Short answer: dooCall sends location only at the time of a call, so it is not a full attendance system. But you can log arrival times with a simple routine: when an employee gets to the workplace, they make a short call to the office number or their manager. dooCall saves the time and place of that call. You need the employee's written consent and a clear internal policy.
In small and mid-sized businesses, attendance often runs on trust: a manager says "I got in at 9:00" and nobody can check. A turnstile works for one office. The more branches, warehouses, outlets and construction sites you have, the bigger the gap.
What are the options for tracking attendance?
Attendance tracking records when an employee was at the workplace. Common options:
- Paper log. Cheap, but easy to fill in after the fact.
- Turnstile or face-ID terminal. Accurate, but needs hardware at every address and misses field staff.
- Sending location in a messenger. "I'm here" with a pin on the map is manual and patchy.
- Logging by call. The employee calls on arrival and the system saves time and place automatically. This is what dooCall provides.
How does dooCall work?
dooCall records every SIM call on the work phone and logs the location at the moment a call is made or received. When there is no call, no location is sent: employees are not tracked all day.
In practice:
- On arrival, the employee makes a short "I'm here" call to the office number or their manager.
- The dashboard shows the time and location of that call.
- Optionally, they make the same call when leaving.
- Customer calls during the day are also recorded with their location, so you can roughly see where the employee worked.
This is especially handy for salespeople, sales agents, service technicians and site managers: one app shows both the calls and where they were made.
Which businesses is it for?
- Branch networks. Shops, pharmacies, training centers: an "I'm here" call at opening time.
- Construction. Foremen and procurement staff call on arrival at each site.
- Distribution. Sales agents call the customer on arriving at the shop.
- Field service. Technicians call the customer to say "I've arrived", which serves the customer and logs the visit.
What are the limits?
- It doesn't fully replace a turnstile: if the employee doesn't call, arrival isn't logged.
- Time without calls (for example, how long they stayed on site) isn't shown directly.
- For the routine to work, the arrival call must be in your internal rules and the manager must check it.
Is tracking by location legal?
Location is personal data. Uzbekistan's Law No. ZRU-547 "On Personal Data" lists consent as one basis for processing, and unlawful processing carries administrative fines (DLA Piper). So:
- get the employee's written consent to call recording and location;
- use only the work phone and a company SIM;
- state the purpose in your internal policy: attendance and process improvement;
- give access only to the people responsible;
- check with your lawyer.
Open, fair rules keep employees' trust.

Frequently asked questions
Does dooCall track employees all day?
No. Location is sent only at the time of a call.
What if the employee doesn't make the arrival call?
Then arrival isn't logged. That's why the rule belongs in your internal policy and should be checked at the start of the day.
Can it be installed on a personal phone?
A work phone is recommended: personal life and work data stay separate, and the number stays with the company if the employee leaves.
Does it connect to Odoo HR?
dooCall's documented integrations are on the CRM side (Odoo, Bitrix24, amoCRM). Discuss passing data to Odoo HR with Deep Vision separately.
