How We Prevent Attendance Fraud Using GPS Verification
Attendify has developed a GPS-based attendance verification system to combat fraud in educational and organizational settings. This system uses browser-based geofencing to ensure participants are physically present at events without the need for app installation. By implementing strict integrity checks, Attendify aims to provide accurate attendance records in real time.
- ▪Traditional attendance systems are vulnerable to fraud, including shared QR codes and manual verification errors.
- ▪Attendify's GPS geofencing requires participants to be within a defined geographic boundary to check in.
- ▪The system includes multiple integrity checks to prevent manipulation, such as device identity validation and timestamp logging.
