What is Smart Attendance Tracking Software?
Attendance tracking brings together check-in records, shifts, approved leave and corrections. AccoNova supports browser/PWA attendance workflows with configurable location and selfie controls where enabled. GPS accuracy depends on the device, permissions, signal and environment; administrators must review exceptions before payroll.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. How does GPS geo-fencing attendance work in AccoNova HRMS?
GPS geo-fencing creates a virtual geographical boundary around your office or site coordinates. When an employee attempts to clock in via the mobile app, the system matches their current GPS location against the defined radius. Check-in is approved only if they are physically within the authorized boundary.
Q2. Can field sales and remote employees mark attendance outside office premises?
Yes! AccoNova HRMS features an Outdoor Duty (OD) and Field Tracking module. Field sales executives and site technicians can submit geotagged check-ins with client location notes and selfie verification directly from their smartphones.
Q3. How does AccoNova prevent buddy punching or proxy attendance?
Geofencing, selfie capture and device controls can help reduce proxy attendance. They cannot prove every punch is genuine. Review exceptions and provide a correction process when devices or location permissions fail.
Q4. Is expensive biometric hardware required to use AccoNova attendance tracking?
No hardware is required. Organizations can use mobile GPS geo-fencing for remote and field staff, web portal check-ins for office employees, or convert any existing Android or iOS tablet into an attendance kiosk.
Q5. How does attendance data sync with monthly payroll and statutory compliance?
AccoNova HRMS automatically aggregates daily attendance logs, leaves, and late marks into monthly Loss of Pay (LOP) figures. These figures immediately update the payroll engine to calculate gross salaries, EPF ECR text file exports, ESI deductions, and net payouts.
