travel costs, timing and support arrangements for your location in the proposal.

Ask for the written warranty and support terms for the exact hardware, software and project services in your quotation. Confirm the coverage period, exclusions, repair process, licence support and any ongoing charges. Hardware warranty and installation or software support should be identified separately.
