Attendance operations

Mobile attendance app for field workers

A mobile attendance app for field workers: check in with a liveness selfie and GPS at the assigned site, keep working offline, and hand reviewed hours to payroll.

A familiar action at the start and end of a shift

Workers install the Attendify Vision app from the App Store or Google Play and set it up once with your company code, their own employee ID and a PIN they choose. The phone is then remembered. Every check-in and check-out after that is PIN-free: the worker taps the button, the app checks the site boundary, and they complete a liveness selfie (a blink on Starter, a randomized head-turn, tilt or blink on Growth).

The attendance record carries the capture time, location, selfie and liveness result. When received, the server checks the worker’s device authorization and applicable attendance requirements before accepting the record. A captured event and an accepted event are different states.

What happens when the day is imperfect

An onboarded phone can save a punch while internet is unavailable. The app shows its pending count and retries when it can connect and run. If the server later refuses a punch, the worker sees the reason and the punch stays in a rejected-records list on the phone for 30 days, so a supervisor can correct genuine work. See the offline attendance app page for the full lifecycle.

No internet connection and no usable location fix are different problems. Offline capture does not remove the need for the app’s capture checks. Initial onboarding and device restoration require connectivity.

From worker action to supervisor review

Imagine a technician completes check-in at a customer site, then loses connectivity before checkout. The phone may hold the checkout locally while the dashboard still shows the last accepted check-in. Once the event is accepted, it can contribute to the timesheet. If it is rejected, a supervisor reviews the situation and can record a reasoned correction.

That is a record of attendance evidence, not proof of continuous presence, completion of a service job or payable travel time. Those decisions need the company’s work policies and review process.

Plan the first use

The worker app is free to install from the Apple App Store and Google Play, and a workspace starts with a 7-day free trial, no credit card needed. Before the first shift, confirm camera and location permissions on the crew's phones, the actual site entrance, connectivity for first-time setup and a named supervisor for exceptions.
