About This Solution

Quick Answer
It's a secure, modern attendance system that prevents buddy punching by combining QR code scanning with device binding and Wi-Fi or geolocation verification. Employees can only check in from their registered device while connected to your authorized network.
- Device binding: each user is tied to a single device — no friend can check in for them
- Wi-Fi verification: check-ins only work on your authorized office Wi-Fi network
- Geolocation fencing: alternative GPS-based boundary verification
- Dynamic QR codes: refresh periodically to prevent screenshot sharing
- Real-time dashboard: see who's in and who's out instantly
Quick Answer
Three-layer security: each employee is bound to a specific device (preventing phone sharing), the check-in validates against your office Wi-Fi network (ensuring physical presence), and dynamic QR codes refresh periodically (preventing screenshot forwarding).
- Layer 1 — Device binding: the app registers to one specific phone per employee. Even if someone gets the QR code, they can't use it from a different device
- Layer 2 — Network verification: the check-in only completes if the device is connected to your authorized Wi-Fi (or within GPS geofence)
- Layer 3 — Dynamic QR: codes refresh every 30–60 seconds, so screenshots become useless
Quick Answer
The system is available as both a SaaS subscription and an on-premise deployment. Hardware costs are zero — employees use their own smartphones. Contact us for pricing based on your team size and deployment preference.
- Zero hardware cost: no fingerprint scanners, no card readers — employees use their own phones
- SaaS option: monthly subscription based on number of employees
- On-premise option: one-time license fee for self-hosted deployment
- Traditional biometrics: typically $2,000+ per door for hardware alone
Quick Answer
Setup takes 1–2 weeks. This includes configuring the system for your organization, setting up Wi-Fi verification or geofencing, enrolling employees and their devices, and training administrators on the dashboard.
- Day 1–3: System configuration — set up your organization, locations, and departments
- Day 4–7: Network setup — configure Wi-Fi verification or GPS geofencing parameters
- Day 8–10: Employee enrollment — register devices and distribute the app
- Day 11–14: Admin training — dashboard walkthrough and reporting setup
Quick Answer
Yes, the real-time dashboard provides comprehensive reports including daily attendance summaries, late arrivals, early departures, overtime tracking, department-wise analytics, and exportable CSV/PDF reports for payroll integration.
- Real-time status: see who's checked in, who's late, who's absent — right now
- Daily/weekly/monthly reports: attendance summaries by employee, department, or location
- Exception reports: late arrivals, early departures, missed check-ins
- Overtime tracking: automatic calculation based on check-in/check-out times
- Export options: CSV and PDF exports for payroll processing

Quick Answer
The system is built with React for the admin dashboard, Node.js with Express for the backend API, MongoDB for data storage, and WebSockets for real-time attendance updates. The mobile component uses the device's native QR scanner.
- Frontend: React — responsive admin dashboard
- Backend: Node.js (Express) — reliable API server
- Database: MongoDB — flexible, scalable data storage
- Real-time: WebSockets — instant attendance updates on the dashboard
- Mobile: native device QR scanner — no separate app needed for basic scanning
Quick Answer
Yes, the system supports multiple locations with separate Wi-Fi networks and geofences per site. The admin dashboard provides a unified view across all locations with location-specific filtering and reporting.
- Per-location Wi-Fi: configure separate authorized networks for each office
- Per-location geofencing: independent GPS boundaries per site
- Unified dashboard: see all locations in one view with filtering options
- Location-specific reports: generate reports by individual site or across all locations
- Employee assignments: assign employees to specific locations or allow roaming
Quick Answer
Yes, the system is built with modular architecture allowing extensive customization. You can modify check-in rules, reporting formats, notification triggers, and integrate with your existing HR or payroll systems.
- Check-in rules: grace periods, flexible timing, shift-based schedules
- Notification triggers: alerts for late arrivals, unauthorized check-in attempts
- Report templates: custom fields and formats for your payroll system
- API integrations: connect with HR systems (BambooHR, Workday) and payroll software
- Branding: white-label the admin dashboard with your organization's identity
Quick Answer
The check-in process requires an active connection to verify Wi-Fi or geolocation. However, the app caches attendance data locally and syncs when connectivity is restored, ensuring no check-in records are lost.
- Check-in: requires active connection for real-time verification (this is the security layer)
- Data caching: records are stored locally if connection drops mid-check-in
- Auto-sync: cached records sync automatically when connection restores
- Offline reports: previously loaded reports remain accessible offline
