Experience Advanced Attendance Tracking with Geofencing on the Digital HRMS Mobile App
Geofencing is a technology which enables you to define a virtual fence over a desired geographical area, so that some sort of trigger is sent every time someone steps into or steps out of the virtual fence defined by you.
Today, there are ample applications of the technology across different industries and sectors. Digital HRMS uses this trending technology to register the working hours as well as the attendance of employees, who are either working remotely, or are outside the office premises for office work. Under normal circumstances, this applies to people who are out of office for market visits, seminars, business events, client meets, etc. However, in a scenario like the current one we’re experiencing today, this technology can make it easy for the enterprises to ensure their employees are safe and working from their homes, or any other pre-defined space.
To make use of the geofencing technology, the Manager needs to define the geofence for the employees and allow permission for automatic attendance updates. Once the geofence is defined, the employees will have their attendance automatically marked if they are within the pre-defined area.
The Digital HRMS app is available for both Android as well as iOS users, and is available for free download. If you’re interested to know more on how Digital HRMS can be your ideal HR Partner to help you sail through the challenging times, then reach out to us on www.digitalhrms.com
