Employee Time Tracking App with GPS Geolocation, Geofencing



Geofencing for Defining Work Locations and Preventing Unauthorized Clock-Ins with OpenTimeClock

With Open Time Clock, businesses can leverage advanced GPS time tracking software to set up designated clock-in locations, ensuring precise and reliable employee attendance management. Administrators can define fixed clock-in zones using:

  • Device ID lists
  • IP address lists
  • WiFi hotspot lists
  • GPS geofencing zones

By restricting clock-ins to these approved locations, businesses can prevent unauthorized clock-ins from remote or unintended areas, improving workforce accountability and operational efficiency.

How GPS Geofencing Works

Using the GPS geofencing feature, you can define a central point (such as your office, warehouse, or job site) and set a specific radius. Employees can only clock in if they are physically within the geofence using:

  • Mobile devices
  • Browsers (with GPS tracking enabled)

If employees try to clock in outside the geofence, the system automatically blocks the request. This ensures all clock-ins occur at the correct location, preventing fraudulent attendance and ensuring employees are at their worksites.

Key Benefits of GPS-Based Clock-In

  • Prevent Remote Clock-Ins: Restrict clock-ins to approved geofenced areas to stop employees from clocking in from home or unauthorized locations.
  • Improve Transparency: Track clock-in activities with detailed GPS data, including coordinates and street addresses.
  • Optimize Workforce Management: Use Google Maps integration to visualize clock-in zones and employee locations in real-time.
  • Boost Efficiency: Automate geofencing and GPS tracking to eliminate manual verification.

Seamless Setup with Google Maps

Fully integrated with Google Maps, Open Time Clock makes it easy to:

  • Create GPS zones by dragging and dropping markers on the map.
  • Set radius sizes (e.g., 500 meters or 1640 feet).
  • Monitor clock-in locations visually using a map-based interface.

This feature is perfect for companies with multiple locations, field teams, or remote workers, offering accurate, real-time data on workforce activity.
