Handdy vs HPHRMS Smart Attendance

Handdy tracks employee time and attendance, monitors computer activity, and provides productivity analytics. Its desktop timer records tasks and time, websites visited, applications used, and screenshots. It records logins and logouts, breaks, shifts, and time spent on clients, projects, and tasks. The desktop timer works online or offline and syncs periodically. For mobile teams, GPS tracking saves an employee’s location every minute and keeps location history in the app. Administrators can set circular or building geofences that start a timer when an employee enters and log them out on exit. Handdy lists Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web, and Windows as platforms; its desktop timer supports Windows, Mac, and Linux, and its mobile app links to Apple App Store and Google Play downloads. Plans start at $2.24/user/mo billed annually, with a 30-day trial and no free plan. Pro and Premium list time and attendance management, monitoring, analytics, and custom integrations; Enterprise also lists those areas, with custom work described as organization-specific.

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.
