Punch In at the Exact Workplace Location with Shopl

🤔 We need more precise punch-in locations.

We currently use GPS, but since it operates within a "range," employees can puch in before arriving at the office or store. Is there a way to ensure employees punch in only after reaching their exact workplace?

🙆‍♀️ Want punch-ins tied to a specific location? Shopl makes it possible!

Shopl solves the GPS range issue with QR code verification:

1️⃣ Employees scan a QR code at the office/store to verify their workplace.

2️⃣ GPS confirms their real-time location before allowing them to punch in.

With this two-step verification, QR code duplication is no longer a concern!Upgrade to precise and reliable clock-ins with Shopl’s QR code attendance system.

▪︎ Punch In at the Exact Workplace with QR Codes

The Problem: GPS Has a Range

Shopl typically uses GPS to verify whether employees are within a defined radius of their workplace. While this range can be adjusted, GPS alone cannot pinpoint an exact office or store location. This means employees may be able to clock in before actually arriving at work.

The Solution: QR Code + GPS for Maximum Accuracy ✨

Shopl’s QR Code Punch-In System enhances location accuracy beyond traditional GPS tracking. It’s more than just scanning a code:

✅ Employees scan the QR code at the office/store to verify the workplace.

✅ GPS confirms their exact location before allowing them to clock in.

This two-step verification ensures that QR codes cannot be copied or misused. Upgrade your attendance tracking with Shopl’s secure, QR-based clock-in system!

• HR teams managing multiple locations and store staff.
• Business owners needing precise attendance tracking for part-time employees.
• Managers wanting to tighten GPS location accuracy for punch-ins.
• Stores in shopping malls or business complexes where multiple workplaces are close together (e.g., Brand A and Brand B inside a department store).

▪︎ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q. Can employees take a photo of the QR code and reuse it later? Is there a risk of duplication?

A. No, Shopl’s QR code system uses two-step authentication, preventing duplication.

1. QR verification: Confirms the workplace location.
2. GPS verification: Confirms the employee’s physical location.

Even if an employee takes a picture of the QR code, they won’t be able to clock in or out unless their GPS location matches the workplace at the time of verification.

‍

Q. What about employees who work offsite and can’t scan a QR code?

A. For employees with frequent business trips, temporary assignments, or offsite meetings, the QR code requirement can be disabled.

This allows them to clock in and out using GPS verification only. For example, an employee who starts work at the headquarters but finishes their day at an offsite meeting can temporarily disable QR authentication and clock out via GPS instead.

‍

Q. Can we use different clock-in methods for different locations, such as GPS for headquarters and QR codes for retail stores?

A. Yes! Shopl allows location-based attendance settings, meaning you can choose between:

• GPS authentication
• QR code authentication
