Frequently asked questions
What is the best attendance app in India for factories?
HelloTime is built for India's deskless workforce. Factories get shift-aware OT, face-rec kiosk on sub-₹15k tablets, offline clock-in and anti-spoof liveness — all from ₹99/user.
Can I use HelloTime as a free attendance app for small business?
Yes. HelloTime is free forever for 1 user. Paid plans start at ₹99/user for Attend (face-rec, GPS, kiosk, leave).
Does HelloTime work as a biometric attendance software?
Yes. HelloTime uses face recognition as the biometric marker, so it works on any Android or iOS phone with a front camera. No dedicated fingerprint reader is needed.
Is there a selfie fallback if face recognition fails?
Yes. If liveness fails or the match score is low, the worker can clock in with PIN plus a timestamped selfie. The event goes to a manager-approval queue.
How does the GPS geofence work for field teams?
Admins set a lat/lng and radius (or GeoJSON polygon) per site. The phone fires a clock-in prompt when the worker crosses the fence, and the server validates every event before it reaches payroll.
Is the face recognition attendance system live or in pilot?
The end-to-end Azure Face enrol-and-verify loop is currently in early-access pilot. GPS geofencing, kiosk mode and offline clock-in are already live.
Can security agencies use HelloTime for guard attendance?
Yes. Security agencies use guard-post geofences, rotating sites, patrol routes and a manager queue for flagged or out-of-fence events.
Does HelloTime support construction attendance software needs?
Yes. Construction crews get per-site geofences, contractor tags, moving-yard support and site-based reports — all synced to HelloBooks payroll and invoices.
