Attendico Mobile NFC turns a compatible smartphone into a digital employee credential for time and attendance at an Attendico terminal. The employee uses the Attendico mobile app and presents the phone at the attendance point instead of carrying a separate physical card.<\/p>

It keeps the familiar fixed-terminal attendance process, but removes the need to issue, print and replace an additional card for employees who already use a compatible phone at work.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What is Mobile NFC employee attendance?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMobile NFC employee attendance is a phone-based identification method used at a physical attendance terminal. Instead of assigning a plastic card to the employee, Attendico associates the supported mobile identity with the correct employee profile.

When the employee arrives at the workplace, the attendance action still happens at a clear, defined terminal location. The phone is simply the credential used for identification. This makes Mobile NFC different from remote mobile check-in: the employee is still interacting with the workplace attendance point.

The result is a fast digital workflow that feels familiar to employees because the device is already part of their daily routine.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Why companies choose Mobile NFC attendance<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Mobile NFC is attractive when a company wants the control and clarity of a fixed attendance terminal without managing another physical credential for every employee.<\/p>

Less administration. <\/strong>When employees use their own smartphones to clock in and out, there\u2019s no need to issue or distribute separate NFC cards or key tags.<\/p>

Reduced risk of time fraud. <\/strong>Unlike attendance cards or NFC key tags, personal smartphones are much less likely to be shared between employees. This reduces the risk of coworkers clocking in or out on someone else’s behalf.<\/p>

Less likely to be forgotten.\u00a0<\/strong>Employees may forget their attendance cards or NFC key tags at home, but rarely leave without their smartphones. Using a device they already carry every day makes time tracking more convenient and reliable.<\/p>

One employee = One registered device. <\/strong>Each employee can register the Attendico app on only one smartphone at a time. Switching to a new phone requires an administrator to remove the previously registered device through ATS Cloud, ensuring controlled device registration and reducing the risk of unauthorized attendance tracking.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The key idea behind Mobile NFC is simple: the phone identifies the employee at the attendance terminal. The employee is not just pressing a generic clock-in button from anywhere. The workflow stays anchored to the physical attendance point while the credential becomes digital.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Frequently asked questions about Mobile NFC attendance<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

What is Mobile NFC time tracking?<\/strong><\/p>

Mobile NFC is a modern and secure employee identification method that allows employees to clock in and out at an Attendico NFC terminal using their own iPhone or Android smartphone instead of a physical NFC card or key tag.<\/p>

Can an employee clock in from anywhere with Mobile NFC?<\/strong><\/p>

No. Mobile NFC requires employees to physically present their smartphone at an Attendico NFC terminal. This ensures that attendance is recorded at a designated workplace location, rather than remotely.<\/p>

Does the employee need the Attendico app?<\/strong><\/p>

Yes. Employees use the Attendico mobile app on their iPhone or Android smartphone to identify themselves at the NFC terminal and record their working hours.<\/p>

Does every employee need a company phone?<\/strong><\/p>

No. Employees can use their own NFC-enabled iPhone or Android smartphone with the Attendico app. There is no need for the company to provide separate smartphones, attendance cards or NFC key tags.<\/p>

Can an employee use Attendico Mobile NFC on multiple smartphones?<\/strong><\/p>

No. One employee, one registered device<\/strong>. Each employee can register the Attendico app only on one smartphone at a time. To switch to another phone, an administrator must first remove the previously registered device through ATS Cloud. This provides greater control over employee identification and helps prevent attendance fraud.<\/p>

What happens to the attendance event after the phone is used?<\/strong><\/p>

Once an employee clocks in or out, the attendance event is linked to their employee profile and recorded in Attendico. Authorized administrators can view and manage attendance records centrally through ATS Cloud.<\/p>

Is Mobile NFC difficult for employees to learn?<\/strong><\/p>

Not at all. Employees simply open the Attendico app, hold their smartphone near the NFC terminal and complete their attendance action. It’s a quick, intuitive process that requires no physical cards or key tags.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
