Factory employee time tracking: worker attendance across workshops and warehouses

At a factory, workshop or warehouse, the shift starts at the same time for everyone. Attendy records when workers arrive and leave with Telegram and a QR code: everyone checks in from their own phone, there's no queue, and you see who's late right away.

Problems it solves

  • 1

    A queue at the paper log

    Before each shift, dozens of workers line up at a single notebook by the gate. And some sign in for a coworker.

  • 2

    The line stands idle

    The shift has started, but no one is at the machine. The supervisor walks the floor to figure out who didn't come in.

  • 3

    Multiple workshops and warehouses

    The workshop is in one building, the warehouse in another. Each keeps its own notebook, and there's no overall picture.

  • 4

    Timesheets take days

    At month end, HR retypes the logs and calculates lateness and fines by hand. Mistakes are inevitable.

How Attendy works in this industry

  1. 01

    Everyone checks in from their own phone

    A QR code hangs at the entrance and workers scan it in the Telegram mini app. A few seconds, no queue, nothing to install.

  2. 02

    No checking in for someone else

    Each scan goes through the worker's personal Telegram, within 150 m of the branch and with the current QR code. Suspicious check-ins are visible to the manager.

  3. 03

    Attendance at shift start

    Who's in, who's late, who's missing — updated live. The supervisor can fill an open station right away.

  4. 04

    Automatic timesheets

    Late minutes and fines are calculated using your rules. The monthly timesheet exports to Excel in one click.

How attendance tracking works on the shop floor

In manufacturing, starting the shift on time is what matters most. In Attendy, each workshop, warehouse or logistics point is a separate branch with its own QR code and work schedule.

  1. Add a workshop or warehouse as a branch.
  2. Print the branch's QR code and put it up at the entrance.
  3. Workers send their phone number to the Telegram bot and are linked to their branch automatically.
  4. Workers scan the QR at the start of the shift and again at the end.

No turnstiles or terminals

A turnstile or biometric terminal means purchasing, installation and a separate device at every entrance. Attendy just needs a printed QR code — workers use Telegram on their own smartphones. Setup takes about 15 minutes.

  • Each workshop gets its own schedule and days off.
  • As branch manager, the workshop head sees only their own workers.
  • The owner and administrators see every workshop and warehouse on one dashboard.
  • Location is captured only at the moment of the scan; there's no continuous tracking.

Shift start with Attendy

Ten minutes before the shift, workers walk through the entrance and scan the QR on the way in — no more queue at the log. When the shift starts, the workshop head sees on their phone who didn't come in and moves someone to the open machine right away. Same at the warehouse: you know whether the whole crew is there before loading begins.

At month end, HR doesn't retype anything. Attendance and fines for every workshop and warehouse are in a single Excel file. Lateness is calculated to the minute, so there's nothing to argue about. You set the fine rules yourself, and calculations follow them — no manual formulas or spreadsheet recounts.

  • The queue at the gate disappears.
  • The supervisor checks the dashboard instead of walking the floor.
  • Timesheets take minutes, not days.

FAQ

Each scan goes through the worker's personal Telegram account, linked by phone number. On top of that, suspicious check-ins — identical coordinates, emulator signs — are flagged for the manager.
