The problem

Startups and growing businesses were relying on manual, self-reported attendance — easy to fake, hard to audit, and impossible to scale across multiple sites.

The solution

Built a location-verified check-in system with role-based dashboards, so managers get a real-time, trustworthy view of attendance without chasing spreadsheets.

Architecture

Next.js App Router frontend with Firebase Auth for identity, Firestore for real-time attendance records, and Cloudflare R2 for asset storage — chosen to keep infra costs low while staying real-time at small-to-mid team scale.

Key features

• GPS-verified check-in / check-out
• Secure authentication & role-based access
• Employee management dashboard
• Real-time attendance tracking
