First off, I take it the USP is the finger print ID thing ?

Otherwise I cant see what this does - theres a thing on the wall about 20 metres from my office at the moment that staff swipe their ID card past - and that links direct to accounts etc to book them on and off shift.

In this case - no one gets paid anymore if they swipe in early or even stay later - they have designated shifts to work.

If someone swipes in late or swipes out early it goes to HR for them to investigate as per any normal business where people arrive late for work etc.

Everyone has to swipe out, and if you go outside into the corridor near the end of a shift you find a big queue of people waiting for the clock off time to swipe their cards - starts to build up from around 10 minutes before shift end.

So on a practical level I cant see what the new idea is ?

Sadly for your business, I also think you are about 30 to 40 years late - something that docks 2.5 minutes from your wages might have been ok in the 70's - but (thankfully) we have moved on from then.

That said - Im sure there is a market for something like this - most things have a market somewhere !

Oh - and in passing - always keep in mind that your greatest future customer could be reading this very thread - and project yourself accordingly.

All the best
