Causeway Technologies rapidly increases distribution of biometric tool for construction sites

February 8, 2021

It has recently been announced that Causeway Technologies has accelerated its rollout of a new facial recognition tool to support construction companies looking to implement contactless biometric sign-in on site.

The technology is part of a recent update of Causeway’s Donseed biometric labour management software. The Donseed software helps contractors gather data about who has visited site, how long they have worked and what their credentials are – the latter includes managing site inductions online and being alerted to expiring training certifications.

“The natural next step in our offering of biometric solutions”

Whilst Causeway increased the speed at which it developed its facial recognition tool in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, they explain that it has always been part of a wider strategy to provide contactless biometrics on a hardware-agnostic platform.

David Pinches, Product Director at Causeway, remarked: “We always had facial recognition on our roadmap as it was the natural next step in our offering of biometric solutions. Last year, we fast-tracked the final stages of our development so that we could offer customers a contactless solution for tracking workers on site as soon as possible.

“As sites attempted to reduce contact, we saw examples of people reverting to things like paper sign-in sheets. But this isn’t an efficient workflow, adding significant time and administration to the process. It also creates a higher potential for risk and mistakes, something that a biometric solution, because of the unique profile that it provides, can remove.

“While the construction industry is forecast to grow this year, controlling costs is going to be extremely important when it comes to protecting and enhancing your margin.

“This tool allows you to build an accurate understanding of what is happening across all your sites, with all of the security benefits of biometrics – be that fingerprint or facial recognition.”
