Building Clock Me In a sign in management system that consumes a GeoLocation API using Vanilla JavaScript

Image description

Hello there! Through this blog post I'm going to share with you how I managed to build a employee/student attendance management system that will be used to monitor the attendance of students and employees inside organizations.

What does the project aim to overcome?
The process of tracking working times has always been a complicated task. Over the years, several solutions have been developed to record the presence of employees. The most popular of these traditional manual attendance tracking systems are the time card, the perforation clock, and the time sheets.
The main disadvantages of such methods are :

  • There is a risk in human error.

  • Employees/students can commit time theft.

  • Manual entry is very time consuming.

  • Loss of private data such as mobile, Identification numbers and names.

Tech stack

  1. The project firstly consumes an API provided by ipapi.io to get the current location of the users and cross-references it with the
    workstation IP address

  2. For this project I went with HTML, CSS & Vanilla JavaScript to provide a working product.

  3. Lastly I decide to host the project on GitHub projects.
