Alternatively, distributed clock-ins allow employees to check in and out using their mobile phones. This method provides flexibility for remote workers or field employees. The mobile solution leverages geolocation technology to ensure that staff can only clock in when they are physically present at designated work locations, preventing any manipulation of attendance data.

For organizations seeking the best of both worlds, Presence allows for hybrid deployment, combining both centralized and distributed options. This approach mitigates potential downsides, such as limited access to a physical terminal in centralized setups or the need for strict location verification in distributed environments. By offering multiple ways to clock in, the system provides redundancy and ensures continuous, accurate attendance tracking, even in the event of technical issues or employee mobility.
