Why Choose Cloud AI Attendance & Time Tracking Software in South Africa?

Built for South African distributors, FMCG brands and enterprises that want buddy-punching gone, proof a rep was actually on the township route or inside the depot, and payroll numbers that close cleanly each month-end.
AI Face Validation – Every check-in selfie is AI-matched against the reference photo, so nobody clocks in on behalf of a teammate two suburbs away.
GPS & Geofencing – Geofences drawn around the spaza shop, the depot and the chain-store yard, each pinned by GPS rather than a street address.
Offline-First Capture – Captures selfie, GPS and time where mobile coverage is weak or absent, then syncs when the signal comes back.
Attendance Regularisation – A rep raises a missed day and it travels up the reporting line with configurable statuses and remarks.
Payroll-Ready Closure – Close the month with clean present and leave days for PAYE and provident-fund administration.

How Our Software Works?

Admins define attendance statuses, remarks, geofence radius and regularisation policies in the portal. The rep opens the mobile app, takes a selfie the AI checks against the reference photo, and the mark is stored with GPS coordinates and a timestamp — held on the handset where there is no signal, synced later. Regional sales managers and HR then follow reporting percentage, late marks, defaulters and present days on the Advanced Dashboard and in downloadable reports, whether the team is working Gauteng, the Western Cape or KwaZulu-Natal.
