Client
Cook Islands Ports Authority (CIPA) — the government authority managing the Cook Islands’ main ports at Avatiu (Rarotonga) and Arutanga (Aitutaki).
Sector
Port operations / maritime services / government
The Situation
The Port Authority needed a simple, contactless way to record staff and contractor hours across multiple entry points, with fast check-ins at shift changes and payroll-ready exports. Paper timesheets and manual corrections were causing delays and disputes, especially with rotating crews and contractors.
The solution
Hardware: 5 × ZKTeco SpeedPalm V5L terminals (touchless palm + face). The readers cope with variable lighting and humid conditions, reduce “buddy punching”, and speed up queues at shift changes.
Software: ZKBio Time Cloud (50-Employee plan). The recorded deployment used browser-based attendance with timetables, exceptions, and attendance report exports for payroll preparation. The exact project import format and receiving-system mapping require confirmation.
Deployment model: Readers positioned at key gates and admin areas; IN/OUT flows configured to keep lines moving. Admins and supervisors log in via web to enrol users, review exceptions, and download payroll files.
Why this works in a port environment
Touchless, quick identification: Palm/face recognition removes card hand-offs and reduces shared-surface hygiene issues.
Designed for shift work: Flexible timetables, public-holiday calendars and contractor groups mean one system handles permanent staff, temps and visiting crews.
Cloud convenience: No server to maintain; authorised users access reports from anywhere with an internet connection.
Payroll-friendly outputs: ZKBio Time Cloud provided attendance report exports for this deployment. This case describes an export workflow; the exact import format and field mapping require project confirmation.
What we implemented
Readers & lanes: Five SpeedPalm V5L devices across main staff/contractor flows; IN/OUT rules to reduce door congestion.
Enrolment policy: Palm + face for staff; contractors can be enrolled for limited windows and removed automatically after project completion.
Schedules & rules: Base hours + exception flags (late/early/missed). Email alerts for frequent exceptions to help supervisors intervene quickly.
Payroll export workflow: The recorded project used attendance report exports for payroll preparation; the exact import format, mapping and template details require confirmation.
