Mobile attendance puts the attendance device in every employee's pocket. Built for field teams across India, with a 14-day free trial.
Time and Attendance App for Field Teams: overview
This guide covers mobile attendance for field teams: how it works in Attend Mitra, and what to check before you pick a tool.
The short version: Attend Mitra gives you slide to clock in, face and gps checks and leave from the phone, running on employees' Android phones instead of a machine at the door. You can try it free for 14 days without a credit card.
Where mobile attendance goes wrong for field teams
Hardware bottlenecks
A single device per site means queues, breakdowns and staff who can't reach it.
Employees can't see their records
Every attendance or leave question becomes a call to HR.
Permissions not granted
Apps fail at clock-in because camera or location access was never allowed.
New branches wait for devices
Opening a location means waiting for hardware to arrive and be installed.
How mobile attendance works in Attend Mitra
Mobile attendance puts the attendance device in every employee's pocket. With the Attend Mitra Android app, staff slide to clock in and out, apply for leave, check their shifts and see their own attendance history without calling HR.
The app needs camera access for face verification and location access for the geo-fence, and it only applies the checks your company has enabled. For the business, there is no hardware to buy, install or repair at each location, and a new branch can go live as soon as its employees install the app.
What to check before you choose
- Which phones does the app support, and what permissions does it need?
- Can employees apply for leave and see shifts in the same app?
- Does the app explain why a clock-in failed?
- How quickly can a new branch start using it?
- Are verification checks configurable per site?
What field teams get from Attend Mitra
Field teams such as technicians, merchandisers, surveyors and service staff spend most of the day away from any office. For field teams, mobile attendance matters because of a simple problem: there is no fixed door to put an attendance device on, so start times are reported by phone and can't be checked.
Start the day on location
Field staff clock in where their work begins, with GPS confirming the place.
Identity on shared phones
Face verification stops one person clocking in for the whole team.
Hours without phone calls
Managers see who is on duty in the live monitor instead of calling around.
