KEY FEATURES
Multi-User Configuration
At times, HR assigns certain parameters to multiple users. Individual
assignment for each user is very time-consuming and tedious.
COSEC multi-user configuration facilitates HR to assign such
parameters to all or group of users with few clicks. HR can assign
new policies, ESS rights, new groups etc. to a group of users.

Scheduler Service
COSEC Scheduler Service performs routine tasks automatically at a
predefined time. Administrator can schedule report generation,
database backup, monthly data processing, leave credit etc.
Scheduler Service saves significant time of HR and admin teams
allowing them to focus on other important tasks.

User Profile
Proper user information with all required details at one central place
can eliminate multiple spreadsheets and related chaos. Use COSEC
to create full user profile with personal information, contact detail,
photograph, user-wise attendance policy, access rights and other
organizational information. HR can pull out this detail and get a
report anytime with just few clicks.

Dashboard
COSEC offers separate dashboard for each application giving users
a quick overview on the application home page. Click on an item
takes users to the detail page for the item.

User Enrollment
COSEC facilitates HR to enroll each user with identification
credentials like palm vein, fingerprint, card or PIN. He can enroll
these credentials in multiple ways using special function card,
door controller keypad or from the desktop enrollment station.
Dual Fingerprint Images
COSEC offers a unique feature of storing a copy of fingerprint image
in the database during the enrollment process. Of these two images,
one is stored as the original and another will keep on changing
whenever any change is detected in the user fingerprint. This
provides sureness of fingerprint acceptance on the reader. This is an
important feature where the user's fingerprint image is changing
because of seasonal changes or working environment.
Credential Distribution
Matrix COSEC distributes user credentials (palm vein, fingerprint
and RF card) automatically to all the door controllers assigned to the
user. This eliminates the need of separate enrollment on each door
controller, reduces administrative complexity and saves time.
Fingerprint Verification
Using fingerprint verification feature, the administrator can check
user's fingerprint presence in COSEC database by placing a finger on
the enrollment station. If credential matches with any records in the
database, COSEC show user's photograph, depar tment,
designation, user ID, etc. It is a very useful feature to identify
criminals, patients, students etc. from the existing records.
Login Roles and Rights
In large organizations, it is not possible for one person to manage all
the tasks related to time-attendance, payroll, roster, cafeteria and
visitor management. COSEC administrator can create multiple users
with their own login and rights for each application. Now, these users
can manage their assigned departments or applications.
Special Function Cards
Late-in, early-out, official-out, official-in and enrollment are some of
frequently used functions. Entering codes for such functions is
tedious and time-consuming. The administrator can create special
function cards for such predefined functions. Now, a user can show
the special function card followed by his credential to use the special
function. Administrator can assign up to four cards for each special
function.

SMS and Email Notifications

Instant SMS and email notifications on important events inform
users to take necessary actions avoiding delays. COSEC monitors
32 types of events and sends notifications to users and managers
using SMS and email gateways. Events include user events, leave
application, approval/rejection, monthly attendance, missing in/out
punch, database backup, door offline and many others.
Reports and Charts
COSEC offers 160+ reports and colorful charts. User can apply
filters like date selection, group selection, user selection and sorting
type to generate a specific report. Users can easily export these
reports to Excel, Word, XML, RPT, PDF and CSV for further analysis,
action and record keeping.
Import Data
Many organizations maintain their employee and organization data
in text or spread-sheet format. Matrix COSEC allows importing this
data, preventing errors and saving precious time. COSEC allows
importing user information, policy details and organization hierarchy
from Excel.
Centralized Monitoring and Control
COSEC offers live monitoring and control to check the system in
real-time. It shows the current status of all the site controllers, doorcontrollers, alarms, input ports and output ports. COSEC shows
entries and exits with user photographs live as these events occur.
Further, the administrator can control door alarms, lock or unlock
doors, synchronize time, delete fingerprints and other performs
other access control functions the monitor and control window.
Time Trigger
Using Time Trigger, administrator can automate many often
repeated tasks by scheduling them at desired times. Locking and
unlocking of doors at specified times and blowing the siren to
indicate shift-change are two examples of routine tasks that COSEC
can automate using Time Trigger function.
Auto Device Detection
Deployment of time-attendance or access-control solutions in a
large and multi-location organization can take time and may require
travel to distant locations which escalates deployment cost
significantly adding to the overall project cost.
Matrix COSEC is designed to simplify deployment by searching,
detecting and adding COSEC devices automatically. Any local
electrician can manage physical installation by mounting the device
and connecting power and the Ethernet cables to the device. As
soon as the connection is established, COSEC CENTRA server
detects and adds the device. Now, the administrator can configure
and control the device remotely from the central location.
