MULTI-TENANT GEO-FENCING ATTENDANCE SYSTEM

Project Overview

Multi-Tenant Geo-Fencing Attendance System is an Android application designed for companies that need to manage employee attendance based on their actual office location.

The application manages employee attendance using office-based geo-fencing, selfie submission, attendance timing, and company approval workflows. Employees can submit attendance from the configured workplace area, while authorized company users can review attendance requests and manage employee-related information.

If the employee is inside the company's configured office area, the attendance request can be submitted. If the employee is outside the allowed location, the attendance is not accepted.

The system also gives the company control over attendance approval, employee tasks, attendance history and working-time rules.


ABOUT THE APPLICATION

The application is designed for organizations that need attendance records to be associated with a configured workplace location.

Instead of relying only on a manual check-in action, the application combines location verification, selfie submission, and attendance timing as part of the attendance workflow. In this system, attendance is connected with two important checks:

SELFIE + LOCATION + ATTENDANCE TIME

The company can configure its office location and define the allowed area around it. When an employee tries to mark attendance, the app checks whether they are within that area.

The submitted attendance then goes to the company for review and approval.

MULTI-TENANT ARCHITECTURE

The application is designed to support multiple organizations within the same platform while keeping each organization's employees, attendance records, office settings, and tasks separated.

Each company can manage its own:

  • Employees
  • Office location
  • Attendance records
  • Attendance timings
  • Employee tasks
  • Attendance history

Each organization's data is handled within its own tenant context so employee and attendance information remains associated with the correct organization.


Main Features

Selfie-Based Attendance

Employees can submit a selfie as part of the attendance process. The submitted image is associated with the attendance request and can be reviewed through the company's attendance workflow.

The basic process is:

text
Employee
   ↓
Take Selfie
   ↓
Capture Current Location
   ↓
Check Office Geofence
   ↓
Submit Attendance

Geo-Fencing

The application checks the employee's current location against the company's configured office location.

The company has an allowed area around the office.

For example:

text
              Office Area
        ┌───────────────────┐
        │                   │
        │     COMPANY       │
        │      OFFICE       │
        │         ●         │
        │                   │
        └───────────────────┘
                ↑
          Employee Location

If the employee is within the allowed area, the attendance request can be submitted.

If the employee is outside the allowed area, the attendance cannot be marked.

The geo-fencing workflow restricts attendance submission based on the configured workplace area.


Attendance Approval

Submitted attendance can be reviewed by authorized company users before it is approved or rejected.

The company can review the attendance and decide whether to:

  • Approve attendance
  • Reject attendance

This gives the company control over unusual or incorrect attendance submissions.


ATTENDANCE TIME RULES

Companies can define working-time rules for attendance.

For example, a company can set:

text
Office Entry: 10:00 AM
Office Exit:   6:00 PM

Attendance timing can be used during the review process to identify late or otherwise exceptional attendance submissions.

This allows attendance to be checked not only by location but also by the employee's arrival time.


Example Attendance Flow

Suppose the company's entry time is 10:00 AM.

Employee arrives at 9:45 AM

text
Selfie ✓
Location ✓
Time ✓
       ↓
Attendance Submitted

Employee arrives after the configured entry time 10:30 AM

text
Selfie ✓
Location ✓
Time ✗
       ↓
Attendance Submitted for Review
       ↓
Company Can Reject

The final decision remains with the company.


Employee Tasks

The application also includes employee task management so organizations can assign and track basic work items alongside attendance.

Different employees can have different tasks depending on their role or responsibilities.

For example:

text
Employee A
├── Complete daily report
├── Check inventory
└── Submit client update

Employee B
├── Prepare sales report
├── Contact customers
└── Update records

This gives the company a way to manage basic employee work along with attendance.


Attendance History

Employees and companies can access attendance history.

The history can contain information related to previous attendance submissions, including the verification details associated with the submission.

This makes it easier to review past attendance instead of relying only on the current day's status.


ATTENDANCE VERIFICATION WORKFLOW

The main strength of the attendance workflow is that it combines two pieces of information.

1. Selfie

Captures the employee's submitted attendance image.

2. Location

Checks whether the attendance request originates within the configured workplace area.

Together, they provide a more controlled attendance submission process than a simple check-in button.

2. Time

Records or evaluates the attendance time according to the organization's configured rules.


ORGANIZATION MANAGEMENT

Authorized organization users can manage employees, workplace settings, attendance rules, attendance requests, attendance history, and assigned tasks.

A company can manage:

  • Employees
  • Office location
  • Attendance rules
  • Attendance timing
  • Attendance requests
  • Attendance history
  • Employee tasks

This allows the company to manage its workforce from one system.


Attendance Workflow

The complete workflow looks like this:

text
Employee Opens App
        ↓
Selects Attendance
        ↓
Takes Selfie
        ↓
Location Is Checked
        ↓
Inside Office Geofence?
       / \
     Yes  No
      ↓    ↓
Submit   Attendance
Request  Not Accepted
      ↓
Company Reviews
      ↓
Approve / Reject

Time-Based Attendance Workflow

Time can also be considered during the attendance review.

text
Employee Arrives
       ↓
Location Check
       ↓
Selfie Submission
       ↓
Check Arrival Time
       ↓
Attendance Sent to Company
       ↓
Company Reviews
       ↓
Approve / Reject

This gives the company flexibility when dealing with late arrivals or other attendance situations.


MOBILE UX APPROACH

The goal is to keep the daily attendance workflow straightforward while still providing the required verification and review steps.

For employees, the important actions are kept straightforward:

  • Mark attendance
  • Submit selfie
  • Check attendance status
  • View attendance history
  • View assigned tasks

For companies, the focus is on:

  • Reviewing attendance
  • Managing employees
  • Checking attendance history
  • Assigning tasks
  • Managing office rules

The goal is to avoid making a daily attendance process unnecessarily complicated.


Challenges

LOCATION & GEO-FENCE HANDLING

Attendance depends on the employee's current location, so the application needs to properly handle location permissions and location data.

The geofence also needs to be checked against the company's configured office area.

COORDINATING ATTENDANCE CHECKS

Attendance requires more than one check:

text
Selfie
  +
Location
  +
Time
  ↓
Attendance Request

These checks need to work together without making the attendance process difficult for employees.

Attendance Approval

Some attendance submissions may need manual review, especially when an employee arrives late or when something looks unusual.

The approval/rejection workflow gives the company control over these cases.

MULTI-TENANT DATA SEPARATION

Since the system is multi-tenant, employee and attendance data needs to remain separated between different organizations.


APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

The application was developed around the actual attendance workflow first.

The main development steps included:

  1. Plan the multi-tenant structure
  2. Design organization and employee workflows
  3. Build employee attendance screens
  4. Add selfie capture

Example Use Case

Suppose an organization has configured its workplace entry time as 10:00 AM.

An employee reaches the office at 9:50 AM.

The employee opens the app, takes a selfie and submits attendance.

The application checks:

text
Selfie        → ✓
Office Area   → ✓
Entry Time    → ✓
        ↓
Attendance Submitted

The attendance is then sent to the company for approval.

Now consider another employee who reaches the office at 10:30 AM.

text
Selfie        → ✓
Office Area   → ✓
Entry Time    → Late
        ↓
Attendance Submitted for Review

The company can review the attendance and reject it if the attendance rules require rejection.


Project Outcome

The application provides organizations with a mobile attendance workflow based on workplace location, selfie submission, attendance timing, and approval.

Its multi-tenant structure allows different organizations to manage their own employees, attendance records, workplace settings, and tasks within the same application architecture.

The system combines attendance management with basic workforce features such as employee tasks and attendance history.
