Preez for warehouses
Attendance app for warehouses and godowns
Attendance for warehouses and distribution sites: shift workers check in at the gate with location and a selfie, night shifts are handled, and supervisors can mark workers without phones.
Short answer: Preez records warehouse shift attendance at each site. Workers check in on their phone with location and a live selfie, night shifts that cross midnight count towards the day they started, and supervisors can enter attendance for workers without a phone, with a reason.
Where attendance goes wrong in warehouses
- Large sites and loading yards make a single register point a queue at shift change.
- Night shifts cross midnight and are counted inconsistently.
- Some workers do not have smartphones.
- Network is poor inside the building.
How Preez handles it
| You need | Preez |
|---|---|
| Large sites | Set a larger attendance area that covers the whole compound. |
| Night shifts | Shifts that end after midnight count towards the day they started. |
| Workers without phones | Supervisors enter attendance for them; the entry is marked as manager-entered with a reason. |
| Poor network inside | Check-ins are saved on the phone and synced later; they show as verified only once the server accepts them. |
| Overtime | Hours beyond the shift are calculated and can be approved by a manager. |
Setting up Preez for warehouses
- Have workers check in at the gate, where GPS and network are best.
- Size the attendance area to cover the compound, not just the office building.
- Create one shift per rotation (morning, evening, night).
Questions
What about workers who do not have smartphones?
A supervisor can record their attendance in Preez. The entry is marked as manager-entered with a reason, so it is never confused with a verified check-in.
Does it work without internet inside the warehouse?
Yes. The check-in is saved on the phone and sent when the connection returns.
Can Preez calculate overtime?
Yes. Overtime minutes are calculated from shift times and can be approved by a manager.
