How does QR code attendance work in TheCheckIn?

TheCheckIn supports two QR methods: Branch QR (a QR code placed at each office location that employees scan on their phone) and Employee QR (a personal QR card assigned to each employee, scanned by a manager or kiosk device). Both methods record exact check-in time and location.

Can TheCheckIn track field workers and remote employees?

Yes. Remote and field employees use the GPS check-in feature. Their location is captured when they check in, allowing managers to verify they are at the correct job site. No hardware is needed — just the mobile app.

Do I need a biometric machine to use TheCheckIn?

No. TheCheckIn replaces biometric machines entirely. Attendance is tracked through QR codes, GPS location, or face recognition using the employee's smartphone. There is no hardware to purchase, install, or maintain.

How does face recognition attendance work?

Employees register their face once in the app. On subsequent check-ins, the app uses face recognition with liveness detection (eye blink test) to confirm the person is physically present — preventing proxy attendance using photos.

What types of businesses use TheCheckIn?

TheCheckIn is used by retail stores, restaurants, construction companies, manufacturing facilities, healthcare clinics, schools, and any business with employees who need accurate attendance tracking. It works for teams of 5 to 500.

Does TheCheckIn integrate with ERPNext or Frappe HRMS?

Yes. TheCheckIn syncs attendance data with ERPNext and Frappe HRMS. Admins can export attendance records directly into ERPNext HR modules, making it ideal for businesses already using Frappe or ERPNext for payroll and HR.

Does TheCheckIn work with Sage 300?

Yes. TheCheckIn integrates with Sage 300 for time and attendance. Attendance records from TheCheckIn can be mapped to Sage 300 payroll and HR modules, replacing manual timesheet entry.

Q: Can I manage multiple office branches in TheCheckIn?

Yes. TheCheckIn supports multiple branches. Each branch has its own QR code and GPS geofence. Admins see attendance across all locations in a single real-time dashboard.

Q: How are timesheets generated?

Timesheets are generated automatically from check-in and check-out data. Daily, weekly, and monthly reports are available. You can export the data to Excel for payroll processing.

TheCheckIn turns any employee smartphone into a face recognition attendance terminal. Staff look at the camera once — liveness detection confirms it's really them — and they're checked in. No biometric machine. No fingerprint scanner. No extra hardware. Works for offices, HVAC teams, construction sites, restaurants, and remote workers worldwide.

Attendance tracking features for every type of team

Whether your team works in an office, on a construction site, or from home — TheCheckIn has a check-in method that fits.

Proxy-proof Primary Feature

Face Recognition Attendance

Employees check in using their face — on any smartphone, no biometric device needed. Liveness detection (eye blink) ensures a real person is present, not a photo. Eliminates buddy punching and proxy attendance completely.

How face check-in works

Branch QR Code Check-in

Place a QR code at each office or site. Employees scan it on their phone when they arrive. No card reader, no biometric machine, no extra hardware — just a printed QR code.

How QR check-in works

GPS Remote Attendance

Field staff and remote workers check in from their location. GPS validation confirms they are at the correct job site — not checking in from a different location.

How GPS attendance works

Employee QR Card

Each employee gets a unique QR card. A manager or shared device scans it for check-in. Ideal for factories, warehouses, and sites where employees share workstations.

How Employee QR Cards work

Automatic Timesheet Generation

Daily, weekly, and monthly timesheets are calculated automatically from check-in data. Export to Excel for payroll in one click — no manual calculation needed.

Real-time Attendance Dashboard

GPS validation, face recognition, and device binding ensure employees can only check in as themselves, from the right location.

Payroll-ready timesheets in seconds

Attendance data is automatically turned into timesheets. Export to Excel and hand it to payroll — no manual tallying at month end.

Works for every type of worker

One platform covers office staff (QR), construction workers (GPS), and remote employees (mobile check-in) — no separate tools needed.

One dashboard for all branches

Multiple offices or job sites? See attendance across all locations in a single view — no calling branch managers or switching between sheets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about TheCheckIn attendance tracking app.

Yes — TheCheckIn is free for up to 10 employees, with no credit card and no hardware required. Download the Android app or sign up on the web and add your first employee in under 2 minutes. For larger teams, contact us for a flexible plan tailored to your headcount.

No hardware is needed at all. TheCheckIn replaces biometric machines entirely. Attendance is tracked using QR codes, GPS on the employee's smartphone, or face recognition — all through the free mobile app.

TheCheckIn offers two QR methods. Branch QR: a QR code is placed at each office or site entrance — employees scan it with their phone to check in. Employee QR card: each employee has their own personal QR code that a manager or shared device scans. Both record exact time, date, and location.

Yes. Remote and field employees use the GPS check-in feature in the app. Their GPS coordinates are captured at check-in, so managers can confirm they are at the right location — whether that's a construction site, client office, or delivery location. No additional hardware is needed.

Employees register their face once in the app. On each check-in, face recognition with liveness detection (eye blink verification) confirms the person is physically present — not a printed photo or video. This completely eliminates buddy punching and proxy attendance.

Yes. TheCheckIn supports unlimited branches. Each branch gets its own QR code and GPS geofence. Admins see attendance across all locations on a single real-time dashboard — no need to check each branch separately.

Timesheets are automatically calculated from check-in and check-out data. Daily, weekly, and monthly reports are available in the dashboard. Export them to Excel with one click and share with your payroll team — no manual work required.

TheCheckIn is used by retail stores, restaurants, construction companies, manufacturing units, healthcare clinics, schools, and logistics businesses. It suits any organisation with 5 to 500+ employees who need reliable, tamper-proof attendance tracking.

Yes. TheCheckIn syncs attendance records with ERPNext and Frappe HRMS. If your business already runs ERPNext for HR and payroll, TheCheckIn can feed face recognition attendance data directly into your ERPNext Attendance module, eliminating manual data entry.

Yes. TheCheckIn integrates with Sage 300 Time and Attendance. Employees use their smartphone camera for face recognition check-in instead of a biometric terminal. Attendance data exports into Sage 300 payroll-ready format, saving hours of manual data entry each pay period.

Face recognition in TheCheckIn uses on-device processing — the app compares the live face against the registered face data stored on the employee's own smartphone. Raw face images are not transmitted to a server. Employee face data belongs to your company and is never shared with third parties.
