Introduction

Attendance Location Fetch in Odoo elevates standard attendance tracking by automatically capturing geographical information—such as IP-based addresses and GPS coordinates—when employees check in or out. This module enhances the default logging by adding precise location data directly to attendance records, enabling administrators to audit presence, validate employee locations, and enrich HR reporting within the Odoo environment.

Key Features

• Automatically record check-in and check-out GPS coordinates and physical addresses via IP-based lookup

• Embed location data into attendance logs for detailed visibility and compliance

• Leverage Odoo's core attendance capabilities, enriching audit trails with spatial context

Benefits

• Increases transparency and trust by validating attendance with location metadata

• Enhances accountability—especially useful for remote, field-based, or hybrid employee tracking

• Supports compliance and audit requirements with richer attendance logs

• Simplifies HR oversight by consolidating time and location data in one place

Compatibility & Technical Details

• Required Module: Odoo’s built-in Attendances module (hr_attendance) must be active. Odoo already logs GPS and IP data at check-in/check-out if location access is granted

• Technical Name (inferred): nspl_fetch_attendance_location (presumed from module listing)

• License: Likely OPL-1 (consistent with typical marketplace modules)

Installation Steps (general outline):

1. Ensure the Attendances module is installed and functioning.

2. Add the nspl_fetch_attendance_location module to your Odoo Add-Ons directory.

3. Activate Developer Mode, update the app list, and install the module.

4. Upon installation, attendance entries will automatically include enhanced location details—coordinates and IP-derived addresses.
