When to Use GPS Attendance
GPS attendance is ideal for sales teams, delivery crews, construction sites, and any role where employees work away from a fixed office. Attend Mitra captures latitude and longitude at check-in time and validates it against your configured geo-fences.
The mobile app requests location permission once and uses it only during attendance marking — not continuous background tracking.
- Field sales and service technicians at client sites
- Multi-location retail and warehouse operations
- Remote workers who occasionally visit the office
Configuring Geo-Fences Effectively
Draw site boundaries in the Attend Mitra map editor or enter coordinates manually. Start with a 100–200 m radius and adjust based on GPS accuracy at each location. Urban areas with tall buildings may need a slightly larger radius.
Assign geo-fence rules per employee group: mandatory GPS for field staff, optional for hybrid workers, disabled for office-only teams using face kiosks.
- Create separate fences for each client site or branch
- Set different radii for indoor vs outdoor locations
- Review location audit logs monthly for anomalies
Balancing Accuracy and Employee Trust
Communicate clearly that GPS is used only at check-in and check-out, not for continuous monitoring. Attend Mitra stores location snapshots — not live tracking — and admins can configure who sees location data.
Combine GPS with face verification for the strongest fraud prevention without sacrificing employee privacy.
