Clocking In/Out via Mobile Devices: The geolocation feature in mobile devices registers the location, ensuring that employees are where they should be when they start or end their shift.
Staff Geolocation software like Nextra can significantly enhance HR systems and Time & Attendance management in several ways:
Reduction in Fraud: By accurately tracking the physical location of employees, it minimizes the possibility of time theft and buddy punching, where one employee clocks in for another.
Decrease in Errors: The automation and precision of geolocation reduce human errors in time tracking, leading to more accurate payroll processing.
Efficiency in Processing: Automated location tracking streamlines attendance and time tracking processes, thus reducing the administrative burden and processing time for HR departments.
Overall, such software ensures a more reliable, efficient, and accurate system for managing workforce time and attendance.
๐๐๐จ๐๐๐ง๐๐ข๐ง๐ : This is a key feature where virtual boundaries are set up around a workplace or a specific job site. When an employee enters or leaves the area, the system automatically records the time of entry or exit. This can trigger the clocking-in or out process automatically.
๐๐จ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ข๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง: Geolocation adds an extra layer of verification, ensuring that time tracking is accurate and preventing time theft or ‘buddy punching’ (where one employee clocks in for another).

Geolocation data can be integrated into smart rostering systems. This integration allows for dynamic scheduling, where staff assignments can be adjusted based on their current location, availability, and business needs.
๐๐ง๐ก๐๐ง๐๐๐ ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ค๐๐จ๐ซ๐๐ ๐๐ฅ๐๐ง๐ง๐ข๐ง๐ : By knowing the precise location of staff, managers can make informed decisions when creating rosters. For example, in a retail setting, if there’s an unexpected surge in customers, additional staff nearby can be quickly rostered to manage the workload.
๐๐๐๐ข๐๐ข๐๐ง๐๐ฒ ๐ข๐ง ๐๐๐ฌ๐ค ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐จ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง: In industries like logistics or home services, tasks can be allocated based on the proximity of staff members to the job site, reducing travel time and increasing efficiency.
