Quick answer

Natively integrated with GPS geofencing and mobile attendance check-ins, comparing actual punch-in times against assigned rosters to calculate late cuts or overtime.

Supports Indian compliance standards (like the Factories Act) for overtime calculation, night allowances, and mandatory weekly offs.

Key benefits

How it works

  1. 1. Create Shift Templates — Define your shifts (General 9-6, Night 10-7) and grace policies. Add rules for overtime pay rates and night shift allowances.
  2. 2. Schedule Weekly Rota Plans — Assign employees to shift slots using the roster manager. Clone templates to schedule months ahead or adjust schedules for specific dates.
  3. 3. Track & Process to Payroll — Employees punch in via geofenced GPS. Avani matches actual logs with the roster, pushing cleaned attendance hours directly to the payroll engine.

Frequently asked questions

Does Avani support midnight-crossing shifts (e.g., 10 PM to 6 AM)?

Yes. Avani is designed for midnight-crossing shifts. It correctly associates the attendance, hours worked, and allowances to the shift starting date, ensuring salary calculations and compliance logs are accurate.

Can we assign different shift schedules to different employees?

Yes. You can assign shifts on an individual level, by department, or by branch office. You can create rotation cycles where employees shift from morning to night schedules automatically every week.

How does geofencing link with shift management?

When geofencing is enabled, employees can only punch in when they are within their assigned office coordinates or site location, and the check-in is verified against their scheduled shift time to check if they are late.

Are shift schedules visible to employees on mobile?

Yes. Employees log in to their self-service portal to view their active roster, shift calendars, weekly off schedules, and can request swaps or attendance corrections from their dashboard.
