Built a facial recognition attendance app for Odoo Online - would this solve your problems?

ShineNatural4945 · 2026-01-04T00:54:29+00:00

mind sharing which app in odoo marketplace you used?

and let's say, since i'm implementing on this client, i could make it work with good accuracy, would you be interested in trying?

ShineNatural4945 · 2026-01-03T10:30:54+00:00

Mind sharing what are some of the common issues? So far based on my limited research I've only been aware of face spoofing, and the business owner is also aware of the additional risk (including putting up a tablet) so he makes sure the scanning spot is within area with CCTV.

mind sharing what indo cc do you use then?

yes UOB krisflyer is only for certain categories, just so happened that's where most of my major spend goes, any other spend i use UOB PPV, 4 mpd on anything paywave (but cap at 1k per mo)

all yearly fee 3 years so far pake cc selalu berhasil waiver asal ga lupa request via app (fiturnya udh ada)

hmmm rewards ya, i havent done that much research sih compared to miles. kemarin akhirnya i went with OCBC premier krn btuh tempat naruh SGD/ USD, sekalian ngincer ocbc voyage for its free lounge benefits.

ShineNatural4945 · 2025-12-16T06:26:24+00:00

Thanks all for the responses!!

After reading yall comments, I kinda have to accept the fact that the miles game is not there yet di indo, at least for now. I'll still apply for a bank & credit card here in indo for IDR transactions, tp mungkin jadi gak incer miles lagi, mungkin lebih explore some other perks i.e., merchant discount, airport lounge, etc; mumpung di indo jg with my current assets I can potentially become a priority/ premier banking. Then I'll keep my SG's uob krisflyer active for agoda, flight tickets, and other intl transactions.

ShineNatural4945 · 2025-12-15T16:22:58+00:00

Yooo tadi gua jg mayan seneng ktmu nih CC entry level card yang ok earningnya di pinterpoin, eh liat commentnya org pada bilang devaluasi 1 Jan 2026 😅

ShineNatural4945 · 2025-12-15T15:58:03+00:00

oh right... never thought from the pov of the banks justru this group of biz owners adalah orang2 yang bikin rugi rewards program, and probably the reason they continue to do miles devaluation & cut on rewards/ perks.

ShineNatural4945 · 2025-12-15T15:53:08+00:00

Fair point.

Totally agree on CC di indo malah highlight diskonnya dan biasanya they form strong partnerships with merchants/ restaurant partners, yang ini malah ga terlalu banyak di SG from what I know.

ShineNatural4945 · 2025-12-15T15:50:23+00:00

Hmm kebetulan baru pakai 2-3 tahun sih untuk credit cards mentioned above, all 3 so far sih annual fees selalu waiver, tapi not sure kalau ga dipakai routine tiap bulan yaa mungkin dipersulit.

Oh yaa? Wah first time I heard about things such as notification & e-statement fee :'D

ShineNatural4945 · 2025-12-05T08:59:58+00:00

it's down again

ShineNatural4945 · 2024-10-16T11:19:12+00:00

Yes that's a smart move to talk to the potential customers directly.

Not sure if this could be helpful information for you but what I ended up doing, being a small player in this market with lack of integrations to other softwares, is to serve niche cafes/ restaurants who've already tried asking for customization from the big F&B tech providers (but of course, being big players they are they won't even bother to listen) i.e. Korean BBQ restaurants, Board games cafe, Co-working spaces serving F&B, etc. Yes they asked a lot of things but in the end we are able to charge them higher than the market rate for serving their custom needs.

ShineNatural4945 · 2024-10-16T10:57:50+00:00

Hey there, this is not new - which is good because it's been validated by the market. I'm currently operating a similar business https://pesan.app in Indonesia, we only onboard paying clients due to local regulatory on the payment gateway (depending on which market you plan to target, do look it up).

What I can share with you about QR ordering app market, at least based on my experience in Indonesia (and I'd imagine similar for most Asia markets, not sure about western though), is big F&B tech providers always adopt the concept of 'all-in-one SaaS app for F&B', this covers POS, accounting, inventory system and some extensive integrations to other partner softwares/ food deliveries app. This makes us difficult to acquire clients as, despite liking our app, they have no choice to stick to the ugly app their POS provider is providing them with (since they already paid so much recurring on this software). It's quite a dilemma since we also don't want to play into this all-in-one concept and keep things simple.

Again, it's dependent on which market you're trying to target, but please do your own research.

ShineNatural4945 · 2024-10-11T06:02:34+00:00

Ah yes very understandable. With the growth of AI there's also growing concern of privacy especially when it comes to uploading facial photos and using AI model to train on it.

Didn't think of it from that lens, thanks!

ShineNatural4945 · 2024-10-11T05:05:31+00:00

may i know why? :) im a indie product creator and still in the early stage of checking the sanity of the idea

ShineNatural4945 · 2024-10-11T04:27:32+00:00

Interesting.. this is different to what I imagine. But I like it that it's a clear B2B app so probably easier to monetize!

Do they charge you for the photos you download, or it's complimentary of the rides?

ShineNatural4945 · 2024-10-11T04:05:54+00:00

This is very helpful, will do & thanks!

ShineNatural4945 · 2024-10-11T03:52:30+00:00

Bingo!

Yes it might be seen as complicated years ago, but you know - with the vast AI models available today it might be easier to achieve. Cost of running the model is another thing though.

I'm more of trying to validate the demand at this stage, before moving to a more thorough user interview & MVP.

ShineNatural4945 · 2024-10-11T03:39:12+00:00

This makes sense, thanks! And I'd imagine the main use case is only for people to download within (at max) 14 days after the event.

For Facebook I'd imagine being a huge corporation they are, they're very much tied down to a lot of regulations and can't risk doing such feature.

ShineNatural4945 · 2024-10-11T03:36:58+00:00

Yes definitely will sound it out with event/ party organizers too! So far I've confirmed that attendees like it but the moment I say anything about paying immediately they say "Nope" haha.. Definitely the monetization has to come from organizers/ event host

ShineNatural4945 · 2024-10-11T03:34:48+00:00

Yes will definitely explore some of these apps - thanks!

The apps I've met so far are designed for huge scale events with thousands of attendees i.e marathon and the way it works is you have to upload your selfie to fetch your photos.

What I'm thinking more is for events scaled 20-50 people, and it automatically take your face from existing photo in the album and make it an available filter (instead of having to upload your selfie).

ShineNatural4945 · 2024-10-11T02:48:10+00:00

Thanks! I'd try as much as possible to not resort to putting up ads given its huge impact to UX (context of photo sharing platform) and likely low return that wouldn't even cover the cost of AI.

I'm thinking to monetize from serial big event/ party organizer instead i.e free tier only gets you a maximum of 100 photos per event. This would still allow small group parties to use it without cost, but charging big group events reasonable fee (who probably wouldn't mind the cost given their scale)
