Abstract

Traditional methods of managing attendance records, particularly in educational institutions like schools, often rely on manual written records, which can be limited by issues such as lack of transparency and accuracy. This study introduces a web application that aims to overcome these limitations by automating tasks and improving transparency and accuracy through the use of geofencing technology. By creating virtual boundaries around predefined areas and requiring teachers to record their location coordinates during attendance, the system can accurately determine their presence or absence based on their location relative to these boundaries. Offering features like real-time tracking, automated reporting, and trend analysis, this system can provide valuable insights into attendance patterns not only for schools but also for industries like healthcare, logistics, and manufacturing. The attendance tracking system utilizing geofencing technology presents a solution for organizations to efficiently and precisely monitor attendance, enhancing operational efficiency and accountability.
