Palm Vein Scan Time Clock for Time Tracking Software
Your customers face increasing pressure to improve time tracking accuracy and security while cutting administrative costs. Biometric hand scanners seem like a possible option, but they come with a drawback: They require employees to press their full palm on a shared scan plate, creating hygiene issues.
Palm vein scanners, like our Only|You Palm for the stride80 time clock, offer advanced biometric technology that improves security and a touchless verification experience that minimizes physical contact with the time clock.
How Does Only|You Palm Vein Scanner Work?
The Only|You Palm vein scanner is an optional device that connects to Accu-Time Systems (ATS’s) stride80 time clock. It uses sophisticated palm vein technology that scans below the surface of the skin, for superior biometric authentication accuracy.
Unlike typical hand or palm scanners, employees don’t need to place a palm on vein scanner. Instead, they raise their hand in front of the palm vein scanning module (PVR) for a touchless authentication process. Within seconds, the Only|You Palm will authenticate the user.

Palm Vein Technology Provides Most Secure Biometric Option
Not all biometric scanners provide the same level of protection. Some are vulnerable to spoofing attacks, where bad actors use images or three-dimensional hand replicas to fool the system. Successful breaches undermine payroll accuracy and expose your customers to costly time theft fraud.
Palm vein scanners eliminate these risks by looking under the skin to identify the unique characteristics of vein patterns. This blocks spoofing attempts, protecting your customers’ payroll from time theft, improving payroll accuracy.
With this level of security, your customers can be confident they’re paying only for employees who are at work.
Health Benefits of a Touchless Vein Scanner
In environments where hygiene is critical, such as healthcare, reducing unnecessary physical contact on shared devices is essential to maintaining a healthy workplace. Requiring employees to clock-in on a web-based platform can increase the spread of diseases in the workplace.
Touchless palm vein identification at the clock is a cleaner, safer alternative. It greatly minimizes the need for employees to touch the clock. The stride80 with Only|You Palm only requires a simple fingertip press on screen to select clock in or out. This low-contact approach keeps your customers’ employees safe and productive.
Palm Vein Identification Time Clocks Cut Costs
Managing badges and fobs for time clock identification can be costly and time-consuming. Distributing and replacing them adds unnecessary overhead for your customers.
Switching to a palm vein scan time clock that authenticates employees through identification, rather than verification, can dramatically reduce these expenses and hassles.
Two Biometric Options: Identification and Verification
Biometric authentication can happen through either an identification or verification process. You as the software supplier can configure your stride80 time clocks to work in either options.
- Verification requires employees to identify themselves at the clock with a badge or similar method. The biometric software then selects the template associated with that employee to compare against the real-time biometric scan.
- Identification doesn’t require any secondary identification method like a badge or fob. The biometric software does the real-time scan and then searches its template database for a match.
The Only|You Palm software uses the identification method. It’s a fast, accurate, cost-efficient means for employees to clock in and out. Employees place a hand in front of the palm vein scanner and software identifies which template it matches.
Identification Leads to Cost Savings
Because Only|You Palm uses palm vein identification technology, employees don’t need another credential, like a badge or fob, to clock in. Without having to buy and manage an employee credentials program, your customers will enjoy significant cost and time savings by drastically reducing credential management.
No biometric time clock can eliminate the need for some credentials since it’s bad practice to require employees to participate in biometric time tracking. In some jurisdictions, it’s illegal for employers not to allow employees to opt out of biometric programs. The best practice for employers is always to get affirmative consent from employees, but that means some may not consent.
The employee-friendly Only|You Palm vein scanner is fast and easy to use, saving your customers money, time, and headaches managing credentials for every employee.
Easily Integrating Only|You Palm Scanner with Your Solution
Your company has several flexible options for integrating Only|You Palm into your solution and your sales strategy. With each approach, you get our software development kits that makes integrating the stride80 time clock and Only|You Palm Vein Recognition a very easy process.
Hardware Only: Only|You Palm + the stride80
This option includes the time clock hardware, the stride80, giving your company full control over the time collection software it runs. You are in control of:
- Your own Android-based time tracking software on the stride80.
- build the integration between our palm vein scan software and your time tracking software on the stride80.
This approach is ideal for companies with the time and resources in-house to develop time tracking software.
Only|You Palm + stride80 + TimeCollect
For companies that want a quick entry into the biometric time tracking market, this option includes ATS’s time collection software for the clock, TimeCollect. Our TimeCollect software already integrated with the stride80 and Only|You Palm.
Your development team only needs to build the integration between TimeCollect and your solution, using the SDK and our support.
AccuCloud with Only|You Palm + stride80
AccuCloud is our complete cloud-based solution that includes all the ATS hardware and software of the other solutions, plus monitoring tools that make scaling sales and management of stride80 clocks with palm vein scan technology easy and profitable.
ATS hosts the middleware that helps your teams manage all your customer deployments, including managing the distribution of biometric templates and using software over the air (SOTA) to keep all deployed clocks running the most recent software and security patches.
Unlocking Sales Opportunities with ATS’s Palm Vein Scanning Clock
The Only|You Palm vein scan clock is a cutting-edge time tracking solution that meets a growing demand for secure, efficient, and hygienic employee attendance management.
Offering this technology positions you as an innovator, providing your customers with a valuable, proven tool for accurate, low-maintenance time tracking.
