GPS geofenced attendance
Draw a work area on the map for each location. People can clock in and out only where they are supposed to be, or you can let them punch from anywhere and have the odd ones flagged. You choose per location, with a company default.
In plain words
A geofence is a circle on a map around a place of work. Geofenced attendance records where a person was when they clocked in and checks it against that circle. Either the punch is refused when they are outside, or it is recorded and flagged, depending on how strict you want to be.
The point is to make "I was on site" something the system can check rather than something a supervisor has to believe. In dayFlow each location has its own circle, time zone and rule, and the position of the phone is judged together with how accurate the signal is, so a weak signal near the edge is not treated as proof either way.
What you get
Add a location by searching for the place and the map, address and time zone fill in by themselves. Then set the radius. Every person is assigned to the locations they may clock in at.
In practice
Some companies want a hard rule, others want a record. You choose per location, with a company default. When blocked, the person is told why and can ask for a correction instead; when flagged, the punch is kept and goes to review.
In practice
Phones can be told to report a position they are not at. dayFlow detects mock-location apps, notes poor accuracy, and flags a punch that came from a place the person is not assigned to.
In practice
When a site is renamed or its position changed, punches already made keep the site as it was at that moment. A site's time zone cannot change once it has attendance, because every worked day was cut in that zone.
In practice
The difference
Without dayFlow
With dayFlow
Anyone can say they are on site
The phone's position is checked against the work area
A mock-location app fools the clock
Mock locations and a weak signal are detected
Moving a site changes old records
Each punch stores the site as it was at that moment
Examples
A chain of small stores
Each store has a small circle. Staff can only clock in inside it, so nobody clocks in from the car park café, and managers see arrivals per store.
A mobile crew
A landscaping crew visits several customers a day. Every customer is a location with its own circle, and the crew lead clocks the crew in at each one.
A client who asks for proof
A facility company shows the client the punches for a month: each one with the location, the distance from the centre and the result of the check.
The details
How it works
Add your locations and set each work area on the map.
Assign people to the locations they work at.
The app shows who is inside the area and only offers the clock button there when you block outside punches.
Who it is for
Part of a whole
Geofencing pairs with face recognition (right person, right place), with the review queue that collects whatever looks wrong, and with arrival reminders on the phone, which can nudge people to clock in when they reach a work location.
Questions
You choose per location, with a company default: refuse the punch, or keep it and send it for review. A refused person can ask for a correction instead.
The signal's accuracy is taken into account, and a poor one is flagged rather than silently accepted.
Yes. The change counts from that day on, and punches already made keep the name, position and rule they had. A site's time zone cannot change once it has attendance.
Big enough to cover the entrance and the working area, with room for a normal GPS error. Phones cannot watch very small circles reliably, so avoid tiny radii.
The accuracy of the reading is part of the check, and a poor signal is flagged for review rather than failed outright.
Yes. Assign them to each location they may use, and they punch wherever they are.
A manager with the right can add a correction with a reason. It is recorded as a manual entry and audited.
Set up your locations, register faces and let your team clock in. Your company gets its own address.
