Cloud attendance and payroll for the biometric machines you already own
Keep compatible eSSL, ZKTeco and Realtime terminals. Bring their attendance into one online register, manage leave and shifts, and calculate payroll from the same records. We confirm your exact model and firmware before you switch.
Free for up to 10 employees at one site with one terminal. Paid plans start at ₹25,000 per year for up to 100 employees, plus GST. See plan details.
Employees can review leave and payslips in their portal. HR and managers work from their own consoles. Explore the employee app →
Start with the machine on your wall
Check compatibility before replacing hardware
The model, firmware and a successful test punch decide compatibility. A supported brand alone does not guarantee every device or enrolment format will work.
ZKTeco
Confirm the push protocol, employee IDs and supported commands. Biometric template reuse depends on the source and replacement models.
Check ZKTeco integrationRealtime
Connect supported models through Realtime's native protocol. Plan for device-side fingerprint and face enrolment at each required terminal.

From the first punch to the monthly payroll review
Capture attendance
The supported terminal sends punches directly to AionHRMS. Review the person, time, terminal and verification method in one register across your locations.
Review shifts and leave
Set duty times and grace periods, review attendance corrections, approve leave and record late deductions before the month is paid.
Calculate and review pay
Use the same attendance records for shift-wise salary. Review paid leave, optional extra work pay, deductions and advance recovery in the payroll report.
A simple salary example
For an illustrative single-shift month with 30 scheduled working days, a ₹30,000 salary and 28 payable shift units, attendance-based gross pay is ₹28,000. A recorded ₹500 late deduction makes ₹27,500 before any other adjustments.
This example excludes overtime, advances and statutory deductions. Your result depends on the saved shifts, paid leave and payroll settings. Optional PF and TDS deductions are available; ESI, professional tax and statutory returns are outside the current scope.

A measured switch from your current software
- 01
Confirm one terminal
Share the exact model, firmware and current connection details. We check the supported workflow before you change the device.
- 02
Preserve your records
Export the records you need from the old system, match employee IDs and retain the original device settings. Agree what can be imported and what stays archived.
- 03
Prove the connection
Register the device, apply the issued settings and verify a test punch against the right employee and time. Test the commands and enrolment workflow you need.
- 04
Reconcile before cutover
Compare attendance and salary rules for an agreed pay period. Parallel operation depends on the old connection method; repointing a single push feed stops it reaching the previous server.
What happens to the records you rely on
When the internet drops
Supported terminals can verify locally and buffer punches for later upload. Capacity and recovery depend on the device; power backup is still needed. Confirm that buffered records reach the register after an outage.
When a machine is replaced
Employee profiles can be pushed centrally. Reusing biometrics depends on the source and target formats. Compatible iClock templates may be reusable; Realtime devices require biometric enrolment at the terminal.
Attendance and employee documents
Routine attendance does not require Aadhaar authentication. HR document uploads are a separate feature and can contain identity documents. Access, retention and deletion are described in our privacy policy.
Read the security details and privacy policy. Attendance and enrolment data are hosted in India by default; confirm any regional hosting requirements before purchase.
Scale figures are for AIONDATA's attendance platform — the same engine, database and device protocols that power AionHRMS — accumulated across AIONDATA products including AdviceFit since the platform first went live.

Letter templates and PDF letters under Reports → Documents
HR builds letter templates from nine samples (offer, appointment, confirmation, probation extension, salary revision, promotion, experience, relieving and termination) with fields filled from the employee's record, and generates a PDF on the company letterhead for one employee at a time. Each letter is kept with the values it printed; the employee sees it in My documents only once HR shares it, and a voided letter keeps its record.

Digital employee ID card
Employees, managers and HR Managers have a My ID card page with their photo, name, designation, employee code, department, phone, email, location and the company logo, to show on a phone or download as an image. HR can open the same card from any employee's page. A company logo can now be uploaded under Settings → Company details.
Questions before you connect
- Will AionHRMS work with the biometric machine I already own?
- We confirm the exact model and firmware before rollout. Supported eSSL and ZKTeco terminals connect using a compatible iClock/ADMS push protocol; supported Realtime terminals use Realtime's native protocol. A brand name or an ADMS menu alone is not a compatibility guarantee. Send the model, firmware version and current server settings so we can arrange a registration and test punch.
- Do employees have to enrol their fingerprints or faces again?
- Changing only the server settings on a supported terminal normally leaves its existing enrolments in place. Employee IDs must match the cloud records, and the workflow must be tested before cutover. Reusing enrolments on another machine depends on the format: compatible iClock templates can be reused on compatible iClock terminals; Realtime biometric enrolment takes place at the terminal.
- Does the office need a computer running all day?
- No local attendance PC is required for a confirmed direct-push setup. The terminal needs power and an outbound internet connection to the issued server address and port. Supported devices can verify locally and buffer punches during an internet interruption; storage capacity and recovery behavior depend on the model. Confirm a test upload after connectivity returns.
- What does the free plan include?
- The free plan covers up to 10 employees, one terminal and one site, with email support. Paid subscriptions are ₹25,000 per year up to 100 employees and ₹50,000 per year up to 500, with unlimited terminals and sites. GST is extra. Hardware, installation and cabling are quoted separately.
- Does AionHRMS calculate payroll and file statutory returns?
- It calculates shift-wise salary from attendance, paid leave, recorded late deductions and advances, with optional overtime and weekly-off work pay. PF and TDS deductions are available when enabled. ESI and professional tax are not computed, and PF ECR, ESI and TDS returns are not filed. Your accountant remains responsible for deposits and filing.
- Can we buy a new biometric machine as well?
- Yes. We coordinate hardware supply and installation through independent biometric dealers. The device, installation and cabling are quoted separately from the software subscription. Confirm the exact model, local service coverage and visit terms in the written quote. Our product support team is based in Noida.
- Can employees use a phone instead of a terminal?
- If the employer enables mobile attendance, employees can punch at an approved workplace using the Android app or browser portal. Location is requested when they punch, rather than tracked in the background. Biometric and mobile punches appear in the attendance register with their source. Mobile punching requires an internet connection.
Current scope and limitations
- Statutory returns (PF ECR, ESI, TDS returns) — PF and TDS deductions can be computed on the payslip, but nothing is filed, and ESI and professional tax are not computed
- Leave encashment and the statutory leave-with-wages register — leave requests and approvals, quotas, holidays, weekly offs, short leave and comp-off are built; these two are not
- Offline phone attendance and background location tracking — not part of the mobile punching workflow
- Student attendance for schools — staff attendance and access only
- MCP server and outbound webhooks — in development; API access today is provisioned per organisation, not self-serve
