Daily Attendance App — The Live Multi-Site Board on Your Phone
A daily attendance app is not a register you write in once and forget. It is the live board for today — what is happening on every one of your sites, right now, on a single phone screen. Yojo turns daily attendance from a Saturday-night spreadsheet into a real-time view of crew presence across every project you run. Three sites, three supervisors, one screen for the contractor in the WhatsApp chat asking "how many workers on Site B today?".

How does the live multi-site view work across every project today?
How does the live multi-site view work across every project today?
Daily attendance answers a present-tense question — who is on which site at this hour, today. Yojo opens to a single screen showing all your active sites, the count of workers marked present so far at each, the count still unmarked, and a live timestamp of last sync per site. A contractor watching from the office knows by 8:30 AM exactly which site is short-staffed today — without calling the supervisor.
What the contractor sees from the office
A single dashboard with one card per active site. Each card shows: worker count marked today, count expected, gap (if any), last-sync timestamp. A red dot signals a site that has not synced in the last 30 minutes — worth a check-in call.
What each supervisor sees on their phone
Supervisor A sees only Site 1 (their assigned site) by default. They can switch sites with one tap if they cover multiple. They cannot edit another supervisor's entries without leaving an audit trail visible to the contractor.
How sync handles the no-signal cases
When a site has no signal, hajri marks queue locally. The phone shows a "pending sync" badge so the supervisor knows the entries are saved but not yet shared. When the phone touches network — driving home, reaching a tea-stall with WiFi, anywhere — pending entries upload silently in the background.
End-of-day reconciliation: closing today across sites
At 7 PM the contractor needs one PDF: total workers across all sites today, broken down by skill. The Yojo daily attendance app generates this from the same live data — no separate report-building step. Cross-site daily attendance close happens in one tap, lands in the WhatsApp share sheet, gets sent to the principal contractor before dinner.
How a Hyderabad contractor replaced three WhatsApp lists with one report
Anil P. supervises 120 workers across three Hyderabad sites — one IT-park interior fitout, one residential tower, one road project. Before Yojo, each site supervisor sent a daily attendance message to his WhatsApp at 7 PM. Reconciling three lists into one end-of-day total took 30-45 minutes every day, with disputes about who counted whom. After moving to a daily attendance app with a multi-site dashboard, the three lists became one consolidated PDF that lands automatically at 7 PM. The reconciliation step disappeared; Anil reviews the consolidated report in the time it takes to drink tea. Generic pattern; actual time savings depend on supervisor punctuality and crew turnover.
Compliance context: multi-site daily attendance under BOCW
The Building and Other Construction Workers (BOCW) Act 1996 and its central rules require contractors to maintain daily attendance records per project site (Form XIII or its state equivalent). When a contractor runs multiple sites, each site needs its own daily attendance record — the records cannot be commingled into one project-level document. A daily attendance app that separates site-level attendance while letting the contractor see the consolidated view (as Yojo does) satisfies both the per-site compliance requirement and the contractor's operational need. The central BOCW portal is at bocw.gov.in; each state has its own welfare board where Form XIII (or equivalent) registration is required.
How daily attendance connects to wages, muster, and the labour book
In Yojo, the daily attendance entry is the source — every downstream artefact derives from it. Mark P / Half / OT once, and the muster roll for the day is automatic, the [labour book](/en/labour-book/) balance for that worker updates immediately, and the wage calculation rolls into the weekly settlement view. The "daily attendance app" is really the input layer of the contractor's whole settlement workflow — separate from but connected to the [hajri book app](/en/hajri-book/) (which focuses on the 7 AM marking workflow itself).

Today vs yesterday — the comparison contractors actually look at
A useful daily attendance app does not just show today — it shows today against yesterday and against the rolling 7-day average. Why? Because if Site B had 18 workers yesterday and 11 today, something has gone wrong before lunch. Yojo surfaces the delta automatically, so the contractor sees the dip on the home screen instead of finding out at end-of-week settlement.
