Attendance & Time Tracking

AI-powered attendance tracking with photo validation, GPS verification, and payroll closure eliminates proxy attendance and manual register maintenance for distributed field teams.

How Attendance Tracking Works:

Employee opens 1Channel mobile app and clicks "Mark Attendance"
App captures live selfie photo with timestamp and GPS location
AI verifies photo matches registered employee face (2-second verification)
GPS validates employee is within configured radius of work location/office
Attendance record syncs to admin portal dashboard in real-time
Manager sees attendance status: Present, Absent, Late, Early Departure, Leave, Holiday

Key Attendance Features:

GPS Geofencing — Define work location radius; attendance only allowed within configured geofence
AI Photo Validation — Face recognition prevents proxy attendance (one employee marking for another)
Late/Early Tracking — Configurable work hours with automatic late arrival and early departure detection
Attendance Closure — Close attendance for payroll processing by month-end; syncs with salary calculation
Real-Time Dashboard — View attendance status by employee, team, region with filters and Excel export
Punch In/Out Logs — Track exact punch-in/punch-out times with location stamps for compliance audits

Note: Attendance policies (work hours, geofence radius, late thresholds) fully configurable per organization requirements.

Expense & Reimbursement Management

End-to-end expense and reimbursement workflow where employees submit claims for work-related expenses with receipts, and approvals route to reporting heads based on organization hierarchy.

How Expense Management Works:

Employee submits expense claim in mobile app with receipt photo/PDF upload
Selects expense category: Travel, Food, Accommodation, Fuel, Client Entertainment, etc. (categories fully configurable)
Enters expense amount, date, and description (e.g., "Client meeting lunch in Mumbai")
System automatically routes claim to reporting head based on organization hierarchy
Manager reviews expense details, receipt proof, and approves/rejects claim
Approved expense automatically syncs to payroll for reimbursement processing

Configurable Expense Categories & Policies:

Expense categories — configure Travel, Food, Accommodation, Fuel, Local Conveyance, Client Entertainment, Office Supplies
Approval workflows — single-level or multi-level approvals based on expense amount thresholds
Receipt requirement — mandatory receipt upload for expenses above configured amount (e.g., ₹500)
Category-wise limits — set maximum reimbursement per category (e.g., Food: ₹500/day, Accommodation: ₹3000/night)
Advance vs. Reimbursement — employees can request travel advances before trip or submit reimbursement after

Note: Expense policies fully configurable per organization's reimbursement guidelines and approval matrix.

Workforce Planning & Beat Management

Beat plan approval and workforce scheduling where managers assign daily or weekly routes to field teams with territory assignment and compliance tracking.

How Beat Planning Works:

Field employee creates daily or weekly beat plan in mobile app
Selects retailers/outlets to visit from assigned territory with route sequencing
Adds expected visit time, purpose (order collection, stock check, merchandising), and planned activities
Submits beat plan for manager approval via organization hierarchy
Manager reviews planned visits, checks territory coverage, and approves/rejects beat plan
Approved beat plan becomes employee's daily work schedule with GPS tracking during execution

Workforce Scheduling & Territory Management:

Territory assignment — map employees to specific geographic territories with outlet/retailer lists
Route optimization — AI-powered route sequencing to minimize travel time between visits
Beat compliance tracking — real-time tracking of planned vs. actual visits with completion percentage
Shift-based scheduling — support for multiple shifts with attendance and leave integration
Workforce analytics — reports on territory coverage, visit frequency, and employee productivity

Note: Beat plans integrate with attendance tracking to ensure visit execution aligns with approved schedules.

Employee Data & Organization Hierarchy

Centralized employee database with user creation, role assignment, organization tree showing reporting hierarchy, and complete user attribute management from admin portal.

Creating Users & Assigning Roles:

Admin goes to Settings → User Management → Create New User
Enters employee details: Name, Email, Phone Number, Employee Code, Joining Date
Assigns role: Promoter, Team Leader, Area Manager, Regional Manager, Admin (roles fully configurable)

Click any employee node to see direct reports, leave balance, attendance percentage, and performance metrics
Filter hierarchy by region, department, or branch to view specific organizational units
Export organization chart as PDF for HR documentation and statutory compliance
Hierarchy automatically drives approval workflows for leave, expenses, and beat plans

Note: Organization hierarchy updates reflect immediately across all modules (attendance, leave, expense approvals).

Holiday Calendar Management

Upload and manage company holiday calendars visible to all employees in mobile app for leave planning and attendance visibility.

How It Works:

Admin goes to Settings → HR Management → Leave Management → Holiday Calendar
Downloads Excel template with columns: Holiday Date, Holiday Name, Region (optional)
Fills company holidays (e.g., 26-Jan-2025 | Republic Day | All India)
Uploads filled Excel file to system
Holidays become visible to all employees in mobile app calendar
When employee selects leave dates, app shows holidays falling in selected range

Region-Wise Holiday Calendars:

National holidays — visible to all employees across all regions (Republic Day, Independence Day)
Regional holidays — specific to state/city (e.g., Maharashtra Day only for Mumbai employees)
Example: Employee in Mumbai sees both national holidays + Maharashtra-specific holidays
Filter holidays by region when uploading Excel (Region column: Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, etc.)
Employees automatically see holidays for their assigned region based on location mapping

Note: Holiday calendar updates reflect immediately in mobile app for all employees.
