Mintage Bridge
Mintage Bridge links the ZKTeco fingerprint and face terminals you already own to Mintage TimeKeeper or Workforce. It runs on a PC on your network, keeps every device’s roster up to date, and pushes each punch upstream on its own.

The problem
Attendance devices work well at the door, then leave the data stranded on the device.
Getting attendance off a terminal means a USB stick or a vendor tool, every pay period.
New hires are added to each terminal by hand, and people who leave stay on.
Someone keys the punches into payroll, and the mistakes come with them.
The solution
Mintage Bridge sits between your terminals and Mintage. It keeps each device’s roster in step with your employee records and sends every new punch to TimeKeeper or Workforce, automatically, all day.
How it works
Bridge runs on any Windows PC or Linux server that can reach your terminals.
Run MB160 Connector on a Windows PC, where it installs itself and starts with Windows, or as a service on a Linux server.
“Discover on network” scans your local network and enrolls each ZKTeco terminal by its serial number.
Scan the QR codes from TimeKeeper or Workforce settings. Each install sends to exactly one destination.
Every 5 to 60 minutes it pulls your active employees, enrolls them on every device and pushes new punches up.
Features
Set it up once. It keeps your terminals and Mintage in step.
Connects to the ZKTeco fingerprint and face terminals on your network, so you keep the hardware you already have.
Finds terminals on your local network automatically and enrolls several at once by serial number.
Active employees come from TimeKeeper or Workforce and are enrolled on every terminal, so new hires can clock in without anyone visiting each device.
New punches go upstream on every sync. Duplicates are skipped, so a re-sync never counts anyone twice.
Attendance and users are cached on the machine, so the console opens instantly and updates live as punches arrive.
The console runs over HTTPS. Sign in with an authenticator app, a password, or both.
Integration secrets are encrypted with a key tied to that computer. Copy the database elsewhere and it won’t unlock.
On Windows it sits in the system tray and starts with the PC. On Linux it runs as a server process.
Updates are checked against a signed release before they install. On Windows they install themselves.

From the build journal
Staff already enrolled on a terminal can now be merged into their TimeKeeper employee record, fingerprints and all, with 3 days to undo a wrong match.
Bridge gained roster search, a safer way to make terminal admins, admin roles from TimeKeeper, a password sign-in option and automatic updates on Windows.
We rewrote our earlier terminal tool as a single app for Windows and Linux that finds ZKTeco terminals, keeps rosters and fingerprints in step, and sends punches to Workforce.
