Why Choose

Why Choose
Attendo?

You Get A Payroll System, Not Attendance Software

ZKBio Time is described on ZKTeco's own site as "time and attendance management software." Their separate payroll product exists, but it's sold only in the Philippines. In India, you're expected to export attendance and run payroll in a different tool. Attendo is one system - attendance and salaries together. No exports, no second tool.

Lifetime Warranty, No Shipping Catch

ZKTeco's own warranty page says "One (1) Year Limited Hardware Warranty-Worldwide." If your device fails, you have to ship it to them. Voltage surge damage isn't covered. Discontinued models aren't repaired at all. Attendo devices come with a lifetime warranty. If it fails, we replace it. You don't arrange shipping, you don't read the fine print.

Rules That Fit Your Business

Every SME has its own payroll logic. Different overtime rates for kitchen and floor staff. Half-day rules that change by branch. Staff who are hourly Monday to Friday but daily on weekends. Attendo sets these rules up your way during installation. ZKTeco's software is built for time and attendance - payroll logic sits outside it, in whichever third-party tool you integrate with.

An App Your Staff Will Actually Use

Attendo's employee app works in 11 Indian regional languages. Plus you get daily WhatsApp updates on attendance, leaves, and payroll. ZKTeco's ZKBio Time app supports English, Arabic, Thai, and Russian. No Indian languages. No WhatsApp.

The Mindset Difference

We didn't optimise one side and patch the other.

We built both-so the system works together.
