There is no direct way to integrate biometric devices with ERPNext.
If you want to connect a fingerprint device to ERPNext, you need to do it programmatically.
There are libraries that provide APIs which allow you to connect to the fingerprint device Like (pyzk) , retrieve the fingerprint data, and then store it in ERPNext

Notes:

  • There is a DocType called Employee Checkin where all employee fingerprint logs pulled from the device are stored.
  • There is another DocType called Attendance, which displays employee attendance details such as total working hours, first and last check-in, and delays.
  • A report called Monthly Attendance Sheet is available, which allows you to view an employee’s attendance summary for the month.
  • Another report called Shift Attendance provides a detailed view of employee attendance, including late days, working hours, and more.
  • In order for the reports to work correctly, the fingerprints pulled from the device must first be recorded in the Employee Checkin DocType. Then, they should be linked and converted into records in the Attendance DocType by mapping the check-ins accordingly.

Based on experience, any feedback on how reliable those integration, for the goal of a true seamless process?

I don’t know if OP meant ERPNext HR Module or the Frappe HR App, if the experience is different.

A client is considering Frappe ecostyem and their HR and Biometric Attendance is critical.

The hardware part is open for any device, the technical resources will be allocated, but the end users (HR people) must get a seamless UI and user experience.
