Geofencing attendance system for site-based teams
Draw a boundary around every site and office. Employees can punch in only when they're physically inside it — verified by GPS and face. Run a different fence for every project at the same time.
Per-site fences · adjustable radius · offline-tolerant
Half your team lives near the office. Every morning a few of them mark present from the bus stop, the parking lot, or the flat across the road. Technically they're 'at work'. Actually they're not — and your attendance report can't tell the difference.
A geofencing attendance system ties every punch to a map boundary. In Bazat Tracker the punch button stays disabled until the employee's verified location is inside the fence for their assigned site, so 'near the office' and 'at home' both fail.
What a boundary-based system has to handle
Locking attendance to a location sounds simple until you run it across real sites.
Block 'near the site' marking
The parking lot, the next building and the road outside must all fail the check, not just 'somewhere in the city'.
Many fences at once
Every active project needs its own boundary, running simultaneously, with people assigned across several.
The right radius per site
A tight urban plot and a spread-out campus can't share one radius. It has to be set — and changed — per site.
Weak GPS at the edge
Readings wobble near boundaries and tall structures. Borderline punches need handling, not blind rejection.
Genuine field movement
Engineers who legitimately cross several sites in a day should log each entry and exit, not get penalised.
An auditable record
Entry and exit times per fence should export as proof for payroll, clients and labour audits.
What Bazat Tracker does
The fence isn't a setting you configure once and forget — it's the whole attendance rule.
Per-site geo-fences
Drop a pin, set a radius, and that site has a live boundary. Add as many as you have projects.
Punch-in lock
The punch button is disabled outside the fence and re-enabled the moment the employee is inside it.
Multi-site assignment
Assign one engineer to several fences; each entry and exit is logged separately through the day.
Entry / exit auto-log
Crossing a boundary can auto check-in and check-out, so there's no manual punch to forget.
Borderline → approval
A weak or edge-of-fence reading can be routed to a supervisor instead of being auto-rejected.
Exportable fence logs
Every entry, exit and duration per site exports as a tamper-evident report.
How to set up geofencing attendance
- 1
Drop a pin on each site
Search the address or long-press the map for every office and project location.
- 2
Set the radius
Start at 80–150 m; tighten for congested plots, widen for large campuses. Adjust any time.
- 3
Assign employees
Attach each person to the fence(s) they work. Field roles can hold several.
- 4
Choose entry/exit rules
Decide whether crossing the boundary auto-logs attendance or prompts a manual punch.
- 5
Monitor and adjust
Watch the first week's borderline cases and nudge each radius until it fits the site.

Geofencing attendance — FAQs
It's attendance that only works inside a defined map boundary — a geo-fence — around a workplace or site. Employees can punch in when they're physically within the fence and not from anywhere else, so attendance reflects real presence.
In Bazat Tracker you drop a pin on each site or office, set a radius, and assign employees to it. That's the whole setup — punch-in rules follow the fence from then on. You can run different fences for different sites at the same time.
80–150 metres works for most offices and construction sites. Tighten it to 50–80 m for small or congested urban plots; widen it for large campuses or spread-out project sites. You can adjust any fence at any time without disrupting history.
The punch button stays disabled until the phone's verified location is inside the assigned fence. Being near the office, driving past it, or sitting at home all fail the check, so attendance can't be marked from outside.
Yes. Field engineers and supervisors can be assigned to several sites, and their attendance and site-visit logs are tracked separately for each fence they enter during the day.
Bazat Tracker uses batched, low-power location sampling during shift hours rather than continuous high-accuracy tracking, so the impact on a normal workday is small.
The app filters unreliable fixes and averages a short window before deciding, and captures the event offline if needed. Borderline cases can be sent for supervisor approval rather than auto-rejected.
