GPS Tracking & Geofence Time Clock
Know where your team is in real-time. Geofenced clock-ins verify presence at work sites automatically, eliminating buddy punching and time fraud.
For companies with mobile workforces, knowing where employees are and verifying they're at the right location is critical.
InstaNotified provides real-time GPS tracking during active shifts, geofenced clock-in/out that prevents buddy punching, and automatic alerts when employees leave their assigned site. All location data feeds directly into timesheets for accurate payroll.

What you get
Geofenced Clock-Ins. Employees can only clock in when physically inside the geofence around their assigned site. Eliminates buddy punching and remote clock-ins.
Live Location Map. View all on-duty employees on an interactive map in real-time. See who's at which site and track movement between locations.
Geofence Alerts. Get notified when an employee leaves their assigned geofence early, arrives late, or is detected outside their work site during a shift.
Automatic Timesheet Integration. GPS-verified clock-in and clock-out times flow directly into timesheets. No manual time entry, no disputes, no errors.
Privacy-First Design. Tracking requires employee consent and can be disabled at any time. Full compliance with privacy regulations.
Reduce Time Fraud. Companies using GPS time clocks report measurable reduction in labor costs by eliminating early clock-ins, late clock-outs, and off-site time punches.
How it works
Set geofences around work sites
Draw geofence boundaries on a map for each site. Set the radius from 50 meters to 5 kilometers depending on site size.
Employees clock in via mobile app
The app verifies the employee is inside the geofence before allowing clock-in. GPS coordinates are recorded.
Track location during active shifts
Supervisors see live locations on a map. Geofence exit alerts are sent if an employee leaves the site boundary.
Timesheets populated automatically
Clock-in/out times with GPS verification feed directly into payroll. No manual entry or approvals needed.

Frequently asked questions
Is GPS tracking active all the time?
Tracking requires employee consent and can be disabled at any time. This is configurable per company policy.
How accurate is the geofence?
Geofences use GPS accuracy of 5-15 meters in most conditions. You can set the geofence radius from 50m to 5km to accommodate different site sizes and GPS variability.
What if there's no GPS signal inside a building?
Uses device GPS for location accuracy. For underground or indoor sites, NFC checkpoint scanning provides an alternative verification method.
Does this integrate with payroll?
Yes. GPS-verified clock times flow directly into InstaNotified's built-in payroll module (available on the Complete plan). You can also export timesheets to external payroll providers.
