GPS attendance app for Sri Lanka: location-based check-in and check-out
Humanised is a GPS attendance app for staff who do not work at one door. Sales reps, drivers, technicians, security guards and remote staff check in and out on their phone. You draw a geofence around each site, so a check-in only counts where the work is. Every punch feeds the same overtime, late and no-pay rules as a fingerprint machine, and the approved month goes to payroll. On the Small Business plan, LKR 25,000 a month for up to 50 employees.

A GPS attendance app records the time and the location of each check-in and check-out from the employee’s phone. In Humanised you set a geofence around each work site, a check-in outside it is not accepted, and the location is saved with every punch. The app and your ZKTeco or HikVision terminals feed one attendance record, so overtime, no-pay and leave reach payroll without retyping.
How location-based check-in works
- You add each work site in Humanised and draw a geofence around it: an office, a shop, a client site, a construction yard.
- The employee opens the app at the site and taps check in. The app records the time and the phone’s location.
- Inside the geofence the punch is accepted. Outside it, it is not, and the employee sees why.
- At the end of the shift they tap check out. The hours between the two punches go against their roster.
- Humanised applies your rules: late marks, overtime at your rate, no-pay for a missed day, holiday rates on Poya days.
- The manager sees the month, with a location on every punch, and approves it. Payroll picks it up.
Who it is for
Sales and field teams
Reps and merchandisers who start the day at a customer, not the office. A geofence per customer site or per territory.
Drivers and technicians
Delivery riders, service engineers and installers who move between sites all day. Check in and out at each one.
Security guards
Guards posted at client premises where you cannot install a device. A geofence around each post.
Attendance for security companies →Remote and hybrid staff
Work-from-home days on the app or in the browser, office days on the terminal. One record either way.
Employee app →Geofencing: a check-in only counts at the site
GPS alone is easy to argue with. A geofence is not. You set the boundary around each site once. A check-in from inside it is accepted; one from outside is refused. The location is stored on every punch, so a supervisor can open any day and see where each check-in was made. Staff know the rule, so the arguments stop.
Works alongside your fingerprint machines
Most businesses do not choose between a device and the app. They use both. A ZKTeco or HikVision terminal at the office, shop or factory, and the app for everyone who is out. Both punches land on the same attendance record and go through the same rules, so one payroll covers everyone. If you have several branches, see multi-location attendance.
What the app check-in turns into
| From the punches | Rule | On the payslip |
|---|---|---|
| Hours beyond the shift | Overtime at the divisor and rate you set (240 and 1.5× by default) | Overtime line |
| Check-in after the grace period | Late mark; a deduction only if your policy says so | Late register |
| No check-in, no approved leave | No-pay at the daily rate you set (÷ 30 by default) | No-pay line with the days |
| Work on a Poya day | Holiday rate from the calendar | Overtime line at the holiday rate |
| A clean month | Attendance allowance, if you set one | Allowance line |

Who this is for
A good fit if you
- Have staff who start or end the day somewhere other than your office
- Want proof of where a check-in was made, not just when
- Already run a fingerprint machine and want field staff on the same payroll
Not the right fit if you
- Need continuous route tracking through the day; Humanised captures the location at the punch, not between punches
- Need project-based time tracking billed to clients

Frequently Asked Questions
How does GPS attendance work in Humanised?
Staff open the employee app and tap check in. The app records the time and the phone’s location. If you have drawn a geofence around the site, the check-in only counts inside it. The punch then goes through the same shift, overtime and no-pay rules as a fingerprint machine punch.
Can staff check in from the wrong place?
Not inside a geofenced site. You set the boundary around each site, and a check-in outside it is not accepted. Every punch is saved with its location, so the manager can see where it was made.
Which plans include GPS check-in and geofencing?
Small Business (LKR 25,000 a month for up to 50 employees) and Enterprise. The Startup plan has device and browser clock-in.
Can one employee visit several sites in a day?
Yes. Set a geofence for each site. The employee checks in and out at each one, and the day’s hours add up on one record.
Do we still need a fingerprint machine?
Not for staff on the app. Many businesses use both: a ZKTeco or HikVision terminal at the office or factory, and the app for sales reps, drivers, technicians and guards. Both feed one attendance record.
How is overtime worked out from app check-ins?
The same way as from a device. Hours beyond the assigned shift are overtime at the rate and divisor you set, with Poya and mercantile holiday rates applied from the calendar.
Does GPS attendance drain the phone battery or track staff all day?
No. The location is captured at the moment of the check-in and the check-out, not continuously.
How much does a GPS attendance app cost in Sri Lanka?
The Humanised app is included in the Small Business plan at LKR 25,000 a month for up to 50 employees, with payroll and leave. There is no per-device fee for app users.
