Eliminate Buddy Punching and Geo-Fraud Instantly
For Indian enterprises and MSMEs, manual attendance registers and unverified spreadsheets are a major source of leakage, leading to ghost hours and inflated payroll costs. AccoNova solves this by combining live GPS capturing, facial selfie confirmation, and hardware device binding into a single fraud-proof punch-in flow. Every punch is compared against a pre-set work location's geo-fence boundary using the Haversine formula, completely stopping mock location spoofing. All attendance data syncs automatically to compile monthly wages, late-coming penalties, and OT.
"We designed our GPS and selfie attendance engine specifically for the constraints of Indian field teams and multi-shift factories. Buddy punching and spoofer apps are now a thing of the past."
Proof of Savings & Integrity
Enterprise-Grade Attendance Integrity Systems
Selfie + GPS Geo-Fence Punch with Anti-Spoofing
Every punch captures a live selfie, real-time GPS coordinates, and validates against the assigned work location's configurable geo-fence radius (Haversine formula). Fake GPS apps are detected and rejected automatically via mock location detection — making buddy punching physically impossible.
Device Binding & IP Whitelisting
After the first punch, the employee's device ID is permanently bound to their profile. Any attempt to punch from a different device is flagged as a fraud event. Admins can additionally whitelist specific office IP addresses so only on-premises punches are accepted.
Late Coming Policy Engine (Count-Based & Minutes-Based)
Configure two policy modes: Count-Based (e.g., 3 late arrivals = 0.25 day deduction) or Minutes-Based (e.g., 60 late minutes accumulated = 0.5 day deduction). Grace buffers, deduction thresholds, and amounts are all configurable per designation — giving you a fair, automated discipline system.
Sandwich & Half-Day Detection on Auto-Pilot
AccoNova auto-detects when an employee is absent on both sides of a weekend or holiday and marks the intervening off-day as absent (LWP), preventing misuse. It also auto-identifies first-half, second-half, short leave, and quarter-day scenarios based on punch timestamps.
Overtime Tracking with Fixed or Percentage Rates
When enabled, the system calculates overtime hours as soon as worked duration exceeds shift hours plus a buffer. Choose Fixed rate (₹/hour) or Percentage of Basic/Gross. OT data flows automatically into the payroll engine for accurate monthly compensation — no manual OT claim sheets required.
Dynamic Shift Rostering & Shift Command Center
Assign multiple shifts (Morning, Night, General) to employees via a weekly grid view. Managers see the entire week's deployment at a glance and can bulk-assign or copy shift rows. The attendance engine auto-detects each employee's assigned shift per day — critical for factories and 24/7 operations.
Interactive Punch Map & Visual GPS Logs
Visualize employee routes and locations in real-time. Admins get a dynamic dashboard displaying punch markers on an interactive map. Instantly spot location anomalies and trace field movements with high precision.
Payroll-Ready Sync & Ledger Exports
Compile and audit employee timecards. Export complete monthly logs including late minutes, overtime, and leave deductions into Excel sheets compatible with national banks. One-click sync ports attendance stats straight to the payroll module.
Mobile QR Sync & On-the-Go Punching
Empower staff on the go. Employees scan a secure, admin-generated QR code or access the PWA portal on their smartphones to punch in. No expensive biometric hardware, fingerprint readers, or cards required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can we track field employees on the move?
Yes. In addition to fixed office geo-fencing, AccoNova's mobile QR and GPS-based punches verify the exact longitude and latitude of each submission, plotting them on a live map.
How does the system block fake GPS apps?
AccoNova detects mock location providers active in the browser sandboxing layer. If an employee uses an app to spoof their coordinates, the system denies the punch.
What happens if an employee forgets to punch in?
HR or designated managers can perform a manual punch correction under strict role-based permission control, maintaining a complete log of edits.
Can we set different grace periods for late coming?
Yes, you can configure count-based or minutes-based late deduction policies with custom buffer minutes (e.g., 10 minutes grace) and apply them globally or by designation.
Real-Time Tracking Built for India's Diverse Workforce
Whether you manage a sales team spread across multiple Indian cities, a logistics group on the move, or a factory with rotating shifts, AccoNova provides the exact infrastructure to enforce discipline and ensure transparency. Ditch biometric hardware that breaks down and transitions to a cloud-based attendance system that works on any smartphone browser.
