Capture
Face, fingerprint, RFID, card or geo-fenced mobile punch at the gate or on the road.
Attendance & HRM suite
Attendance that becomes payroll — without a second register.
SmartConnect HRMS joins face recognition, biometric devices, selfie + GPS mobile punch, shift rosters, leave policies and India-ready payroll on one employee record.
A punch becomes attendance, attendance becomes payable days, and payable days become a payslip — so HR, managers and finance share the same truth.
- ✓Less proxy punching with face, finger and geo-fence rules
- ✓Live attendance map for distributed and multi-site teams
- ✓Leave, OT and regularisation on the same day record
- ✓PF, ESI, PT and TDS-ready payroll handoff
What it is
What is an Attendance & HRM suite?
A cloud people system that captures presence, applies shift and leave rules, and feeds salary — on web and mobile.
Validate
Late, early, missing punch, OT and on-duty exceptions against published shift rules.
Approve
Leave, regularisation and claims move through manager workflows before payroll closes.
Pay
Accepted days drive salary structures, statutory deductions, payslips and bank files.
Product workflow
How attendance becomes pay.
From device or phone punch to a trusted day record and payslip.
Typical workflow Enrolment → Device / Mobile Punch → Validation & Geo Rules → Shift & Leave → Payroll Calculation → Payslip & Reports
Punch in

Capture that fits the site — office, plant or field.

Module process
How each module runs day to day.
Working sequences from first enrolment to a record management can trust.
Enrolment
The person is known before the first punch is accepted.
- Create the employee or student.
- Enrol face, finger, RFID card or the verified mobile number.
- Set the site, the shift and the allowed location.
- Test one punch before the method goes live.
Device attendance
A terminal at the gate captures face, finger or card.
- The person presents face, finger or RFID.
- The terminal matches the template.
- IN or OUT time is sent to the cloud.
- The dashboard shows the punch and the hours.
Mobile and GPS attendance
Field and work-from-home staff punch from the phone.
- The employee signs in on the verified number.
- The app reads GPS and, where required, a selfie.
- The punch is accepted only inside the geo-tagged location.
- Hours and the punch map appear for the supervisor.
Geo-fencing
A punch outside the workplace is not treated as presence.
- Mark the work location on the map.
- Set the allowed radius.
- Reject or flag a punch outside it.
- Review exceptions before payroll.
Shifts and contract labour
Hours follow the roster, including contract shifts.
- Publish the shift or the roster.
- Match punches to that shift.
- Calculate late, early and worked hours.
- Show the result on the live dashboard.
Leave from the same attendance record
Leave and presence cannot disagree.
- The employee applies on the app.
- The manager approves or rejects.
- Approved leave updates the day.
- The balance stays visible to the employee.
School and college attendance
Staff and students are marked without a paper register.
- Staff punch on face, finger or RFID.
- Faculty mark a class from the phone, or students tap a card.
- Parents or management see the day.
- Weekly and monthly reports export when needed.
Multi-location
Branches report to one cloud portal without a server in each branch.
- Install a Wi-Fi device or use the app at the branch.
- Punches push to the same portal.
- Head office watches every branch live.
- Reports run across one location or all of them.
Payroll handoff
Accepted attendance is what payroll is allowed to use.
- Close the day or the month.
- Review missing punches and late marks.
- Transfer the data by API or by report.
- Payroll calculates from that file, not from a second register.
Visitors, cards and security
People who are not employees still pass through a controlled door.
- A visitor checks in by QR, kiosk or the front desk.
- A pass is issued and the host is told.
- Material can move on a gate pass.
- Checkout, photos and the report remain for audit.
