Biometric Integration

APPTOFIT supports biometric integration for gyms and fitness centers to automate attendance tracking and, optionally, door access control.

We currently support the following biometric devices:

• ESSL X990 – Fingerprint + Face ID ✔ Supports Attendance ✔ Supports Door Lock
• MB160 – Fingerprint + Face ID ✔ Supports Attendance Only ✖ Door Lock not supported

1. Supported Features

a. Attendance Only

• Suitable for centers that want only punch-in/punch-out tracking.
• The device will not block entry even if a membership expires.
• After each sync with APPTOFIT (https://apptofit.com), all attendance logs are cleared automatically from the device to avoid duplicates.

b. Attendance + Door Lock

• Only for ESSL X990.
• When a member’s subscription expires, the system:
  1. Allows a few biometric punches.
  2. Once the device identifies the member, it deletes their fingerprint (not their user profile).
  3. This ensures that the member cannot access the gym again until renewed.

2. Membership Expiry & Renewal Process

When membership expires:

• Fingerprint is removed from the biometric device (but stored in the connected system for identity reference).

When membership is renewed:

• The gym admin must re-register the fingerprint on the biometric device.
• This step is required so the member can regain access/do punches.

3. Network & Hardware Requirements

To ensure smooth integration:

1. Only LAN-based devices are supported – WiFi biometric devices are not supported.
2. Biometric Device and System/Computer must be on the same network – Both must connect to the main router via LAN. – Avoid sub-routers, extenders, or additional switches in between.
3. If the computer is formatted – All software access will be lost. – Biometric integration will stop working. – Reinstallation & setup is required.

4. What APPTOFIT Does NOT Support

APPTOFIT does not handle hardware or onsite troubleshooting.

Issues related to:

• Biometric hardware malfunction
• Power supply
• Internet/network issues
• LAN connectivity
• Router problems

…must be handled by the client or their local biometric technician.
