GPS attendance for field staff — one tap in, one tap out

Your field staff never come to the office, so registers and biometric machines don’t work for them. With PinField they tap Start day on their phone, and you get the time and GPS location of every start and finish.

  • No selfies, no registers
  • Late-start alerts on WhatsApp

How it works

A full attendance record from two taps

  1. Start day

    The employee taps Start day. PinField records the time and GPS location, and begins tracking the work day.

  2. During the day

    You see them as in field, stationary or offline on the dashboard. Nobody has to send a location pin.

  3. End day

    The employee taps End day. The finish time and location are recorded, tracking stops, and the day lands in your report.

Why switch

Better than selfies in a WhatsApp group

Selfie attendance proves someone had their phone at 9:30. It says nothing about when they finished, how far they travelled or where they spent the day. GPS attendance does.

  • Start and finish, both verified

    Every work day has a GPS-stamped start and end, not just a morning check-in.

  • Late starts flagged for you

    Pick a reminder time and get a WhatsApp alert when someone hasn’t started.

  • Hours and km together

    Each day shows hours worked and distance travelled — the numbers travel allowance depends on.

  • Corrections on the record

    Managers can fix a forgotten day; every change is saved with who made it and why.

FAQ

GPS attendance questions

More answers on the home page and the pricing page.

How does GPS attendance work for field employees?

The employee taps Start day in the PinField app when their work day begins and End day when it finishes. Each tap records the time and the GPS location, and the day appears in your attendance report with hours worked and distance travelled.

What if an employee forgets to end their day?

The next morning the app asks them to close the open day before starting a new one. Managers can also correct a work day, and every correction is saved with a note in the audit log.

Can I get an alert when someone starts late?

Yes. Set a reminder time, and PinField sends a WhatsApp alert to the employee’s manager and to you if they haven’t started their day by then.

Can I export attendance for payroll?

Yes. Export attendance for any date range to CSV and open it in Excel or Google Sheets, or import it into your payroll software.
