Geofencing & GPS

A geofencing time clock app that ends off-site clock-ins

Set a boundary around each site on a map. Every clock-in records its distance from the site, and anyone clocking in from down the road is flagged before the hour ever reaches a timesheet.

A typical on-site clock-in lands within 50m of the site centre, and the distance is recorded against the hour, every time.

01/The problem

If a clock-in can happen anywhere, it tells you nothing

A timestamp on its own does not prove someone was where they were meant to be. Without a location, the gaps are easy to miss and quietly expensive.

Clocking in from the car park, or home

A worker clocks in on the way in, or before they have left the house, and the hour starts before the work does. The minutes add up across a site.

One worker covering for another

Buddy-punching only needs a shared phone or a borrowed login. A timestamp cannot tell you whether the right person was actually on site.

No answer when a client asks "who is here?"

A client or a fire officer asks who is on site, and a list of clock-in times is not the same as a register of who is actually present, where.

02/How it works

Draw the boundary once, check it on every clock-in

Each site gets a geofence, a centre point and a radius you set on a map. From then on, the location is part of the clock-in, not an afterthought.

  • Set the fence on a map

    Drop a pin on the site and choose a radius, tight for a single building, wider for a yard or a campus. Each site can have its own boundary.

  • Capture location at clock-in

    When a worker clocks in, the kiosk reports its GPS position and how accurate it is. A reading that is too imprecise to trust is flagged for review.

  • Measure the distance

    The distance from the site centre is calculated and kept with the clock: 50 metres reads very differently from 3 kilometres.

  • Flag what falls outside

    In warning mode an off-site clock is accepted but flagged, and can email the right manager. In strict mode it is refused, and the refusal is logged.

03/Buddy-punching, designed out

The right person, in the right place

Geofencing answers where. Face verification answers who. Put the two together and the two oldest ways to game a clock-in stop working at once.

Wrong place is caught

A clock-in from outside the boundary is flagged with its distance, so an hour logged 3km away never passes quietly.

Wrong person is caught

The face has to match the enrolled worker and pass liveness, so clocking in for a colleague does not work even on site.

Both, on every hour

The location and the match score travel together to the timesheet, so each hour carries proof of who and where.

04/What you get back

A live register, and a heads-up the moment something is off

See who is on each site right now, and hear about an off-site clock before a client or an auditor does.

A live register

See everyone on each site right now, including night shifts after midnight, ready to print for a roll call or an evacuation.

Hours you can prove

The distance is logged with every kiosk clock, so a disputed hour comes with a location, not just a time.

Off-site, never silent

Out-of-bounds clocks are flagged, or refused in strict mode, and can email the right manager, so the exception is reviewed, not buried.

Nothing extra to carry

GPS comes from the kiosk tablet, or the worker's phone where phone clock-in is switched on. There is no separate tracker or beacon to fit.
