Mobile Attendance with Face Recognition

A mobile attendance app lets workers mark attendance from a smartphone using face recognition and GPS validation, instead of a fixed biometric terminal. For contract workforces it solves the sites a gate can't serve — construction corridors, road projects, distributed depots — where attendance evidence is otherwise a paper muster.

Three checks run together: on-device face match against the enrolled identity, GPS validation against the site geofence, and timestamp verification. A punch outside the geofence, or by a face that doesn't match, is flagged rather than recorded.

Punches and their verification data are captured on-device when the network drops and sync automatically once connectivity returns — which matters on project sites where coverage is unreliable.

Yes. Mobile events carry worker identity, timestamp, and location into the same registers and reports as gate-based attendance, so Form V/XIII records and statutory filings are generated identically regardless of capture method.

Yes — the same app gives workers self-service access to attendance history, leave applications, payslips, and where enabled, earned wage access to withdraw wages already earned before payday.

Approve exceptions, authorise overtime, view live team attendance across sites, and receive push escalations on threshold breaches — without logging into the desktop system.

Fixed readers suit high-density plant gates where throughput and physical enforcement matter — see face recognition attendance. Mobile suits moving or distributed sites. Most infrastructure clients run both on one platform, so a worker's identity and records stay unified whichever method captured the shift.

Worker-owned devices are the common case for supervisory and skilled roles. For workforces where phone ownership is inconsistent, supervisor-operated capture on a shared device works the same way — the face match identifies the worker, not the phone.

Location is captured at the moment of punch as verification evidence, not tracked continuously. Retention follows your policy, and handling aligns with DPDP Act obligations.

Infrastructure and metro construction, road and pipeline projects, distributed warehouses and depots, field service teams, and any BOCW-regulated worksite where the workforce moves between locations weekly and no fixed gate exists.
