Attendance Software for FMCG Companies: How JOJO Eliminated Fake GPS Check-Ins

Challenges

Manual GPS Attendance Was Easy to Fake

For years, JOJO asked employees to download a GPS camera app, switch on their location, and take a selfie to mark attendance. Hafiz Umer’s team had to guide every employee through the process by hand from the start. The bigger problem surfaced later. Employees found that changing the date on their phone let some of these apps accept a stale location and time as current, letting workers who were outside company premises or working somewhere else entirely mark themselves present.

Drowning in WhatsApp Attendance Photos

With over 1,000 employees, that GPS camera workflow produced a flood of photos every day, arriving through WhatsApp and email. If Hafiz Umer’s team was busy or unavailable when photos came in, they piled up in the same group threads, duplicated across days, with no simple way to separate yesterday’s picture from today’s. Checking attendance became a search through chat history instead of something anyone could pull up in minutes.

Solution

“We tried to go to an authentic software to get the exact location and timing,” Umer says. That search led JOJO to Resourceinn.

Tamper-Proof Location Locking

Resourceinn’s attendance software builds in a rule JOJO’s team specifically asked for. The app will not open if an employee has changed the date on their phone, and the location behind an attendance mark cannot be edited after the fact. That single control removed the loophole JOJO had been fighting for months.

Filterable, Centralized Attendance Records

Instead of scrolling through WhatsApp threads, HR can now go to a specific date and filter for exactly what they need, whether that means a single shift, a specific setup, or one employee’s record. What used to mean downloading and cross referencing photos one by one now takes a few clicks.

Impact

• 60 to 70 percent reduction in HR team workload
• Attendance verification time cut from 3 to 5 hours down to 1.5 hours
• No editable location or backdated attendance since implementation
• Full attendance history now available to every employee through self service

Why FMCG Companies Choose Resourceinn

For FMCG manufacturers evaluating attendance software for FMCG companies, JOJO’s experience is a clear example of what a tamper proof, self service system looks like at scale. Resourceinn works with more than 1,100 companies across more than 30 industries, and manufacturers with large frontline workforces consistently need the same things JOJO did. Attendance that cannot be gamed. Records HR can search instead of chase. A mobile app employees can actually use on their own.

“If there is a need for support, they respond immediately,” Umer says.

"I would recommend that you contact the Resourceinn team and bring it on board."

Results

“Earlier, if we were able to do the work in 3-4 hours or in 5 hours, to check the pictures, now if we want to check the attendance, we can complete it in 1.5 hours,” says Hafiz Umer. “After the implementation of Resourceinn, the workload on my team has reduced by 60-70%.”

Employees felt the change too. “Since Resourceinn app has come into use, it is a very friendly user. On one platform, it marks its daily attendance,” Umer says. Leave requests that used to mean a separate message to HR can now be submitted directly through the same app, alongside daily schedules and entry and exit times. JOJO has been running Resourceinn for six months, and the attendance issues that pushed them to look for a new system have been fully resolved.

"Alhamdulillah, most of our issues have been resolved. There are no issues with the attendance."

“It can easily sort out everything on one platform,” Umer adds, describing how employees now handle attendance, schedules, and leave requests without needing to chase HR for each one.
