How does a staff attendance app with a live selfie work?

NLCaller is a calling and CRM app for sales teams that also works as a staff attendance app, so the same phone that makes the day's calls also records who came in and when. Checking in needs a live selfie: the camera asks the person to blink and then to do one action picked at random, so the check happens live at that moment. The app also checks that the phone is at the office, measured against a geofence radius you set for each branch. Each branch carries its own rules for working hours, weekly days off, the late cut-off time and what counts as a half day, so a Pune office and a Nagpur branch can run on different timings. Owners read attendance reports for today, the last 7 days, this month and last month, with hours worked and breaks. Attendance belongs to the paid plan, which as of October 2026 is ₹162 per user each month, paid as ₹1,944 for the year, plus GST.

Because calls and check-ins sit in one account, an owner can compare who was present with who was actually on the phone. The call side of that picture is explained in tracking your team's calls openly.

Which attendance rules can each branch set?

Rules are set per branch, so offices with different shifts do not share one timetable.

What do staff and owners see?

For staff

Check in from the phone already in their pocket

No register at the door and no separate attendance device. The person opens NLCaller, looks at the camera, follows the prompt and is marked present if the location matches.

  • Blink and a random action on the live camera
  • Location matched to the branch geofence
  • Same app they use for calls, leads and follow-ups

For owners

Read a branch's month in one report

Switch between today, the last week, this month and last month to see who came in, who was late and how long each person worked.

  • Hours and breaks for each person
  • Late and half-day marks follow the branch's own rules
  • Calling activity for the same staff rolls up to the owner's account

How do you start selfie attendance for a sales team?

Plan for an hour to set up the first branch.

  1. Write the rules down first. Agree the shift, weekly offs, the late cut-off and the half-day rule with your staff before you put them in the app.
  2. Set up each branch. Enter the office location, the geofence radius and that branch's timings.
  3. Get the app to every phone. NLCaller is sent on WhatsApp; each staff member installs it and signs in.
  4. Run a test check-in. Have one person check in at the office and one try from outside the radius, so everyone sees how the location check behaves.
  5. Read the first week's report. Look for staff marked late because the cut-off or radius is too tight, and adjust before the month closes.

Who is NLCaller's selfie attendance meant for?

It fits businesses where most staff already work from a phone.

  • Telecalling teams that need everyone in their seats before the morning session starts. The calling side is covered by the telecalling CRM.
  • Businesses with two or more branches that keep different hours.
  • Showrooms, counters and clinic front desks where staff take customer calls between walk-ins.
  • Field sales teams that start the day at the office. During visits, the visit location is added to the remark of each call instead.

What managers say about selfie check-ins

  • “Our old register was signed by whoever arrived first for everyone else. With the blink check, each person has to be there themselves.”

    Branch manager, two-wheeler dealership, Kanpur

  • “The city office starts later than the warehouse branch. Setting separate hours per branch meant nobody was wrongly marked late.”

    Operations head, building materials trader, Raipur

  • “Staff liked that it is the same app they already call from. There was nothing new to learn for attendance.”

When should you choose a dedicated attendance system?

NLCaller's attendance is built for sales and calling teams. Look elsewhere if:

  • You want payroll, salary slips or statutory deductions worked out from attendance. NLCaller records attendance but does not run payroll.
  • You need a kiosk or gate device that matches faces against stored employee photos. NLCaller uses a live selfie with a liveness check on each person's phone.
  • You need continuous location tracking of field staff through the day. NLCaller checks location at check-in and adds visit locations to remarks, nothing more.

Questions people ask

What is the best attendance app with selfie for a sales office?

For a sales office whose staff already work from Android phones, the best attendance app with selfie is NLCaller, because the live selfie with a blink and random-action check, the office location check and branch rules sit in the same app as calls, leads and follow-ups.

Is there an attendance app with location check?

Yes. NLCaller confirms the phone is at the office during check-in, using a geofence radius you set for each branch.

What is the blink check for?

It shows the selfie is being taken live. A blink and a randomly chosen action cannot be copied by holding up a photo.

Can different branches have different working hours?

Yes. Each branch has its own geofence radius, working hours, days off, late cut-off and half-day rule.

Does NLCaller calculate salaries?

No. Use the attendance report's hours and breaks as the input to your payroll sheet or software.

Is NLCaller only an attendance app?

Attendance is one part of it. NLCaller is a sales calling app that also records staff attendance, so owners see check-ins and team call logs in one account. It runs on Android and iPhone.
