Retail employee time tracking: a QR code at every store

A store has to open exactly when the sign says. If the cashier is late, customers stand at a locked door or go to a competitor. Attendy is employee attendance tracking for stores, supermarkets, pharmacies and retail chains: employees scan a QR code at the entrance in Telegram, and you see in real time who's on site at every location.

Problems it solves

  • 1

    The store opens late

    The cashier has the keys, and the cashier is stuck in traffic. Morning customers wait, and you find out by chance — too late.

  • 2

    Many stores, little visibility

    With several stores or pharmacies across the city, calling each one every morning takes time — and still doesn't give you certainty.

  • 3

    You can't trust a paper log

    Employees write down their own arrival time. There's no way to check when that "9:00" entry was actually made.

  • 4

    The month-end timesheet

    Collecting logs from every store and adding up late arrivals and fines takes days of your time or your accountant's.

Attendy

How Attendy works in this industry

  1. 01

    A separate QR code for each store

    Every store, branch or pharmacy gets its own code. Print it and put it up by the staff entrance — no other hardware needed.

  2. 02

    Check-ins only at the store

    A scan is accepted within 150 meters of the store and only with its current QR code. Arrival time comes from the scan, not from the employee's word.

  3. 03

    All stores on one screen

    By opening time, you see who's in, who's late and who's missing. You hear about a problem first — not your customers.

  4. 04

    Monthly report in one click

    Late minutes and fines are calculated by your rules. Export attendance and fines to Excel in one click.

How to set up employee attendance tracking in your store

Setup takes about 15 minutes. No need to buy turnstiles, terminals or fingerprint scanners — a printer and some tape are enough.

  1. Add each store or pharmacy as a branch in your dashboard.
  2. Set a schedule: the default is 09:00–18:00, Mon–Fri, with a 60-minute break — adjust it to the store's hours.
  3. Print the QR code and put it up by the staff entrance.
  4. Employees send their phone number to the Telegram bot and are linked to their branch automatically.

From then on, cashiers and sales staff scan the code in the Telegram mini app when they arrive and leave. Any smartphone with Telegram and mobile internet works — nothing to install.

15 minutes before opening

For a store, the minutes before opening matter most. As soon as a cashier scans the code, they appear as checked in on the live screen. If a store still has no one by opening time, you see it immediately and have time to call the employee or send someone from a nearby branch.

It's the same for pharmacies and supermarkets: you learn about a problem before a customer hits a locked door, and late minutes are recorded automatically.

Attendance tracking for retail chains

As a chain grows, the owner can no longer keep an eye on every store personally. Attendy has roles: the owner sees every branch, admins see the data they've been given access to, and store managers see only their own store. Everyone sees only the data for their role, and all data is sent over HTTPS.

The same rules for everyone

You set the rules for late arrivals and fines, and the system applies them equally to everyone. Suspicious scans — signs of an emulator, identical coordinates, impossible jumps in distance — are flagged for the manager.

Pricing and payment

Pricing depends on the number of employees and branches — see the pricing page for an exact quote. Pay with Payme or Click; companies can pay by bank transfer under a contract.
