There are certain enterprise applications that particularly like biometrics.

Gym entry system where you can't share your entry fob with a buddy

Corporate access control system, no need for a guard to deal with people who've forgotten their cards.

Time clock where it's impossible for workers to clock other people in/out.

Sure, but that isn't what it was being used for, and all of those places already have access control systems.

My gym in Seattle used this, and it was great. I often forgot bringing my fob, and not needing to explain to the frontdesk person was fantastic.

Also in Seattle and at my gym I scan a barcode off my phone and keep my personal biometric data secure. It’s great. Fantastically, no need to explain anything to a front desk person, either.

I’m team “solution in search of a problem”
