Attendance Problems We See in Indore
Pithampur plants 30 km from the Indore office
HR sits in Vijay Nagar while three shifts run in Pithampur; gate registers reach the office days later and overtime is contested.
Field sales and distribution staff unverifiable
Trading houses in Siyaganj and pharma distributors send teams across Indore and Dewas; visit claims are taken on trust.
MP professional tax slabs applied inconsistently
Payroll in Excel misses slab changes as salaries cross ₹18,750 or ₹25,000 per month, causing under-deduction.
IT teams on flexible hours with no shift logic
Companies at Crystal IT Park and the Super Corridor run flexible and night support shifts that fixed 09:30 grace rules mislabel as late.
How Attend Mitra Fits Indore Workplaces
Plant gate kiosks synced to the head office
Face kiosks or biometric devices at Pithampur gates push punches to the Indore console instantly; overtime is approved by the shift in-charge.
GPS visit check-in for sales teams
Field staff check in at customer locations with GPS and selfie; managers see routes covered on the live monitor with fake-GPS flagged.
MP PT slabs in payroll settings
Madhya Pradesh professional tax slabs are configured by monthly salary band and applied automatically each month, including the adjusted final-month amount.
Flexible and night shift templates
IT teams get flexi-windows and night templates crossing midnight, so late marks follow the assigned shift rather than a fixed office time.
Attendance Features Indore Teams Use Most
Face kiosk and biometric sync
Shared tablets and existing devices at Pithampur and Sanwer Road gates feed one record.

From Check-In to Payroll-Ready Reports
Map plants, gates and contractors
Create each unit as a branch, draw a geofence around the gate, and tag workers as permanent or by contractor so muster rolls stay separate.
Publish three-shift rosters
Build A, B and C shifts with grace periods and crossing-midnight rules, then publish the weekly roster to workers' phones or the gate kiosk.
Workers punch at the gate
Face recognition on a shared tablet, biometric device sync, or a QR scan records in and out with a liveness check to block proxies.
Supervisors handle exceptions
Missed punches, early exits and overtime beyond the shift go to the supervisor for approval with a full audit trail.
Export payroll and compliance registers
Download contractor-wise man-days, overtime at double rate, and muster-roll style registers for wages, PF and ESIC filing.
Why Indore Businesses Switch
MP statutory deductions handled
Professional tax by slab and Madhya Pradesh Labour Welfare Fund contributions are applied per branch without spreadsheet formulas.
Pithampur visible from Indore
Live gate data replaces the register that travelled on the company bus; overtime is approved the same day.
Sales visits with location proof
Distribution teams' check-ins carry coordinates and time, which also supports travel-allowance claims.
Flexible IT hours without false late marks
Shift templates with flexi-windows judge lateness correctly for Super Corridor and Crystal IT Park teams.
Contractor man-days at pharma plants
Contract workers tagged by contractor so man-days and wage registers are exportable for principal-employer records.
Trade-friendly onboarding
Trading houses import staff lists from Excel and start GPS or QR attendance the same day, with a 14-day free trial.
Local Scenarios in Indore
Pharma formulation plant, Pithampur
