Attendance tracking has always been an essential part of workforce management, but the way companies track attendance is evolving rapidly. For years, biometric systems like fingerprint scanners or face recognition have been the go-to solution for accurate attendance records. However, these systems come with their own set of limitations: they require physical hardware, regular maintenance, and can only be used at specific locations.

With the rise of mobile workforces, hybrid models, and remote teams, many organizations are now shifting toward geofence attendance systems a modern, GPS-based method that allows employees to mark attendance automatically when they enter or exit a defined virtual boundary (the “geofence”). This could be around an office, client site, or job location.

I’m curious about how effective geofence attendance truly is in comparison to biometric systems. From what I understand, it eliminates physical touchpoints, saves hardware costs, and offers flexibility for field employees who don’t report to a fixed location. But does it offer the same level of reliability and accuracy as biometric systems?

A few key areas I’d love to hear experiences or opinions about:

How accurate is GPS-based tracking in real-world environments (like high-rise offices or remote areas)?

Are there privacy or trust issues among employees when location tracking is involved?

How do geofence systems handle technical issues like poor internet connectivity or battery drain?

For companies that switched from biometric to geofence attendance what improvements or drawbacks have you noticed?

Can geofencing completely replace biometric systems, or is it better as a hybrid solution?

Would love to hear insights from HR professionals, tech admins, or managers who’ve actually implemented both systems. Which one worked better for your team and why?
