Eliminate buddy punching and broken biometric hardware forever. SANLAX combines AI selfie facial verification, virtual GPS branch geofencing, rotational shift scheduling, and native attendance-to-payroll calculations built specifically for Indian retail stores, multi-branch offices, and field operations.
For decades, Indian businesses relied on standalone biometric fingerprint machines mounted near the door. But in practical day-to-day operations, these devices present continuous operational bottlenecks:
The SANLAX Solution: Turn every employee's smartphone or a communal store tablet into a high-precision biometric terminal. Staff capture a quick selfie inside the designated GPS store perimeter, and attendance is verified and synced to the payroll cloud instantaneously.
| Feature | Fingerprint Machine | SANLAX HRMS |
|---|---|---|
| Hardware Cost | ₹8,000 – ₹25,000 / store | ₹0 (Uses Smartphone) |
| Buddy Punching Prevention | Moderate (Silicone clones) | High (Live Selfie Verification) |
| Multi-Branch Geofencing | Requires machine per site | Virtual circles (50m–500m) |
| Field Staff Tracking | Impossible | Live GPS & Routes |
| Payroll Synchronization | Manual USB / CSV export | Automatic 1-Click Sync |
| Setup & Deployment | Days (Wiring & tech visit) | 5 Minutes Cloud Setup |
Everything you need to control staff check-ins, eliminate workplace time theft, enforce shift discipline, and calculate salaries with 100% mathematical accuracy.
Employees open the mobile app or browser, click attendance, and snap a real-time selfie. The camera engine performs facial biometric analysis against their approved profile registration.
Set customizable GPS geofence radiuses around your office, retail store, warehouse, or customer site. Employees cannot register a punch until they are physically on premise.
Manage rotational, morning, night, and split shifts with complete clarity. Automate grace arrival periods, late-mark flags, half-day computations, and approved overtime tracking.
For sales reps, delivery couriers, and on-site technicians, SANLAX tracks live location pings with secure WebSockets. Admins monitor moving teams in real-time on interactive maps.
Forgot to punch out? Network dropped during checkout? Employees submit digital regularization requests with valid reasons directly from their smartphone self-service portal.
Attendance is meaningless if you still spend three days calculating salaries in Excel. SANLAX directly bridges daily attendance into monthly payslips with statutory precision.
Engineered for effortless daily adoption by ground staff with minimal technical literacy.
Employees open the web portal (or Android app) on their smartphone. On clicking "Mark Check-In", the camera activates, verifies their face against their registered biometric master profile, and locks the live timestamp.
Simultaneously, the device GPS matches current coordinates against the employer's assigned branch circle (e.g. 100 meters). If the staff member is at home or in a neighboring tea shop outside the boundary, check-in is blocked.
Within 200 milliseconds, the admin dashboard reflects the employee as "Present - On Time". Shifts, late marks, and hours are calculated automatically and ready for monthly salary generation with zero export headaches.
Designed from the ground up to keep your business fully audit-proof under state and central labor codes.
Export monthly attendance registers formatted to statutory Form T and Form 12 standards with working hours, rest intervals, and overtime logs ready for labor inspector reviews.
Enables overtime tracking aligned with statutory standards (up to 2x ordinary rate of pay) when employee working hours exceed 9 hours in a day or 48 hours in a week.
Integrates the ₹15,000 EPF statutory wage ceiling and ₹21,000 gross ESI wage threshold, splitting contributions accurately into employee and employer accounts.
Built with end-to-end encryption. Camera selfies and GPS coordinates are strictly utilized for attendance validation and never sold, shared, or processed for external tracking.
Different industries face fundamentally different workforce dynamics. Discover how SANLAX adapts to your operational reality without forcing you into rigid, one-size-fits-all software.
Retail operators struggle with high attrition, part-time shifts, and staff transfers across mall outlets and high-street locations. With SANLAX:
Clinical environments demand 100% contactless operation to uphold hygiene protocols, along with complex 24/7 rotational rosters:
Industrial factory floors face rough physical conditions where grease, machine oil, and worn worker fingerprints render physical sensors useless:
Traveling sales executives and delivery fleet workers rarely step foot in headquarters, making static biometric hardware impossible:
Knowledge workers demand flexible hybrid work policies while management requires transparent hours logging and leave oversight:
Hospitality teams operate in wet kitchen environments with late weekend closing times and urgent temporary staffing needs:
A transparent look at the exact formulas, compliance rules, and deduction logic executed inside the SANLAX payroll engine every month.
Different Indian organizations follow different wage divisor conventions. SANLAX gives HR teams full flexibility to select their statutory standard:
Earned Gross Calculation: Earned Gross = (Payable Days / Divisor) × Gross Monthly Salary. Payable days include present days, sanctioned paid leaves, declared public holidays, and paid weekly offs.
Shift discipline requires automated, predictable enforcement rather than subjective supervisor penalties:
Under Indian labor jurisprudence, working beyond 9 hours in any single day or beyond 48 hours in a given week qualifies as statutory overtime:
SANLAX tracks exact overtime minutes from punch-out timestamps and allows HR administrators to approve, modify, or convert overtime into compensatory off (Comp-Off) balances.
Under Rule 2(1) of the Central Ease of Compliance in Labour Laws Rules, Indian establishments must maintain a unified register of attendance, overtime, fines, and wage disbursements. SANLAX automates this record-keeping seamlessly:
Payroll accuracy depends on applying the precise statutory deduction ceilings and contribution splits mandated by the EPFO and ESIC:
| Statutory Component | Statutory Wage Base | Employee Deduction | Employer Contribution |
|---|---|---|---|
| Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) | Basic + DA (Capped at ₹15,000/mo) | 12.0% (Max ₹1,800) | 3.67% EPF + 8.33% EPS (Max ₹1,250) + 0.5% Admin |
| Employees' State Insurance (ESIC) | Gross Monthly Wage (≤ ₹21,000/mo threshold) | 0.75% of Gross | 3.25% of Gross |
| Professional Tax (PT) | State Specific Monthly Slabs | ₹150 – ₹200/mo (₹300 Feb MH) | Nil (Employee Contribution Only) |
Everything you need to know about setting up and running SANLAX employee attendance software.
SANLAX is a modern, cloud-based employee attendance management software designed specifically for Indian businesses, retail chains, and field workforces. It eliminates expensive biometric hardware by turning staff smartphones or store tablets into verified punch-in terminals using mobile selfie facial recognition and virtual GPS geofencing.
No. SANLAX features multi-layer anti-spoofing protection. The camera captures live selfies with real-time timestamps, while the GPS coordinates are validated against assigned branch lat-long perimeters (50m to 500m). Virtual location mockers and emulator attempts are automatically rejected by the security engine.
Zero hardware is required. Traditional fingerprint machines break down constantly in Indian retail, warehouse, and restaurant environments due to dust, moisture, and worn finger ridges. SANLAX runs completely through standard Android smartphones, tablets, or modern mobile web browsers.
Every check-in, check-out, late mark, half-day, and approved leave record directly feeds into the native SANLAX payroll calculation engine. Salaries are calculated based on actual calendar month divisors (28 to 31 days), accounting for salary advances, overtime hours, and statutory compliance deductions (PF and ESI) without manual spreadsheet work.
Yes. SANLAX provides complete multi-shift scheduling. Admins can assign morning, evening, rotational, or night shifts to individual employees or departments, set grace periods for arrival, configure automatic shift checkout reminders, and define customizable weekly off days.
Yes. SANLAX offers an unrestricted 7-day free trial with full feature access for up to 25 employees. You can set up your branch geofences, register staff faces, and run live attendance tests in under 5 minutes without a credit card.
