The fingerprint authentication solutions are thereby dramatically improving employee productivity and reducing costs for retail operations. The use of fingerprint authentication from Digital Persona also helps eliminate two common productivity problems in the retail environment: 'buddy punching,' or the practice of an employee clocking in for another, and 'lollygagging,' or the effect of lingering for several minutes between punching in and being active at the register. Retailers are using fingerprint authentication to create a verifiable user-unique audit trail that allows them to authenticate and monitor employee access to point-of-sale (POS) terminals to help eliminate employee theft and maintain regulatory compliance. Digital Persona's biometric fingerprint technology provides retailers with a simple solution that replaces passwords or tokens, which can be lost, stolen, or forgotten. Digital Persona, Inc., a leading provider of biometric authentication solutions for enterprise networks and commercial applications, is driving the use of fingerprint authentication with several major retailers including Smart & Final, Rite Aid and Meijer to securely and conveniently authenticate employees, increase worker productivity and reduce register shrinkage and operating costs.
