Geo-Fencing & Real-Time Violation Alerts

Ensure accurate attendance, prevent time theft, and enforce on-site compliance—automatically.

What Is Geo-Fencing in Workforce Management?

Geo-fencing allows you to set up virtual perimeters around physical job sites so that employees can only clock in or out within approved zones. This prevents fake clock-ins, offsite attendance, and manual errors.

With NextGen Workforce, mobile teams can only record time when they’re where they’re supposed to be—giving you unmatched visibility and control.

Think of it as a digital boundary that ensures your employees are present when they say they are.

Key Features of Geo Tracking in Workforce Management

Real-Time Location Capture

Accurately records employee GPS coordinates at punch-in and punch-out, preventing location spoofing and validating worksite presence.

Geo-Fencing

Create virtual boundaries around job sites. Only punches within these zones are allowed, ensuring compliance and reducing errors.

Violation Alerts & Auto Clock-Out

Instantly alerts managers to geo-fence breaches and automatically clocks out employees who leave the designated area early.

Route & Movement History

Track routes and historical movement for mobile workers, validating worksite visits and boosting accountability.

Mobile App Integration

Employees can verify location compliance via the NextGen mobile app, improving transparency and minimising accidental violations.

Location-Based Reporting

Generate detailed reports on clock-in locations, times, and employees. Integrate seamlessly with payroll systems like BambooHR and QuickBooks for accurate payroll processing.

Mileage Tracking

Monitor mileage for delivery drivers or field workers, enhancing accountability and supporting expense claims.

Geo-Fence Violation Detection & Auto Clock-Out

Mandatory Geo-Fence Clock-In
