GPS geofence attendance from the phone browser in Odoo 19
Employees check in on one mobile page with their PIN and an optional selfie. The server, not the browser, decides whether they are inside the work-site zone, and managers get flagged punches in a daily report. No app to install. Community and Enterprise, $79 on the Odoo Apps Store.

The problem
Employees can clock in from home or from the car park, and standard Odoo attendance cannot tell whether a check-in happened at the work site.
A kiosk needs a device at the door, and plain systray check-in trusts whatever the browser says.
Who it is for
- Multi-branch retail and restaurant teams
- Field teams, drivers and site crews
- Community users who want location-checked attendance
What it does
Zones per site
GPS centre and radius in metres, per company; assign employees to one or several zones.
Server-side check
The distance to the assigned zones is computed on the server; out-of-zone punches are flagged or blocked.
PIN and selfie
The standard employee PIN, verified on the server; five failures lock the page for 15 minutes. Selfie optional or required.
Manager review
Zone, distance, device and photo on each attendance, an Out of Zone filter, map links and a daily email of flagged punches.
Standard attendance underneath
Punches use the native check-in flow, so worked hours, overtime and reports keep working.
Requirements
- Odoo 19 Community and Enterprise.
- Depends on:
hr_attendance - The standard Attendances app (
hr_attendance). - HTTPS on your Odoo domain, which browsers require for geolocation.
- Hosting: Odoo.sh or your own server. Odoo Online does not accept third-party modules.
Screenshots, the full feature list and the change log are on the Odoo Apps Store listing.
Two ways to buy
$79
The module licence from the official Odoo Apps Store. You install it yourself or with your Odoo partner. Bug fixes from the developer are included.
- Licence bought and downloaded through Odoo
- Updates for the Odoo 19.0 series
- Bug fixes from EHC by email
$379
Module licence at the store price, plus EHC installs it, configures it with your data and supports your team for 30 days. EHC sends you an invoice; nothing is charged online.
- Installed on a staging copy first, then on your live database
- Configured with your settings and tested with your own records
- A handover session for the people who will use it
- 30 days of email support after go-live
Setup fee $300: an outside account or workflow is connected and tested end to end (API keys, payment test, bank file, approvals).
Same module, same code on both routes. The Odoo Apps Store price is never higher than the price on this site; the package adds services only.
Questions buyers ask
What is the difference between the store and the setup package?
The store sells the licence only and you install it. The package is the same licence at the same price plus installation, configuration and 30 days of support by EHC, invoiced by EHC.
Do employees need to install an app?
No. They open one page in the phone browser.
Does it track employees in the background?
No. Location is read once, on the punch, after the browser asks for consent.
Does it use face recognition?
No. There is no biometric hardware and no face recognition. The optional selfie is stored for officers to review.
Can out-of-zone check-ins be blocked?
Yes. Turn on strict mode in Settings; otherwise they are recorded and flagged.
How is this different from Dawam?
This module is a browser page for attendance only. Dawam is a native employee app with payslips, leave and HR requests, and needs Enterprise Payroll.
