Gate check-in and check-out
Guards record when each helper arrives and leaves, from the guard view of the app.
Linked to units
Each helper is assigned to the units they work in, so attendance shows up for the right residents.
Multi-unit helpers
A helper who works in several flats is one profile, assigned across all of them.
Attendance history
Residents see when their helpers came and went — useful at month-end and when there's a disagreement.
Approvals
Residents and admins approve which helpers are registered for which units.
Society-wide view
Admins and guards see every registered helper, which makes it easier to spot someone who isn't registered.
The details
Why helper attendance matters
Most Indian households employ daily help — maids, cooks, drivers, nannies. Paying them fairly at month-end means knowing which days they worked, and most families track that from memory or a notebook. For the society, the question is different: who is coming through the gate every day, and are they registered?
How it works
- Register the helper and assign them to the units they work in.
- At the gate, the guard checks them in on arrival and out on departure.
- Residents see the history for their helpers in the app.
- Admins see everyone, across all units, for security oversight.
Fewer month-end disputes
When both the resident and the helper can point to the same record of days worked, month-end conversations are simpler. And because the record comes from the gate, it doesn't depend on anyone remembering to write it down.
Part of the gate workflow
Helper check-ins sit in the same guard view as visitor management and SOS alerts, so guards use one app for the whole gate.
