Design once, print for everyone — with QR codes, barcodes and CR80 print-ready sizing.

Introduction

Design once, print for everyone — with QR codes, barcodes and CR80 print-ready sizing. This guide is written for organisations in Nepal that are moving
off paper registers and spreadsheets, and want to understand what changes when
the process becomes digital.

Why it matters

Manual processes fail quietly. A register gets filled in at the end of the
week from memory; a spreadsheet formula silently breaks; a leave balance is
argued over because nobody has the authoritative number. The cost is rarely a
single dramatic failure — it is a slow accumulation of small disputes and
wasted administrative hours.

Key features to look for

Accurate capture at source — biometric, QR, GPS, WiFi or
facial recognition, whichever fits how your people actually work.

Policy that lives in the system — grace periods, shift
windows and leave allocations encoded once, applied consistently.

Reports people trust — same numbers on the dashboard, in
the export and on the payslip.

Nepali calendar support — Bikram Sambat dates throughout,
not bolted on at the end.

How id cards works in Mero Attendance

Mero Attendance treats id cards as one part of a single connected
system rather than a standalone tool. Records captured here flow directly into
payroll, reports and dashboards, so the same figure appears everywhere and there
is no reconciliation step at month end.

Getting started

Set up your organisation, branches and departments.

Import your people from a spreadsheet.

Choose the capture methods that suit each group.

Configure policy — shifts, grace periods, leave types.

Run one month in parallel with your old process, then switch.

Frequently asked questions

Does this work without an internet connection?

Attendance devices queue records locally and sync when connectivity returns,
so a brief outage does not lose data.

Can we use the Nepali (Bikram Sambat) calendar?

Yes. BS dates are supported across attendance, payroll, leave and reports,
and can be toggled per organisation.

How long does setup take?

A small office is typically running the same day. Schools and colleges with
classes, sections and subjects usually take two to three days including data
import.

Is our data private?

Each organisation's data is isolated. Staff only ever see what their assigned
permissions allow.
