Unlock Real-Time Efficiency with
Geofencing Attendance

Audi Coimbatore, a busy car showroom, faced challenges in keeping track of its employees’ attendance, both in the office and during their travels. They needed a better system than the old fingerprint biometric method, especially due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Office employees had to stand in long queues to mark their attendance, which was time-consuming. Field employees had no way to mark their attendance, and HR had to rely on calls and messages to track them. Manual data entry for attendance records was a tedious task, and monitoring employees’ movements and tasks was difficult.

Audi’s sales team also struggled to validate their on-duty check-ins and check-outs. Managers and HR had to handle many employee requests and approvals manually. Shift changes and work status monitoring were challenging, and managers needed real-time data.

To solve these problems, Audi implemented the geofencing app:

1. **Real-Time Attendance**: Employees could now mark their attendance using face recognition on the app, which was touchless and COVID-compliant.

2. **OTP Verification**: Management could verify attendance with OTPs sent to employees, ensuring accuracy.

3. **Multi-Location Check-In/Out**: Geofences were set up around the office and project sites to track employee check-ins and check-outs. QR codes and MPINs allowed offline check-ins and check-outs.

4. **Shift Notifications**: The app sent automatic alerts to managers or HR regarding productive and unproductive time. Shift timings and changes could be viewed and updated on the app.

5. **Geofence Attendance**: Sales employees’ check-ins at appointment locations were tracked, and GPS alerts were sent.

6. **Complete Dashboard**: Managers and HR could manage tasks, view alerts, and monitor employee activities on the dashboard.

The results were impressive:

-Replaced the old biometric system with face recognition, saving on hardware costs.
– Attendance records for all employees were easily managed on a single app.
– Field employees’ activities were efficiently tracked.
– Detailed reports and real-time updates were available through the app.
– Attendance and tracking management became automated.

In short, geofencing app helped Audi Coimbatore streamline attendance tracking, improve efficiency, and enhance employee management.
