attendfirst
Attendance for Indian teams without the machine on the wall. Staff mark themselves in from the phone they already own. You see the day from your laptop.
the problem
A register, a machine, or an HR suite.
Until now a business with thirty people had three options for tracking attendance. Keep a paper register and trust it. Buy a biometric machine for around ₹15,000, mount it, wire it, and replace it when it breaks. Or sign up for an HR platform that also wants to run your payroll, your hiring and your appraisals, and charges accordingly.
AttendFirst is the fourth option. It does attendance and leave, it runs in a browser, and a team of five uses it for nothing.
how check-in works
Pick the one that suits the site. A field team isn't a factory gate, and neither is a clinic front desk.
gps
Confirms the person is at the site, the shop or the client's office when they mark themselves in.
selfie
Confirms it's the right person, which is the one thing a shared register can't do.
qr
A code at the gate for teams who would rather tie attendance to a fixed point.
