Your presence counts, wherever you work.
With Idenua your staff clocks in from their phone —with Face ID, selfie and location— or on a fingerprint and facial time clock. You see it all in one dashboard, with reports and Excel export. And if you use Odoo, the clock-ins arrive on their own.
Annual plan · App $250 per 100 employees · Time clocks from $199 · VAT not included
Meets the 2027 law requirements
Starting January 1, 2027, every company must electronically record each worker's workday (art. 132, sec. XXXIV of the LFT). With Idenua you already meet what the law requires:
The final technical details will be set by the STPS in general provisions; Idenua updates to comply with them. This information is for guidance only and is not legal advice.
Not everyone works the same way: some come into the plant and others work from home or in the field. Idenua covers both cases with the same dashboard, the same report and the same payroll.
$250 + VAT per month per 100 employees
$199 + VAT per month, up to 3 clocks
Both? They add up in the same dashboard: an employee can clock in on the time clock when at the office and with the app when working from home.
Your staff records clock-in, lunch and clock-out from their phone. Each clock-in confirms identity with Face ID or the phone's fingerprint, takes a selfie and saves the GPS location. For many companies it's all they need: no hardware to buy and employees in any city.
They see their schedule for the day and the map with their zone (geofence). They clock in, lunch and out with one tap: the app takes a selfie and location and warns them if they clock in outside the zone.
Each clock-in with its time, source (app or time clock) and address; it flags whether it was out of zone or saved offline to be sent when it reconnects.
From the app the employee requests vacation o paid or unpaid leave: they pick the dates and reason, and HR approves them from the dashboard.
Their employee and company details in view, with a clear notice: location is only recorded when clocking in, never in the background.
Employees, clock-ins with selfie and location, and reports on hours, punctuality and absences ready for payroll and Excel export. And if you use Odoo, everything syncs on its own.
At a glance: sites, readers, employees and clock-ins, with readers per site and recent activity.
Add and manage your staff: department, branch, schedule and biometric ID, and syncing with Odoo.
Days worked and total hours per employee for the range you choose, ready to export to Excel.
Absences, late arrivals, early departures, missing clock-outs and overtime per employee, ready for payroll.
Set per site the lateness grace period, the auto-close of clock-ins with no clock-out and the clock-in reminders in the app.
There are four ways to record attendance. The difference that matters isn't the price of the device, but whether it stops a coworker from clocking in for another and how much work it leaves for HR.
| Type | Stops someone clocking in for another? | Hardware | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Card or PIN time clock | ✗No: cards and PINs get shared | The cheapest | Basic control with few staff |
| Fingerprint time clock | ✓Yes | Affordable: the best seller | Offices. Struggles with rough hands, dust or cuts |
| Facial time clock | ✓Yes, and touch-free | A bit pricier than fingerprint | Plants, warehouses, construction and workers with worn hands |
| Phone app (Idenua) | ✓Yes: Face ID or phone fingerprint, selfie and GPS | None: uses the employee's phone | Remote work, field sales and branches without a clock |
Without software, clock-ins stay on the device: someone has to pull them over USB, gather each branch's and build the report by hand. With Idenua they arrive on their own to a cloud dashboard, ready for payroll.
Choose a ZKTeco clock with the ADMS feature (it appears in the menu as cloud server or Cloud Server). That way it connects straight to Idenua, with no software or server to install. Not sure which one? Ask us on WhatsApp and we'll recommend the model.
You can buy your clock on your own —any ZKTeco with ADMS works— and manage it with Idenua. But if you'd rather not hunt for one, we sell it to you already tested and ready to connect to Idenua, with power adapter and shipping included. All three are face and fingerprint; what changes is how many people they hold. Choose by the size of your staff:
Best for up to ~100 people
Best for up to ~2,000 people
Same capacity as the MB160ID, but reads the face in under 0.35 s
Prices in Mexican pesos · 16% VAT not included · Power adapter and shipping included nationwide in Mexico · All are delivered configured and ready to connect to Idenua. Not sure which one fits? Ask us on WhatsApp and we'll tell you.
From a single dashboard you add each location: head office, plant or branches. Each site can have several ZKTeco time clocks.
In the ZKTeco reader's menu you enter the Idenua address under the cloud server option (ADMS). Nothing is installed on any computer.
Each clock-in appears instantly in the Idenua dashboard, ready for your hours report. And if you use Odoo, the clock-in or clock-out is also created in Attendances, with no manual work.
When an employee enrolls their fingerprint, photo or face on any reader, the template is replicated automatically to the rest of the readers at the same site. Everything is managed from the Idenua dashboard, without opening the manufacturer's software.
If you add a new reader tomorrow, it receives all the fingerprints, photos and faces of already-enrolled employees on its own. Zero manual re-enrollment.
The platform tracks which reader already has each template, so nothing is left behind or duplicated.
Idenua doesn't depend on Odoo: your employees, clock-ins and reports live in their own dashboard. But if you already work with Odoo —version 10 to 20—, clock-ins from the app or the clocks post themselves into Attendances, with no version migration or Enterprise purchase. All the detail on the connection, the time clocks and the compatible versions is on its own page.
Tracking attendance isn't just about who showed up late. In Mexico, the Federal Labor Law puts the burden of proving your staff's workday on the company.
If an employee claims overtime, the law asks the company to show how long the workday was. Without reliable records, the worker's word counts.
If you keep attendance records, you must produce them in court. Idenua keeps them in the cloud with date, time, place and selfie: they aren't lost, erased or altered.
The hours-worked report comes from the dashboard and exports to Excel, or lands in Odoo if you use it. No more paper timesheets or hand-built spreadsheets.
