Security
Built to catch what basic attendance apps miss
Most attendance apps trust whatever GPS coordinates a phone reports. AttenIP checks location against real office WiFi hardware too, watches for signs of manipulation, and tells admins about it in plain language — not a wall of logs.
Dual-factor location verification
Check-ins are matched against both a GPS radius and the office WiFi access point's hardware address (BSSID) — not just its broadcast name, which any device can copy. A basic GPS-only app can be fooled by location-spoofing software; matching against real router hardware raises the bar significantly.
Anti-spoofing & anomaly detection
Every check-in is screened for signs of manipulation — mock-location apps, impossible travel between two check-ins, sudden IP-address changes, and the same device or IP checking in for two different employees (buddy punching) are all flagged automatically. Admins see each flagged incident with an AI-generated plain-language summary, not a raw log dump, so a real problem doesn't get lost in noise.
On-device biometrics
Fingerprint sign-in runs entirely on the employee's own device. AttenIP never receives, transmits, or stores raw fingerprint data — the device only reports pass or fail.
Flexible enforcement, your call
Each office location can be set to Block (reject mismatched check-ins), Flag (log them for review but let the employee in), or Off — so a hybrid team or a temporary hardware issue doesn't have to mean a hard lockout.
Full audit trail
Every login and every admin or HR edit to an attendance record is written to a durable audit log — not just the successful actions. If something needs to be traced back later, there's a real record to check, not a guess.
Remote teams, hybrid setups, and hardware changes
Honest answers about where geofenced attendance fits, and where it flexes.
AttenIP is built around verifying real office presence, so it's most useful for teams who work from company locations. That said, it's not all-or-nothing: every office location can be set to "Flag" instead of "Block," which logs a WiFi mismatch for the admin to see without stopping the employee from checking in. Multiple locations and multiple WiFi networks per location are supported too, so field offices and branch sites aren't treated as exceptions.
