FAQs
1. I have all of my employee data for access control and time-tracking purposes stored in BioStar2. If I buy Factorial, will I have to log employee data in both places? That sounds time-consuming.
No need to worry. Factorial becomes the only source of truth for employee data. Any changes made in Factorial, such as new hires or terminations, are automatically transferred to BioStar2 and the devices.
2. I already have Suprema devices. Can I still integrate them with Factorial?
Yes, you can. The integration works with existing Suprema devices that support BioStar2 or newer versions.
3. Biometrics are illegal in Spain. Are there any ID alternatives available?
While there are some legal concerns surrounding biometrics in Spain, there are alternative ID methods, like RFID cards or PIN codes, that work with Suprema devices.
4. I manage my devices through a local LAN/server for security reasons. Would this integration affect that?
Both BioStar2 and the integration are hosted locally, so your security is maintained. Data remains on your local servers/LAN for privacy and security.
5. Is it possible to set which devices my employees can clock-in/out through? I’ve got different teams and movement flows that I’d rather keep.
Yes, the integration allows setting up different teams or groups with predetermined conditions with regard to access control or time and attendance.
