05:58 first light · muster begins

From face to dashboard in 2 seconds.

RocketAttendance turns every supervisor's phone into a tamper-proof attendance scanner. Face verified on-device, geofence checked at capture, visa expiries flagged daily — for 1,000 to 20,000 workers across every site you run.

Works offline in remote camps · syncs on signal · no biometric data leaves the phone

06:00 what happens at every check-in

Three checks in one tap

Each scan runs three verifications before a single attendance record is written. Watch the pipeline:

Step 1 · on-device
01 / FACE

The face is the badge

Multi-angle calibration matched on the phone itself — beard, helmet or mask, no internet required.

✓ identity confirmed · 0.4s
Step 2 · GPS + polygon
02 / GEOFENCE

Inside the boundary, or no entry

Position tested against your KML site polygon at capture time. Off-site? The submit button never lights up.

✓ inside Site Vida · 12m from edge
Step 3 · live sync
03 / DASHBOARD

The dashboard already knows

Present counts, trade distribution and alerts update live — or queue offline and sync the moment signal returns.

✓ Vida headcount 312 → 313

07:00 the muster sheet retires

What stops going wrong

Built for the way construction actually runs: multi-site, multi-sponsor, multi-employer, multi-shift — and frequently offline.

Manual supervisor checks

Buddy punching ends

On-device face verification means each scan is the worker. No silicon thumbs, no marking in for a friend.

Reactive PM complaints

Off-site sign-ins caught live

Mandatory geofence check at capture — a worker can't even submit attendance from outside the boundary.

Excel reminder lists

Visa overstays prevented

Daily auto-scan buckets every document into 90 / 30 / 14-day countdowns before the AED 250/day fine starts.

Phone calls between supervisors

Idle crews redeployed

AI spots Site A's surplus against Site B's shortage and suggests the exact move, with quantities.

"He just stopped showing up"

Resignations seen coming

Attrition-risk scoring flags the worker — and the reasons — before the resignation letter lands.

Paper forms → data entry

100 workers onboarded in a morning

Bulk Excel import with auto column mapping and case-insensitive matching. No duplicates, no cleanup sprint.

09:00 operations running

Everything between the face scan and the board report

Workers carry the scanner in their pocket. Managers see the whole workforce without leaving the desk.

Your HR team's superpower

Insights that used to take a pivot-table afternoon, generated before the morning toolbox talk.

Daily executive summary

"4 visas expiring this week · Vida is short 12 carpenters · 9% absence spike at Opal Garden." The whole picture in 30 seconds.

Attrition risk scoring

A 0–100 score per worker with the specific reasons — attendance drop, sick-leave spike, stale salary — so HR intervenes before the resignation.

Manpower recommendations

"Move 12 carpenters from GRC W/Shop → Vida." Specific workers, specific quantities. Idle crews redeployed in hours, not weeks.

Ask the data

"How many electricians are on leave at Vida this week?" Plain-English answers for supervisors — no IT ticket required.
