Embassies & diplomatic missions
Verified attendance for embassy staff and contractors.
ShiftFence is a geofenced time clock. Staff clock in from their own phones, only inside each property's boundary, and every punch gets the official server time that nobody can change afterward. Our team sets everything up for you.
The challenge for a mission
Several properties
Chancery, consular section, residence and annexes, each with its own staff, posts and hours.
Mixed workforce
Local hires, contracted security, drivers, cleaning and maintenance crews on different schedules.
Accountability
When hours or coverage are questioned, paper sign-in sheets and editable apps don't settle it.
Privacy expectations
Staff should not be tracked outside working hours, and records must stay restricted.
A boundary around every property
- One account covers the chancery, consular office, residence and annexes as separate sites.
- Each boundary is sized to the property: tight for a gatehouse post, wider for a compound.
- Accuracy is checked on every punch, including in garages and basements.
- Supervisors get late and no-show alerts within minutes.
Simple for staff, on their own phone
One tap to clock in. It opens from the home screen like an app, with nothing to download from a store.
Privacy built in
Clock in
Location is read once to confirm the staff member is inside the boundary.
On shift
No background tracking. Optional check-ins only if the mission turns them on and staff agree.
Clock out
Location is read once more. Nothing is collected after the shift.
Staff sign the mission's location policy in the app before their first clock-in. GPS confirms where a phone is, not who is holding it.
Records that hold up when questioned
Punches are never edited or deleted, even by administrators. Fixes are added as approved corrections and the original stays visible. Every approval is logged. Reports come as branded Excel and PDF, with a code anyone can use to verify them.
For your security office
- Isolation
- Each organization's data is walled off at the database level. No other customer can read it.
- Access by role
- Administrators, supervisors and staff each see only what their role allows.
- Encryption
- All traffic is encrypted in transit; data is stored encrypted at rest.
- Private files
- Logos and any photos stay in private storage, opened only through short-lived links after a role check.
- Nothing on your network
- No hardware and no installs. Nothing connects to the mission's internal systems.
- Location minimized
- Precise coordinates are cleared after the retention period; the pay record is kept.
