HudooriFingerprint device or mobile?
A fingerprint device records whoever stands in front of it, where it is installed. A phone with a site geofence and a live photo records the employee wherever their work site is. Here is a practical comparison to choose what fits your company.

The comparison
| Item | Fingerprint device | Hudoori on mobile |
|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | Buying and installing a device for each site | No device — the employee’s phone |
| Field sites and branches | A device in every location | A geofence for each site, from the dashboard |
| Cheating | A colleague’s fingerprint, or checking in and leaving | A live photo inside the geofence, plus random checks during the shift |
| Absence tracking | You find out at the end of the month | Right now, with a WhatsApp reminder before absence |
| Requests and payroll | Another system and paperwork | In the same app, with the payslip ready |
| Outages | Device maintenance and downtime | Saves offline and sends later |
| Team communication | Outside the device | Chats and calls inside the app |
When mobile fits
- Teams at field sites or multiple branches.
- Projects and work sites that change.
- Companies that want attendance, requests and payroll in one system.
- Fixed working times or flexible hours.
Before you choose
- Hudoori needs a smartphone for each employee: the Android app, or the phone’s browser.
- Location is tracked during working hours only and stops at check-out.
- Face verification is optional for extra assurance.
- Try it free with a small team before rolling it out.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a device or installation?
No. The employee’s phone and the manager dashboard in any browser are enough.
Does it work offline?
Yes. It saves the check-in and sends it when the connection returns.
Does it track employees outside working hours?
No. Tracking is during working hours only and stops at check-out.
Is a photo from the gallery accepted?
No. The photo is taken live from the camera, inside the site geofence.
