Consolidated Dashboard
Live count of everyone present centrally, bifurcated by employee, labourer, staff, and more — with a graphical view of transactions as they happen.
CENTRALIZED BIOMETRIC DEVICE MIDDLEWARE
One system. Every biometric device. Every location.
The data and device layer that powers your biometric ecosystem.
Pravesh IMS (FaceGate) is the centralized middleware layer that sits beneath your biometric hardware — live dashboards, device health monitoring, alerts, and real-time transaction sync across every device you deploy, PAN-India. It's not an attendance application; it's the data and device layer that powers one.
✓ PAN-India Sync
✓ Vendor-Agnostic Hardware
✓ Cloud or On-Premise
✓ Real-Time Device Health
The centralized layer beneath your biometric hardware
Deploy face and biometric devices across enough locations and a new problem appears — nobody can see all of them at once. Which devices are online. Which transactions got rejected. Who tried to badge in and wasn't recognized. Pravesh IMS is Mantra's centralized middleware built specifically to answer that: a live, PAN-India view of every device, every transaction, and every alert, independent of which application consumes that data downstream.
It deliberately isn't a full attendance or workforce application on its own — there's no leave engine, no payroll integration, no employee self-service portal. It's the raw data and device-management layer other systems, including Pravesh Lite, can be built on top of.
One dashboard. Every device. Every location, PAN-India.
From a single plant to fifty sites, Pravesh IMS gives IT and infrastructure teams one live view of the biometric hardware they run.

Powerful features
Everything you need to monitor, manage, and feed your biometric device fleet — from one centralized application.
Device Health Monitor
Every device PAN-India, with IP address, device ID, location, last sync time, registered users, online/offline status, and transaction count.
Alert Dashboard
Flags individuals or devices tied to threshold breaches or other on-premises incidents your hardware is configured to detect.
Transaction Monitor
Daily punch-in and punch-out transactions from every individual, tagged with location, reflected here as they arrive.
Master Management
User, Entity, Entity Kiosk, Device, and Location masters — add a new site, device, or entity type PAN-India from one place.
Reports
Unregistered user log, rejected transactions, and attendance/threshold-detection logs — the raw records other systems and audits need.
Facial Recognition Engine
Detection, normalization, feature extraction, and match verification against the enrolled database — see the full pipeline below.
Third-Party Data Sync
Upload or sync any entity to another device or downstream system — the provision that lets Pravesh IMS feed other applications.
Multi-Location, PAN-India
Add locations as you expand — every device at every site reports into the same centralized application, whether it's one plant or fifty.
How the Facial Recognition Engine works
Captured images move through detection, normalization, enhancement, and feature extraction before the verification algorithm checks them against the enrolled database — a match confirms identity instantly; no match triggers enrolment instead.
Works with your existing ecosystem
Vendor-agnostic by design. Pravesh IMS centralizes data from Mantra and non-Mantra hardware alike, and feeds it into whatever you run downstream.

Pravesh IMS Middleware Functionality
Connect multiple locations, unify identity data in the cloud, and manage everything from a single intelligent dashboard.
Built for every multi-site environment
Wherever biometric devices are deployed across locations, Pravesh IMS provides the centralized layer to manage them.
What happens without a centralized device layer.
Silent device failures, unlogged access attempts, and siloed data. Here's how Pravesh IMS closes each gap.

What happens without a centralized device layer — and how Pravesh IMS closes each gap.
01
No Central Device Visibility
IT teams run dozens or hundreds of devices across sites with no single view of which ones are actually online, synced, and reporting correctly. The Device Health Monitor puts every device, PAN-India, on one screen.
02
Silent Device Failures
A terminal can sit offline for days before anyone notices — usually when a supervisor complains that entry logs are missing. Health checks and last-sync timestamps surface a dead device immediately, not after the fact.
03
Unrecognized Access Attempts
Failed or unregistered attempts at the gate typically go unlogged and uninvestigated. The Unregistered User Log records who tried, where, and when — turning a blind spot into an audit trail.
04
Rejected Transactions Going Unnoticed
Biometric hardware rejects transactions for all kinds of reasons — poor lighting, a damaged card, an unenrolled face — and without a central log, nobody follows up. Reject Transaction reports make the pattern visible.
05
Siloed Location Data
Each site's transaction data stays local to its own device or server, so there's no way to compare, audit, or report across locations. Multi-location sync brings every site into one dataset.
06
Slow Incident Response
By the time a device fault or security anomaly is reported up the chain, hours or days may have passed. The Alert Dashboard flags threshold breaches and incidents in real time, not after someone escalates it.
Why organizations choose Pravesh IMS
Centralized control over a distributed biometric device fleet — without forcing a single hardware vendor.
Centralized Visibility
See every device, every location, and every transaction from one dashboard instead of logging into each site separately.
Device Health at a Glance
Know which devices are online, offline, or need attention before a supervisor calls to report a broken gate.
Faster Troubleshooting
IP address, last sync time, and transaction count per device turn a site visit into a five-minute dashboard check.
Vendor-Agnostic Hardware
Supports Mantra and non-Mantra terminals alike — the middleware layer doesn't force a single hardware vendor.
Built to Scale, PAN-India
Add a new site the same way you added the first — no re-architecture required as your device count grows.
Feeds What You Already Run
Sync clean, structured transaction data into Pravesh Lite or any other downstream attendance or HR system.
Pravesh Lite vs. Pravesh IMS
Same naming family, different jobs. Most enterprises deploying at scale eventually use both — IMS as the device layer, Lite as the HR-facing application on top.

Frequently Asked Questions
Pravesh IMS — internally known as FaceGate — is Mantra's centralized middleware for biometric devices deployed across multiple locations. It gives you one live view of device health, transactions, and alerts PAN-India, independent of any single application.
No — and this is worth being direct about. Pravesh IMS is a centralized raw-data and device-management application, not a full attendance system. It doesn't produce leave balances, payroll-ready attendance, or employee self-service. For that, pair it with Pravesh Lite, which is built specifically as the attendance and workforce application.
Yes. The platform is built to support both Mantra and non-Mantra terminals, so existing third-party hardware doesn't need to be replaced to get centralized visibility.
Four variants — V1 through V4 — differing by credential type (card, face, fingerprint combinations) and user capacity, from 1,000 to 5,000 users per device kit. See the Hardware & Deployment Kits section for the full breakdown.
When paired with thermal-capable hardware, yes — the Alert Dashboard can flag temperature and mask-compliance events alongside other on-premises incidents. This runs on the same device data the platform already centralizes.
Through its data sync and upload provisions, Pravesh IMS can push entity and transaction data to other devices or downstream applications — including Pravesh Lite or a third-party HRMS — rather than holding data in a silo.
Both are supported — deploy Pravesh IMS on Mantra's cloud infrastructure or host it entirely on-premise, depending on your IT policy.
Captured images go through detection, normalization, enhancement, and feature extraction before the verification algorithm checks them against the enrolled database — a match confirms identity instantly; no match triggers enrolment instead.
