Attendance software with
geo-location & selfie check-in.
For field staff, security guards, delivery teams and multi-branch businesses, a punch-in time alone doesn't prove anyone was where they said. Here's how selfie + GPS attendance fixes that.
If your team isn't sitting at one desk — field sales, security guards on rotation, delivery staff, or a business with multiple branches — a wall-mounted biometric machine doesn't help you. That's the gap attendance software with geo-location and selfie check-in is built to close, and it's one of the most common feature searches from Indian businesses in security, transport, and multi-location retail.
How it works
An employee opens a mobile app at the start of their shift. The app captures a live selfie and the device's GPS coordinates at that exact moment, then logs both against the check-in time. A manager reviewing attendance sees not just "checked in at 9:04 AM" but a photo and a map pin confirming who checked in and from where — which is much harder to fake than a shared login or a buddy punching in for someone else.
Who actually needs this
- Security agencies — verifying guards are at their assigned site, not just logged in from anywhere. See CRM Force for security agencies.
- Transport & logistics — drivers and field crews spread across routes. See CRM Force for transport & logistics.
- Contractors & infra — labour and site supervisors across multiple project sites. See CRM Force for contractors & infra.
- Finance & broking field staff — agents and relationship managers visiting clients. See finance & loan agencies and broking & financial services.
- Multi-branch retail and services — any business with more than one physical location and no single reception desk to track who's in.
What to check before choosing one
- Does it work offline and sync later, for staff in low-connectivity areas?
- Is attendance tied directly to payroll, or does someone re-enter it manually each month?
- Can you set a geo-fence radius per site, so a check-in outside the allowed zone is flagged?
- Is it bundled with the rest of your business software, or a standalone app you're managing separately?
CRM Force includes selfie + GPS attendance as part of its HRMS module on every plan, connected directly to payroll — no separate attendance app or manual re-entry. It's part of the same platform as CRM, GST billing and inventory across all 18 supported industries.
