GPS Attendance

GPS attendance that your field teams can't fake

Employees clock in from the DigiHR mobile app. Each punch is checked against a geofence, stamped with GPS coordinates and confirmed with a selfie — so you know who was where, and when, without buying biometric machines for every site.

What you get

Geofenced clock-ins

Set a radius around each office, factory or store. Office-based staff can only punch in within their assigned location; field staff can punch in from anywhere, with location recorded.

Selfie verification

A photo is captured with every clock-in and clock-out, making buddy punching visible and easy to audit.

Out-of-radius alerts

Periodic location checks during work hours can alert chosen managers by email when an office employee is detected outside their geofence.

Tamper-proof audit trail

Every punch keeps its timestamp, coordinates and photo. Corrections go through regularisation requests that managers approve.

Shifts and holidays

Assign shifts, weekly offs and holiday calendars per location so late marks and half-days are calculated correctly.

Straight into payroll

Present days, leave and loss of pay flow into payroll automatically — no exporting spreadsheets at month end.

Frequently asked questions

How does a GPS attendance app prevent fake check-ins?

DigiHR combines three checks on every punch: the device's GPS location must fall inside an approved geofence, a selfie is captured, and the time is recorded by the system rather than typed in. Together these make proxy attendance and "punching from home" easy to spot.

Can field staff punch in away from the office?

Yes. Employees marked as field staff can punch in from any location — their GPS position and selfie are still recorded with every punch. Office-based staff must be within their assigned geofence.

Is GPS attendance better than biometric attendance?

For teams spread across sites, in the field or working hybrid, GPS attendance avoids buying and maintaining a device at every location. Biometric machines still suit a single large facility with one entry point. We compare both in detail in GPS attendance vs biometric.

Do you track employees all day?

Attendance captures location at clock-in and clock-out. Periodic location checks during working hours are covered under field employee tracking, and they stop automatically when the employee punches out.
