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.

  • Admin/HR: attendance reports, leave approvals, payroll export
  • 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.

Frequently asked questions

How much does an attendance app cost?

An MVP with selfie + GPS attendance is ₹50,000; the full app with leave and payroll export is ₹1,00,000. A fixed quote comes within 2 hours of a free meeting.

How long does it take to build?

6–8 weeks for the MVP, 10–12 weeks for the full product.

Does check-in work with poor network at remote sites?

Yes, check-in/out is captured offline with GPS and timestamp, and syncs once a connection is available.

Does it support Telugu and Hindi?

Yes, the app can be built in English, Telugu and Hindi for field staff comfort.

Who owns the attendance and payroll data?

You do. The database and store accounts are registered in your business's name.

Can you customise ready-made HR attendance software instead?

Sometimes, if its API allows it. Most off-the-shelf HR apps charge per employee per month indefinitely; a custom build is a one-time cost you own.

Is there a monthly maintenance cost?

An optional care plan at ₹8,000 per month covers updates and fixes; it's optional.
