Geofenced clock-in

Let staff clock in only when they are on site.

Employees clock in from their phone only when they are physically inside a site you defined, with a radius you set per location and every attempt recorded.

Distance that counts

Each site carries its own radius, from a tight office boundary to a wide venue.

INSIDE THE FENCE

Whether a punch counts is decided in one moment.

The phone reports where it is. The site it belongs to decides whether that is close enough, precise enough, and the right person — and keeps the answer either way.

Three things decide it

Distance
The punch is measured against the radius you set for that site.
Accuracy
A position too vague to trust is refused rather than guessed at.
Assignment
Only people assigned to the site can clock in there at all.

Refusals are kept with the distance and the reason, so "it will not let me clock in" has an answer.

THE FOUNDATION

GPS Attendance workflows that stay connected.

Employees clock in from their phone only when they are physically inside a site you defined, with a radius you set per location and every attempt recorded.

01

Sites you define

Each location has its own coordinates and its own radius in meters, so a single office and a large venue can both be fenced sensibly.

02

Only assigned staff

Being assigned to a site is what allows someone to punch there. Nobody else can, even standing on the same premises.

03

Checked on the server

The phone reports where it is; the workspace decides whether that is close enough. The rule never lives on the device.

BUILT FOR CONTROL

Details that make GPS attendance dependable.

Per-site geofence radius

Every location sets its own distance in meters, so a warehouse yard and a small office are both fenced correctly.

Employee site assignment

Only the people assigned to a site can clock in there, which stops a shared building becoming a shared punch clock.

GPS accuracy floor

A punch whose reported accuracy is too vague is refused, so a coarse network-based position cannot stand in for being there.

Refusals you can audit

Every refused attempt is kept with the distance and the reason, so a report of "it will not let me clock in" has an answer.

No extra hardware

Staff use the phone or laptop they already carry, so a temporary site needs nothing bought, mounted or maintained.

Same attendance rules

Accepted punches grade against the same shift, lateness and overtime rules as any other attendance source.

COMMON QUESTIONS

What HR teams usually ask about GPS attendance.

Not unless home sits inside a site you defined and they are assigned to it. Distance is measured on the server against the site coordinates, never decided by the device.

The punch is refused and the employee is told why. You choose the accuracy the workspace will accept; the default refuses anything vaguer than 100 meters.

No. It suits field staff, sites without a terminal and temporary venues. Both feed the same attendance records, so you can run them side by side.

GPS attendance is part of the Enterprise plan.
