Tracking attendance in a logistics business is very different from office or factory environments.

Logistics companies often manage:

✅ Delivery staff on the move
 ✅ Warehouse teams on multiple shifts
 ✅ Drivers covering multiple routes
 ✅ Third-party / contract staff at client locations

👉 Traditional attendance systems (biometric terminals, manual registers) don’t work well for such distributed workforces.

That’s why more Indian logistics companies are adopting AI-powered mobile attendance apps like PagarAi’s AI Face Recognition Attendance System.

In this blog, we’ll explore:

✅ Common logistics attendance challenges
 ✅ How AI Face Recognition + Geo-fencing works
 ✅ Key benefits → payroll accuracy, compliance, staff trust
 ✅ Real-world impact with PagarAi

Common Attendance Challenges in Indian Logistics Businesses

Top 5 challenges logistics companies face:

1️⃣ Tracking Field / Mobile Staff

Delivery executives, drivers, field support staff → on the move all day.
 👉 Fixed biometric systems can’t track them.

2️⃣ Managing Multiple Locations

• Warehouses in different cities → each with separate attendance devices
• Difficult to get centralized real-time visibility

3️⃣ Handling Contract / Third-party Workers

• Contractual / third-party staff → often no integration with internal attendance systems
• Manual registers → lead to payroll disputes

4️⃣ Overtime & Shift Tracking

• Many delivery & warehouse staff work shifts + overtime
• Manual errors in overtime tracking → leads to payroll mistakes

5️⃣ Payroll & Compliance Risks

• Attendance errors → TDS, PF, ESI miscalculations
• Compliance gaps → penalties & brand damage

How AI Face Recognition + Geo-fencing Attendance Works

PagarAi’s AI Face Attendance App solves these challenges with mobile-first design:

1️⃣ Staff uses mobile app → Face Recognition login
 2️⃣ Geo-fencing ensures attendance can only be marked at:

• Warehouse
• Hub
• Client location
• Approved field zones

3️⃣ Attendance marked in real time → synced to central dashboard
 4️⃣ Works even in low-connectivity zones → offline sync supported
 5️⃣ Attendance data auto-flows into:

• Payroll Software
• Compliance Engine

Key Benefits for Indian Logistics Companies
