For shops and retail

Staff attendance for shops and showrooms

Your staff punch in on their own Android phone, with a selfie and a GPS fix inside the shop’s geofence. You see who opened up on time at every branch, and the month’s salary is worked out from the days they were actually there.

How it works

What Cadence does for shops and retail

  • One geofence per branch

    Add each shop as a location with its own address and radius. Choose which branches each person may punch in at, and every punch records which branch it came from.

  • Late marks without arguments

    Set the opening time and the grace minutes once. Late, half day and full day are worked out the same way for everyone, from the punch times.

  • Lunch breaks that are not counted as work

    If you turn it on, staff can punch out for lunch and back in, up to six times a day. The time away is not counted as worked.

  • Salary from the days worked

    Set each person’s monthly salary and Cadence shows what the month comes to, with the loss-of-pay days and the reason for each.

  • Cash, UPI or bank — all on record

    Pay salary, advances and bonuses from one Pay button. Every payment gets a numbered voucher you can print or share on WhatsApp, and the cash book totals what went out by cash, UPI and bank.

  • A lost phone, cut off in a click

    Each person punches in from a phone you approved. When a phone is lost or handed on, revoke it and it can no longer punch in.

Straight answers

Is it right for you?

A good fit if

  • A shop, showroom, pharmacy or chain of branches with 5 to 300 staff
  • Staff who each carry an Android phone
  • You pay a monthly salary and want it to follow attendance

Not a fit if

  • Most of your staff do not have a smartphone — Cadence has no shared attendance kiosk yet
  • You need staff on iPhones — there is no iPhone app
  • You need hourly wages or commission calculated for you

Questions

Asked by businesses like yours

What is a good attendance app for a small shop in India?

Cadence is an attendance app built for Indian businesses like shops and showrooms. Staff punch in on their Android phone with a selfie and a GPS fix inside the shop’s geofence, and the owner sees attendance, late marks and the month’s salary in a web console or the same app. Plans start at ₹999 a month for 20 staff, with a 14-day free trial.

Can I track attendance across several branches?

Yes. Each branch is a location with its own geofence, each employee can be allowed at all branches or only some, and every punch records the branch it was made at. Extra locations are a ₹499/month add-on on Starter and included in Business and Enterprise.

Do I need to buy a biometric machine?

No. Cadence runs on the staff’s own Android phones, so there is no device to buy, install or repair at each branch.

Can Cadence record salary paid in cash?

Yes. Payments can be recorded as cash, UPI or bank transfer. Each one gets a numbered payment voucher, and the cash book shows the totals by method for any period.
