Geofencing Attendance System for Singapore Businesses
Connect employee attendance with designated work locations using Smart GoGo’s location-based attendance workflow.
Smart GoGo helps businesses manage employee clock-in and clock-out activities through a mobile attendance experience with location checking during the attendance process.
What Is Geofencing?
Geofencing creates a virtual boundary around a real-world location. When a device enters, leaves, or remains within that defined area, a location-based system can detect the event and trigger a specific action.
A virtual boundary around a real-world location
A geofence is a virtual perimeter created around a physical location using geographical coordinates such as latitude and longitude.
The boundary can be simple, such as a radius around a store, or it can be customised to match a specific property or operating area.
For example, a 100-metre area around a store, office or other designated location.
A defined area can follow the shape of a property or specific operating zone.
The key idea is simple: a physical location is translated into a digital boundary. Location information can then be used to determine whether a device is inside or outside that defined area and, depending on the system, what should happen next.
Three Steps Behind Geofencing
Geofencing connects a defined geographical area with location information and an action. Here's how the process works from setting the boundary to detecting a location event.
Defining the Boundary
A virtual perimeter is created around a real-world location using geographical coordinates such as latitude and longitude.
The boundary can be a simple radius, such as a 100-metre area around a store, or a custom polygon that follows a property's actual boundary.
Location Tracking
The target device checks its location using available positioning technologies such as GPS, Wi-Fi or cell towers.
This location information allows the geofencing system to determine where the device is in relation to the defined geographical boundary.
Triggering Actions
When a device crosses a defined boundary, the system can detect the event and execute an automated action.
Depending on how the geofencing system is configured, an action may occur when a device enters, exits or remains within a designated zone.
Where Is Geofencing Used?
Geofencing can be used across different industries to connect physical locations with automated digital actions.
Workforce & Site Management
Businesses can use location-based systems to help manage employees and field teams at designated work sites.
Marketing & Retail
Retailers can connect customer locations with location-based promotions and communications.
Smart Home Automation
Smart home systems can respond to people entering or leaving a defined area.
Asset & Fleet Tracking
Location boundaries can help businesses monitor vehicles, equipment and other moving assets.
Security & Personal Safety
Geofenced safe zones can be used to create alerts when a person, pet or other tracked device moves outside a defined area.
Location can become part of your business workflow.
Put Location-Based Attendance Into Practice
Smart GoGo connects employee attendance with designated work locations, helping businesses manage clock-in and clock-out activities through a mobile attendance workflow.
Set Work Location
Define the designated location where employees are expected to carry out their attendance activities.
Employee Opens Smart GoGo
Employees access Smart GoGo from their mobile device when they are ready to record attendance.
Location Is Checked
The employee's location is checked during the attendance process against the designated work area.
Attendance Is Recorded
The attendance process continues based on the configured work-location requirements.
The purpose is simple: connect attendance activity with the employee's designated work location.
Not Near the Office? Smart GoGo Can Let You Know.
Smart GoGo checks the employee's location during the attendance process against the designated work area.
If the employee is not within the required work location, the system can indicate that they are not near the office instead of treating the location as the expected attendance area.
Not Near Office
You are not within the designated work location.
