Attendance for security guards and site-based teams
Guards and site teams are spread across many locations, often with weak signal and no one watching. Dawmly proves who clocked in, where, and when: a GPS-verified punch, a radius per site, a photo on each punch, and offline queuing when there is no signal.
Common problems
- Guards clock in for each other, or from home
- Sites are remote and phone signal is unreliable
- Supervisors cannot be at every site to check
- Night shifts and rest-day work need careful pay calculation
How Dawmly helps
- GPS geofencing (Plan: Growth) — Set a radius per site and reject punches from outside it, on both clock-in and clock-out.
- Selfie check-in (Plan: Growth) — Capture a selfie on every punch for a supervisor to review; there is no face matching.
- Offline attendance (Plan: Every plan) — Punches are saved on the phone with no signal and sync when it returns.
- Field visits (Plan: Growth) — Schedule supervisor visits to sites with a timeline of what happened.
- Payroll (Plan: Growth) — Night, rest-day and holiday overtime calculated from approved attendance.
What it costs
For example, a team of 50 costs 1,950 EGP per month on Starter or 3,250 EGP per month on Growth, in Egyptian pounds with volume bands. The Free plan stays free forever for up to 5 employees. See pricing.
Frequently asked questions
Can I stop a guard clocking in from home?
Yes. With geofencing on the Growth plan you set a radius per site, and punches outside it are rejected when enforcement is on.
What if a site has no signal?
Punches are saved on the phone and sync when the connection returns. This works on every plan.
Is the selfie used to recognise faces?
No. The selfie is stored for a supervisor to review. Dawmly does not match faces.
