Overview With this integration, in addition to the conventional CSV file data exchange, API integration is now newly supported. This enables real-time data reflection, eliminating the manual effort and time required for data import and updates that were previously necessary, thereby reducing the workload in back-office operations. ■ 2. What is the Cloud Time Clock Management System "KARA-RECO"? "KARA-RECO" is a cloud-based time clock management system developed by Shift Inc. that utilizes the 2D color barcode "Chameleon Code." It performs identity verification using the camera function of common iPad (Note 2) or Windows devices, eliminating the need for dedicated equipment and allowing for low-cost and smooth implementation. It prevents "impersonation clock-ins," a challenge in various workplaces such as factories and manufacturing, retail and food service with multiple locations, medical and nursing care facilities, construction, and transportation/logistics industries, thereby realizing accurate attendance management. Furthermore, it supports more stringent identity verification by being compatible with facial recognition and Fujitsu's palm vein authentication system
