Apps from ₹50,000 · Fixed quote within 2 hours of the meeting · Serving businesses across India
Quick answer
How much does an employee attendance and field-tracking app cost in India?
Mana Studio builds it as an Android + iOS app with a web admin panel, with optional AI features, starting from ₹50,000 for a focused first version (selfie + GPS attendance) and ₹1,00,000 for a full product with leave management, live field tracking and payroll export. Book a free 30-minute meeting and you get a fixed quotation within 2 hours of the meeting. The MVP takes 6–8 weeks, the full product 10–12 weeks. Mana Studio is based in Warangal, Telangana, and builds for field-staff businesses across India, in English, Telugu and Hindi. This replaces biometric machines field staff never reach and attendance registers filled in from memory at month end.

Why office biometrics don't work for field staff
A biometric machine sits in one office; staff who work at client sites, on delivery routes or across multiple locations never touch it. Attendance gets logged from memory or a WhatsApp "reached site" message, and payroll is built on that guesswork.
What we build
Selfie + GPS check-in and check-out, timestamped and geotagged
Live location for field staff during work hours (with staff consent settings)
Leave request and approval workflow
Overtime and late-arrival flags
Payroll-ready monthly export (CSV/Excel)
Manager dashboard: who's checked in, where, and for how long
Who uses it
A web app / PWA version — usable from a browser, no store install — is also possible if that fits your users better.
Manager: sees field staff location and status in real time
Employee: checks in/out, applies for leave, sees own attendance history
What you own at the end
Source code, store accounts in your business's name, and the full attendance and payroll database.
AI that removes manual work
AI is optional. These are the add-ons that pay for themselves by taking a repeated manual job off someone's desk.
Attendance anomaly alerts
Today: A staff member's repeated late check-ins or a fake-looking location goes unnoticed for months.
With automation: The system flags unusual patterns (late streaks, GPS mismatches) to the manager automatically.
Payroll summary drafting
Today: HR manually totals hours, leaves and overtime for every employee before running payroll.
With automation: A payroll-ready summary is generated automatically from the month's attendance data.
Field report entry by voice or photo
Today: Field staff type out visit notes on a small phone keyboard at the end of a tiring day.
With automation: A short voice note or site photo is converted into a structured visit report.
