Attendance fraud costs Indian businesses an estimated ₹50,000+ per employee per year in wasted wages and inflated travel claims. For companies managing 100+ field employees, this adds up to crores annually.
Common types of attendance fraud in field teams
- Buddy punching — one employee marking attendance for another
- Fake GPS locations — using VPNs or mock location apps
- Inflated travel claims — reporting more client visits than actually made
- Early check-outs — leaving early but marking a full day
How Optick eliminates attendance fraud
Face Recognition Check-in
Employees must scan their face to mark attendance. No proxy is possible — the system matches against the registered face in real time with spoof detection that rejects photos and masks.
Geo-fenced Attendance
Attendance can only be marked within a defined radius of the workplace. If an employee is not physically present, the system rejects the check-in automatically.
Live GPS Tracking
Managers see every field employee's location in real time on a map. Route history is stored for audit and payroll purposes — timestamped and tamper-proof.
Client Visit Verification
Field agents must check in at client locations with a geo-tagged selfie. Fake visits are impossible — the system cross-references GPS coordinates with the registered client address.
