Photo-verified attendance

Photo verification answers the one question every other attendance method dodges: is the person in the record the person who was there?

Identity, captured at the moment

Each worker takes a quick selfie as part of check-in. The photo is bound to that briefing, that timestamp, and that location — so the record shows a face, not a mark that anyone could have made.

Buddy-signing becomes self-defeating

Checking in for an absent coworker produces a record with the wrong face on it — evidence of the deception rather than cover for it. The practice does not need to be policed; it stops making sense.

Attendance you can prove, not just record

A signature proves somebody wrote a name. An Arkvos check-in records a photo of the worker, GPS coordinates, and a SHA-256 timestamp, sealed at the moment of scan. That is the difference between saying a worker was trained and showing who was standing at the briefing.

Faster than passing a clipboard

Workers scan the QR code the supervisor displays and check in from their own phone's browser — no app, no account, no password. A typical check-in takes about 90 seconds, and the record is complete the moment the last worker scans.

Frequently asked questions

How does photo verification of attendance work?

During QR check-in, the worker takes a selfie in the browser. The photo is stored with the check-in's GPS coordinates and SHA-256 timestamp, tying the person's identity to the time and place of the briefing.

What about worker privacy?

Photos are used for attendance verification, scoped to the worker's organization, and retained under the organization's control. Workers see what is being captured at the moment they capture it — a transparency paper never offered.

How much does photo verification cost?

One plan at $349 per month, unlimited workers. No per-site fees, no tiers, no hardware. The free 14-day trial requires no credit card, and the platform supports teams from 10 to 100,000 workers.

Do workers need to install an app?

No. Workers scan a QR code and check in through the browser on their own phone. There is no app, no login, and no account to create.

How long are records kept?

Attendance records are retained and remain exportable for as long as your organization needs them. OSHA retention requirements vary by standard — some training records must be kept for the duration of employment — so records that cannot be lost or discarded are safer than any paper retention policy.
