Employee attendance management has come a long way from outmoded hand punching to card-based swiping and biometric scanning in recent years. However, as technology advances, there is an even better approach to track employee attendance in a business — geo-location attendance.

The goal of geo-attendance is to streamline the process of monitoring attendance in an organisation. The programme follows the employee’s position using GPS technology, and if the employee is detectable in the defined region (called a Geo-fence) at the appointed time, the attendance is registered.

Let’s take a peek at some of the benefits of adopting Geo Attendance over regular attendance tracking:

1. Remote employees can seamlessly record their attendance

In contrast to fingerprint or card-based attendance tracking systems, this method does not require any machinery. On the employee’s smartphone, an application that tracks attendance can be installed.

This is notably useful in monitoring the attendance of field staff who work in remote places with limited access to attendance infrastructure. The organisation will set up a Geo-fence for the employee, and when the employee enters or exits the establishment (Geo-fence), his attendance will be automatically tracked.

2. A high degree of personalization is attainable

Because there is no hardware and everything is done through a particular application or web browser, it is convenient for businesses to create versatile employee programmes. For example, an organisation can designate specific shifts to an employee depending on geography, and when the person arrives at that area, the firm is alerted, and attendance is recorded.

3. Better Insights = Better Decision Making

During working hours, Geo-attendance allows the business to monitor all of its personnel and make intelligent decisions. This information is available in real time, making it very beneficial for the sales staff. With this data, the business can make a better and healthier choice in case of an exigency.

4. Enhanced employee engagement

It is also a more efficient and reliable method of registering attendance for employees, since they only need to input the Geo-fence rather than manually mark the attendance at a specific machine. Furthermore, this approach is more dependable, assuring the employee that their attendance is correctly logged.

5.Synchronization with other modules is simple

Geo-attendance systems may be readily coupled with an organization’s payroll system and leave modules, resulting in a simple process of automatic payroll administration. Other employee-related modules can also be linked to it if necessary.

Attendance monitoring is critical for all companies. Poor attendance maintenance may lead to inconsistency, loss of production, and client loss for the company, stifling its development and output. As a result, it is critical to use the most recent and cutting-edge technology available for attendance management, which in this case will be a Geo-Attendance system.
