Four Ways to Capture Attendance, One Unified Record
However an employee punches in, it lands in the same live record — visible to managers immediately.
Biometric Device Push
ZKTeco and Hikvision terminals push fingerprint and face punches to the cloud the instant they happen. ZKTeco devices use ADMS — the standard protocol biometric hardware uses to send attendance data automatically — so there's no manual sync or end-of-day download.
Mobile App Check-In
Field employees check in and out from their own phone, GPS-tagged to prove they were actually on-site. It keeps working without an internet connection and syncs automatically the moment the phone reconnects.
Kiosk Mode
A tablet mounted at a site or office entrance turns face or badge recognition into a no-login tap-and-go check-in — no app, no PIN, just a glance or a tap as employees walk in.
Manual Entry
For staff without a device or app — or to fix a one-off error — HR and managers can enter or correct a punch directly, so a broken scanner never leaves a gap in someone's record.
WorkNova Feature Explorer
Real-time visibility, multi-site support, approval workflows, reporting and device management — all in one attendance platform.
Real-Time Live Dashboards
- Every punch from any of the four capture channels appears on managers' dashboards the instant it happens
- Updates are pushed over WebSocket (SignalR) — the technology that sends new data to the screen the moment it changes, instead of the screen having to keep asking "anything new?"
- No page refresh, no polling, no waiting for a nightly batch sync
- Admins and managers see who's in, who's on-duty off-site, and who's missing — as it happens

Why Choose WorkNova
Frequently Asked Questions
Q.01
What is a biometric attendance system?
A biometric attendance system captures an employee's fingerprint or face at check-in and check-out, replacing manual registers or buddy-punched cards with a verified digital record. WorkNova also supports mobile GPS check-in, kiosk tap-in and manual entry, all feeding the same unified attendance record.
Q.02
Can attendance software work across multiple office locations?
Yes. WorkNova is built for multi-site, multi-branch and multi-company organizations, with each location independently configurable — from a head office in Chennai to project sites anywhere in Tamil Nadu or India — all visible from one dashboard.
Q.03
Does it work without internet?
The mobile app keeps working offline for field check-in and check-out, storing the punch locally and syncing automatically the moment the phone reconnects. Biometric devices and the kiosk app need a connection to push data live.
Q.04
What is ADMS and how do ZKTeco devices integrate?
ADMS is the standard protocol ZKTeco biometric devices use to push attendance data to the cloud automatically, without anyone manually downloading logs from the machine. WorkNova receives these pushes in real time, alongside Hikvision terminal integration.
Q.05
Can employees request corrections to a missed or wrong punch?
Yes, through the attendance regularization workflow — an employee submits a correction request for a missed or incorrect punch, and their manager approves or rejects it, keeping a clear audit trail.
