Griaule Fingerprint SDK helped us to improve the way we access the laboratory. Now we have a safer and more convenient system. I'm sure it will bring many benefits for all here.
Immisceo
http://www.immisceo.dk/ | Per Elsted - Denmark
In our development team we wanted something fast and ready to go with different fingerprint scanners to our club system project. We needed to enroll multiple clients within a short period of time, but also do verification very fast. In comparing GrFinger to other similar products, we found that GrFinger Fingerprint SDK beats all their competitors in price, in matching speed and of course in easy of use. Not to mention support and sample code for multiple programming languages. If you are considering doing a project with fingerprint matching, please look into what the Griaule team has to offer.
Mobisoft

I have chosen the GrFinger Biometric SDK by Griaule to help us delivering a cost effective biometric challenge/response interface for our clients. Our applications are developed using Visual Studio 2003 and Visual Studio 2005 with support for .NET framework 1.1, 2.0 and CE. We are currently using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 to provide the database engines for our application and fingerprint recognition support. Our applications are mainly focused on the secure storage and retrieval of information. For our clients who need the extra security of fingerprints, we feel very confident in using Griaule to help make it happen. Initial costs, wide fingerprint reader support and the ability to easily integrate into our existing .NET applications convinced me to choose Griaule as our partner in biometric security.
RCMS
http://www.rcms.com.br | Lin Ho Wei - Brazil
I discovered Griaule through articles found on the web. I've developed an application on Java and VB6 to control employees and customers in my LAN house management system. The application was developed to run on a Windows XP box with MS SQL Server MSDE. I've really enjoyed their really low price and the amazing simplicity to integrate with other applications. Even though I've tried other solutions, I think GrFinger is the best and easier to use.
Tecnoponta
We've used GrFinger to control both students and employees. Using this system, we're able to have a precise control of frequency and the time of the day people are inside our training center. It's a great step for a differentiation of our company, showing we're always after the best products on the marketplace. After deployment we're able to establish a closer link with our customers and their shopping behavior. Thanks to the fingerprints, our internal employee control is now 100% accurate!
Intelectix
http://www.intelectix.com | Luis Alonso Ramos - Mexico
Intelectix is a custom-solutions development company, specialized in .NET technologies. Our latest project is a complete information system for a chain of gyms, currently around 30 in Mexico and South America, with around 30,000 customers.
The software manages everything from customer memberships and payments, employee time management, appointments by call-center. The previous system used a numeric code for customers to sign their attendance each time they came into the gym. Customers often didn't remember their IDs, so they always had to ask for it.
Our system uses Griaule technology to allow customers to sign in with their fingerprint, thus letting them forget their unique number. Also, to have better control on trainers and other employees, our software includes a module that makes them check in and out using their fingerprint.
We have found GrFinger to be very easy to use, simple to install and able to work with Microsoft Fingerprint Reader, which has the advantage of being found at your local Office Depot.
We will definitely consider GrFinger for our future projects.
Amesp Healthcare systems
http://www.amesp.com.br | Samuel Natali - Brazil
We needed to develop an application to keep track of the doctors that work on our medical centers. Griaule's fingerprint products were chosen due to their simplicity to use, range of features offered and low cost. Our application was developed in Delphi, using an Oracle database. Presently, as a pilot, it's deployed in 10 machines at a single site, but soon will be deployed on all our 26 centers.
SailorWeb
http://www.sailorweb.com.br | Luiz Barros - Brazil
SailorWeb, web producer based on the state of São Paulo, has used GrFinger to develop an application to be used on a local mall. The application is used to enroll customer for contests promoted by the mall. The fingerprints prevent users from enrolling more than once on the contests and have been used quite successfully.
Constructora
http://www.constructora.com.bo | - Bolivia
We've used GrFinger in the development of a web based application that relies on a fingerprint authentication server and many biometric clients, all of them based on Griaule's fingerprint technology. The solution was developed in order to cover a wide number of tasks in an organization, such as: time and attendance, access control, client enrollment and tracking, service management and accounting.
The application relies on a client/server architecture where two kinds of clients were developed: web based clients (some of them using touchscreen interfaces) and standalone clients based on "Verifier E" fingerprint readers that are controlled by the biometric server (access control).
The solution is fault tolerant and was deployed in a multi-server/multi-OS environment (Windows/Linux). The application was built around the following technologies: PostgreSQL, Ruby on Rails, Java, GrFinger suite, Crossmatch and Digital Persona fingerprint readers. There are around 200 users that interact with the application on a daily basis.
We've chosen Griaule because the high quality and reliability of the fingerprint identification algorithm and the flexibility of its licensing model. We believe that GrFinger is an excellent product at an accessible price.
Video Game Center
Carlos Cordovil - Brazil
We operate a movies/CD/games rental store where we have the need to be sure that the person taking home the disc is actually the one we have listed. We've previously used barcode cards, but frauds happened quite often, not to mention the cases where the customer forgot his card at home. After that, we've tried a visual identification (using photos), which also had several weaknesses.
We've then decided to try a biometric solution, and after exhaustive market research, we've came to Griaule's solution. Their GrFinger solution provided an excellent alternative due to their support for a wide variety of readers and its small memory footprint.
State University of Campinas (Unicamp)
http://www.unicamp.br/ | Admission exams - Brazil
The admission exams take place twice a year, having around 50,000 (fifty thousand) candidates for each exam. All enrollment and id checking on the examinees are completely controlled using Griaule’s biometric products. And we're talking about one of the best Latin American universities, offering courses in every imaginable subject!
Ceset - Unicamp
http://www.ceset.unicamp.br/ | Tiago William - Brazil
I'm an undergraduate student, and chose GrFinger as the solution to a course project I've done. A dedicated controller board was built to integrate my PC with an electronic doorlock. GrFinger was used as the fingerprint recognition solution to, upon identification of the person, unlock the door. Moreover, I was amazed at their skilled support.
Casa da Esperança
http://www.casadaesperanca.org.br/ | Alexandre Mapurunga - Brazil
I've upgraded a time attendance application we had developed internally. This application used barcode cards, and we often were losing a lot of time (and money) reprinting lost or damaged cards, not to mention the employees using other person's cards to register their attendance. This was putting the trustworthiness of the information collected in jeopardy. By replacing the cards with biometric access control, besides being absolutely reliable, the system is now much faster than it used to be.
The environment on which the application is developed/deployed is a low-end AMD Duron 1.2GHz, with only 128MB of RAM, developed on Visual Basic 6. Only minor changes, apart from "dropping" the GrFinger control on my app, needed to be done. The integration was really a breeze.
When I purchased the Microsoft Fingerprint Reader, I was surprised to see how hard it would be to integrate it into my application. After testing Griaule's FREE version, we realized it was the way to go.
I'd recommend their kit to anyone who wish to develop a component-based application, either upgrading an existing app or developing a new one from scratch. Griaule's tools are versatile and compatible with lots of available fingerprint readers and development environment.
Time Clock Software
http://www.timeclocksoft.com/ | Tim Rick - United States
I've used Griaule's software to develop a payroll and attendance management solution. The programming was done in Visual Basic using Microsoft Access as database. There's no limit to the number of users handled by my application. I've chosen GrFinger thanks to Griaule's support for many readers, including Microsoft Fingerprint Reader, and the ability to work while the application is not on the foreground. I'm really satisfied with this solution.
West Media Systems
http://www.westmediasystems.com/ | Jan West - Sweden
I've found Griaule while searching on Google. I decided to purchase their product due to the completeness and simplicity of the examples, extremely well thought out. I've used their Delphi sample. My application is a database that stores media, like audio and video, and GrFinger is used to give to users access to content. I have a Firebird database server running in a Windows 2003 network, with Windows XP clients. Due to pricing issues, I've decided to use Microsoft Fingerprint Reader and it ends up Griaule are the only software vendor supporting this device.
Recreatiepark BreeBronne BV
http://www.breebronne.nl/ | Harold Stemkens - Netherlands
We have used the biometric suite for the development of an employee's check-in / check-out and activy control application. There are around 15 users using the application. The application is developed on Visual Basic, connecting to a MySQL database. The completeness of examples and documentation were the compelling factor to make me choose Griaule's products.
Paquet Express
http://www.paquetexpress.com.mx | Carlos Hernandez - México
We use GrFinger in a system that controls the arrival of products in warehouses, running on Oracle and OracleForms. We've decided to use Griaule's products because their software supports many readers, allowing me to choose always the best for each case. The software will be deployed in 30 warehouses. We've run several tests, and consider GrFinger really fast and reliable.
Mindware
http://www.mindware.com.ar | Marcelo Ceitlin - Argentina
My application is built on Windows 2003/XP, using SQL Server 2000/2005 and HLServer (HL7 Server), using C#. It's meant to identify patients in a hospital (to offer an electronic patient record). I've chosen to use GrFinger mainly due to its demo version available for public download on the Internet. I was fascinated with the detailed examples (which really work!!) and the excellent value it brought for my money.
Link2Soft
http://www.link2soft.com | Luis A. Ponce - Mexico
I've purchased GrFinger to develop an access control solution, using Microsoft Fingerprint Reader. The application is intended to handle around 250 users, running under Windows XP/Linux, MySQL and Apache. I'd say the simplicity to use GrFinger is its best feature. It's really a good product.
Sistemas Modulares de Computación Ltda
http://www.smc.cl | Christian Walter – Chile
Searching for a way to improve our products and offer our customers new technologies we decided to add biometric functionalities to our applications. After analyzing the performance of different products we finally implemented GrFinger Fingerprint SDK into our developments for the Chilean public sector. GrFinger SDK offers reliability and great performance in a competitive price level. The support of a series of scanners and programming languages is a plus we don’t want to miss.
We use GrFinger to electronically sign documents inside our document management applications, in our time an attendance and access control products and we are working to find more applications that help us to keep our market position.
Solução em Focco
www.solucaoemfoco.com.br | Rodrigo Dutra Rubes - Brazil
Our company is specialized in software development for clubs. We had tried several times to implement biometrics in our applications without success until one company from our city recommended Griaule's tools for fingerprint recognition. Soon, we realized that it actually worked and could fit our needs. Today, we already have our software working in two client companies. One of them has 5000 fingerprints registered, while the other has 2100. The results are excellent and we are just putting the technology available to all of your clients. We are surely very satisfied, and so are they.

http://www.e-cut.de | Jürgen Findeis - Germany
Our company develops windows-based software for small hairdresser's businesses. An important feature of our software is the authorisations-management module, which secures confidential parts of the programme. At the beginning we solved this by using passwords, but we soon recognized that this was only suboptimal.
We developed a fingerprint-authentication module, based on GrFinger. We chose GrFinger because it is compatible to different hardware systems and because of its excellent price. It works really fast and reliable.
Our customers say that fingerprint is the perfect solution for their needs because it is easy to use and reliable.
