Multi-Location Offices – Staff Attendance + Multi-Shift + HO/Branches/Regional Offices/Department Heads/Reception/Admin/IT/Back Office Role Mapping + Late/Early Rules + OT Approval + Location-wise Deployment & Desk Accountability + Geo/Device-Based Punch Control + Audit-Ready Logs + Payroll Export Automation | Modi Group ✅
Multi-location offices me attendance sirf HR nahi — branch discipline, reception/service desk coverage, regional team productivity, policy compliance aur management control sab location-wise dashboard + role mapping se linked hota hai. Agar geo/device-based punch control + approvals + audit logs strong nahi hoga toh proxy attendance, salary disputes, weak monitoring aur productivity loss create hote hain.
