Manufacturing / shop-floor variant

For customers with field-force or shop-floor teams who need a stripped-down app focused on attendance only — we ship a separate, white-labelled build branded to your company.

  • ● Offline-first punch with client-side IDs (zero loss even on prolonged airplane mode)
  • ● Forced GPS lock — punch impossible without location
  • ● Live GPS trails for outstation visits
  • ● Version-gated — old versions locked out once admin rolls a release
  • ● Battery-aware — interval reduces when battery low
  • ● Selfie verification mandatory on punch-in
  • ● White-labelled with your logo, colours, app name on Play Store / App Store

Built for unreliable networks

Client-side punch IDs

Every punch carries a UUID generated on-device. Server dedups on sync — same UUID never recorded twice, even on retry storms.

Persistent queue

Punches stored in SQLite on-device. Survive app restart, force-close, OS reboot. Synced when network returns.

Selective sync

Punches sync first (priority); large attachments wait for WiFi to save data on cellular plans.

Web push for managers

Browser notifications + mobile push — managers never miss an approval. VAPID-keyed for security.

Mobile PWA fallback

/m/approvals route — installable as a PWA, works on any browser, no app store needed for low-volume users.

Anti-buddy-punch

Optional selfie + face match (configurable per branch). GPS verifies location is plausible.
