HPHRMS Smart Attendance records employee clock-ins and clock-outs from a phone and checks each punch against the assigned worksite. The server validates GPS coordinates, accuracy, and distance. When geofencing is enabled, punches outside the configured boundary are rejected with the distance shown, and punches without location are refused. Employees can optionally attach selfie evidence at clock-in and clock-out. Configurable start times and grace minutes determine late arrivals; the module calculates working hours and overtime at punch-out. Employees can review monthly attendance history and download a report, and attendance data and reports can be exported as CSV. Attendance is listed in the Admin, Employee, and Client portals. The service is available on Android, iOS, and web, and is described as an installable experience for desktop, tablet, or smartphone. Its free plan is listed for up to 25 employees; plan prices are available by contacting the maker. Selfies are stored on the deployment filesystem, with availability depending on configuration. ERP and accounting connectors such as SAP, Tally, and Zoho are not implemented.
