Where your people work decides which way of taking attendance will work best.

  1. 01 An office or a factory: a device
  2. 02 A field team: the phone, with GPS
  3. 03 Both together

The first question in choosing how to take attendance is simple: where do your people spend most of the day? If everyone works in one office, one device is enough. If a team is out in the field or at customers' sites, you will need attendance on the phone.

An office or a factory: a device

On a fingerprint or face device nobody can punch in for someone else, and the queue moves quickly. A device on the internet sends each punch straight in; an older device can be connected through an office PC.

A field team: the phone, with GPS

Staff in sales, delivery or on site punch in from their phone, and their location is checked as they do. Decide in advance which places punches may come from.

Both together

Most companies need both: devices for the office, phones for the field. When both kinds of punch land in the same count, there is nothing to reconcile at the month's end.
