GPS Attendance App
with Geofence & Selfie

Stop buddy punching. Every clock-in is verified by GPS location, restricted by geofence, and confirmed by a selfie photo — all from your employees' phones.

How Zilonex GPS attendance works

  1. Admin sets locations. Drop a pin on your office, warehouse, site, or store on the admin dashboard map. Set the radius (e.g. 50 metres).
  2. Employees open the app. They tap "Clock In" on their phone.
  3. Location + selfie check. The app reads their GPS coordinates and captures a selfie. Both are timestamped.
  4. Geofence verified. If they are inside your geofence, clock-in succeeds. If not, it's blocked and the reason is shown.
  5. Audit-ready record. Every attendance event is saved with exact GPS coordinates, timestamp, and photo — permanent, exportable, dispute-proof.

Why GPS attendance matters

Buddy punching — one employee clocking in for another — costs businesses billions every year. Manual attendance registers and honour-system time tracking are impossible to audit. Paper-based methods are lost, edited, or falsified.

GPS attendance with geofence and selfie verification eliminates all three problems in a single system. Every clock-in event is location-verified, photo-verified, and timestamped. Employees can prove they were present when it matters. Employers can prove they weren't when it matters. Both sides win.

Frequently asked questions

What is a GPS attendance app?

A GPS attendance app is a mobile application that records employee clock-in and clock-out events using the phone's GPS location. It verifies the employee is physically at an approved work location before accepting the clock-in, creating a timestamped and location-verified attendance record.

How does geofence attendance work?

A geofence is a virtual boundary around a physical location. When an employee clocks in, the app checks whether their GPS coordinates fall inside the geofence. If they do, the clock-in is accepted. If they are outside the boundary, the clock-in is rejected with an on-screen message.

Does GPS attendance drain phone battery?

No. Zilonex only reads GPS at the moment of clock-in — not continuously in the background. Battery impact is negligible.

Can employees fake GPS location?

Zilonex detects mock-location apps and blocks clock-ins that come from spoofed GPS. Combined with the selfie capture, this creates a very strong verification chain.
