Know Who Is Working, Where They Are Working and When They Worked

Accurate attendance information is the foundation of effective workforce management and payroll.

Bapple Software Solutions provides Odoo-based attendance solutions ranging from straightforward employee clock-in and clock-out to advanced attendance processes incorporating facial attendance, geolocation, rosters, shifts, sites and payroll integration.

Whether your employees work from an office, factory, construction site, client premises or multiple security sites, we can design an attendance process around the way your workforce actually operates.

More Than a Clocking System


Traditional attendance systems tell you when somebody clocked in.

Modern businesses often need considerably more information.

You may need to know:

  • Who clocked in?
  • When did they clock in?
  • Where were they?
  • Were they scheduled to work?
  • *Which site or shift were they assigned to?*
  • *Did they actually complete the expected hours?*
  • *Should those hours flow through to payroll?*

Facial Attendance

Use Facial Recognition as Part of the Attendance Process


For organisations that require greater control over employee attendance, facial attendance can provide an additional method of verifying who is actually clocking in or out.
Depending on the solution and implementation, employees can use a compatible device to register attendance using facial verification.

This can help reduce problems associated with:

* Employees clocking in for one another
* Shared PIN numbers
* Lost attendance cards
* Forgotten access cards
* Manual attendance registers
* Uncertainty over who actually recorded the attendance

The attendance transaction can then become part of the employee's electronic attendance history.

Attendance with Geolocation

Verify Where Attendance Was Recorded

For employees working away from a central office, knowing that someone clocked in may not be enough.

Attendance can be configured to capture *geolocation information* when an employee records attendance from a supported device and location services are available and permitted.

This provides additional context to the attendance transaction.

For example:

Employee Facial verification Clock in Time Location Attendance record
 This can be particularly valuable for organisations with employees working at:
  • Customer premises
  • Security sites
  • Construction sites
  • Remote workplaces
  • Branches
  • Warehouses
  • Field locations
  • Temporary work locations

Facial attendance + geolocation

Verify the person and the place

Combining facial attendance with geolocation is a stronger control than simply recording a time — it helps supervisors and payroll administrators investigate discrepancies with confidence.

Mobile & site-based attendance

Not everyone reports to the same building every morning

Employees and authorised supervisors can record attendance from whatever device fits the site — feeding one central Odoo environment instead of separate paper registers at the end of the payroll period.

Attendance by site

More than just hours worked

Attendance can be linked to the operational context that gives it meaning.

Attendance exceptions

Focus attention on what's actually wrong

Instead of checking every employee every day, the system surfaces the exceptions that need a human look.

Did not clock in
Arrived late
Left early
Worked longer than scheduled
Clocked in, not rostered
Rostered, no attendance
Incorrect work location
Missing clock-out
Overlapping attendance
Verification sources

One trusted record, not one assumed source

Some industries need more than one signal to confirm someone actually worked. Bapple can bring several sources together into a verified attendance record.

Geolocation
Rosters
Timesheets
Supervisor records
Posting sheets
Supporting photographs
Operational records
Leave records
Manual corrections
Attendance & leave

Context before an absence becomes a problem

If someone was scheduled but has no attendance, there may be a perfectly good reason.

  • Annual leave
  • Sick leave
  • Family responsibility leave
  • Unpaid leave
  • Another approved absence
Attendance & payroll

Hours worked, hours paid

Attendance feeds straight into how people get paid.

Ordinary hours Overtime Night shifts Sunday work Public holidays Unpaid absence Late arrival Allowances

Questionable attendance gets resolved, not paid out

Security industry attendance

Guards, sites and shifts, all connected

Guards distributed across customer sites, working different grades, shifts and schedules — tied together end to end.
