World of Concrete 2020 may be officially over, but the impact certainly is not. From great new products to amazing demos, it was a week full of excitement, change, and new possibility. This year was different, however, because of all the amazing celebrity appearances! Were you able to meet your favorite star at World of Concrete 2020?

Okay, you probably didn’t, because there weren’t any actual celebrities at World of Concrete 2020, unfortunately. However, to show off our new facial recognition solution in WorkMax at World of Concrete 2020, we held a competition to see who looked the most like your favorite stars. The result was a fun time that showcased amazing solutions to solve a major problem in construction, buddy punching.

Buddy punching is not nearly as fun as it sounds. This occurs when an employee clocks time for their buddy, usually because their buddy is either running later or leaving early. This not only causes a company to overpay an employee, but also means that jobs are getting done less efficiently, and labor is being tracked incorrectly. All of this can be completely eliminated with WorkMax TIME’s facial recognition, because each record with a discrepancy will be flagged, allowing you to easily catch it and put a stop to this time theft.

We wanted to show attendees at World of Concrete 2020 that WorkMax TIME’s facial recognition was easy-to-use and wouldn’t interfere with the clock in/out process. Employees simply take a selfie and it’s compared to their profile image. Advanced metrics like eyes distance, cheek gauntness, and facial structure are then used to give you a match percentage indicating how closely the two images match. This saves you time and money while also preventing buddy punching.

Most employee time tracking solutions only use a face capture method, which is simply taking a picture that must be manually compared to what the employee looks like. It doesn’t provide you any facial analysis or return a photo comparison match percentage. It also can’t alert you of photo mismatches because there’s no photo comparison analysis performed. This is process is not only tedious and repetitive for an employee to manually compare every photo, but it’s also tedious and repetitive. See how frustrating that is?
We decided to hold a competition at World of Concrete 2020 to see who could match closely enough, percentage-wise, to some of the most well-known celebrities. Here are the three winners:

1st Place for Celebrity Photo Match at World of Concrete 2020:
Coming in at first place was Ruben, who matched just over 41% with George Lopez! Congratulations to Reuben for winning our contest, and maybe he can use his prize to kick off his own comedy career.

2nd Place for Celebrity Photo Match at World of Concrete 2020:

We hit it off immediately with Kristina, becoming instant “Friends”. We weren’t able to immediately get her the prize for second place, though, because we were on a break, but she matched a stunning 39% Jennifer Anniston.

Someone call the Police, because Paul won third place, matching at 34% with the legendary artist Sting. We sent the prize to Paul, so hopefully, he gets our Message in A Bottle.
