Know where your technicians are, who is on site, and whether attendance is real — VeloCrew combines a worker mobile app, live map, and compliance-friendly logs for field operations in India.
Operations leaders need visibility without micromanaging every call. GPS-backed check-in shows when someone arrived, whether they are still on site, and how workload is distributed across the city — not just what they report in a chat message.
The worker app is designed for low-end Android phones and patchy networks common in Indian field work. Simple flows for clock-in, today’s jobs, and completion reduce training time compared to generic HR apps.
Location is used for operational purposes described in our Privacy Policy. Data is encrypted in transit; hosting supports India-region deployment. Each company’s workforce data stays isolated from other tenants.
Paper registers and honour-system apps invite disputes: “I was on site” vs “the customer was not home.” GPS-backed check-in ties attendance to place and time, giving payroll and operations a shared record. Managers still approve leave and exceptions in the dashboard — technology supports judgment, it does not replace it.
Indian field teams often work on 4G pockets and 2G/3G fallback. The worker app caches tasks offline and uploads location when connectivity returns, so a dropped signal does not mean a lost job sheet. Low-end Android devices (roughly ₹5,000 and up) are supported because that is what many technicians carry.
Tracking alone does not assign work. VeloCrew links GPS visibility to dispatch and route planning and the broader field service platform, so you see where people are and what they should do next — not two disconnected systems.
Attendance exports, compliance views, and worker scorecards help you spot patterns — chronic lateness, overloaded technicians, or sites that always run long. Use the same data for customer SLA reviews and internal coaching without maintaining a separate tracking spreadsheet.
Add workers, have them install the app, and run your first GPS check-in the same day. Compare VeloCrew with generic HR apps that were not built for technicians visiting customer sites — field workforce tracking should connect directly to jobs, not sit in a silo.
How does GPS attendance work?
The technician marks attendance from the app on their own phone and the check-in is stamped with time and location. Instead of “were they at work today” you get when they started and where, which is how field work actually happens — straight from home to the first site, never past an office door.
Does it track staff all day?
Attendance and job locations are captured at the moments that matter — check-in, check-out, and job events — rather than following someone continuously. Be straightforward with your team about what is recorded and why; that is the difference between a tool people accept and one they resist.
Does attendance feed payroll automatically?
Yes. The paid-days figure the salary run uses is the one captured in the field, which removes the month-end copy-paste between a register and a spreadsheet — the step where most payroll errors are introduced.
Will it work on cheap Android phones?
Yes. The app targets the ordinary Android phones field staff already carry rather than assuming recent flagship hardware.
What does the office see?
A live map of who has started, who has not, and where open jobs sit — so a supervisor can see the morning at a glance instead of calling around.
