Services · Mobile app development · Employee attendance apps
Codeeo handles employee attendance app development Dallas employers can rely on when their workers start the day on a job site, a loading dock, a hospital floor or a client's building rather than at a front desk. We build the worker app, the supervisor view and the payroll export as one system, so hours recorded in the field match what Texas and federal wage rules expect you to keep, and disputes are settled from the record instead of from memory.
We have no office in Texas. Our team of 80+ in Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi works remotely with Dallas clients, and discovery, design reviews and acceptance testing all happen by video call. You keep the code, the accounts and the data.

What we build
A Dallas employer rarely has one front door. A drywall crew might start in Uptown on Monday and in a new subdivision off the tollway by Thursday. A warehouse in southern Dallas runs overlapping shifts around truck arrivals, and a clinic near the Medical District needs nurses and techs to clock in on units spread across several floors. Paper sheets and texts to a foreman lose minutes every week, and those minutes become overtime questions later. We design capture that works wherever the shift begins, keeps the worker's view simple enough to use in a hard hat or gloves, and gives supervisors and payroll one place to approve, correct and export hours. Spanish and English sit side by side in the worker app because many North Texas crews work in both, and the admin side is built for the office manager who closes payroll, not for a developer.
Each project, yard or client building gets a boundary drawn on the map. Workers can clock in only inside it, or outside it with a reason that the supervisor sees. Sites can be added the morning a new job starts, which matters for contractors who move crews around the metro every few weeks.
Punches tied to a real place, not just a phone.
Clock in, start and end a break, switch to a different job code and clock out, in English or Spanish, with large buttons and plain wording. The worker sees their own hours for the week and can flag a missed punch the same day instead of at the end of the pay period.
Fewer missed punches and fewer arguments on payday.
Where you want proof that the right person clocked in, the app can take a selfie and match it. Under the Texas biometric law, people must be told and give consent before a face geometry record is captured for a commercial purpose, so consent is recorded in the app and a deletion schedule is built into the admin side.
Buddy punching stopped without collecting biometrics carelessly.
Foremen and shift leads see who is on site, who is late and who forgot to clock out. They approve timesheets, fix errors with a required note, and every edit keeps the original punch beside the change. That audit trail is what you want in front of you when a wage claim arrives.
Corrections that can be explained months later.
The rules engine applies the federal standard of overtime after 40 hours in a workweek, your own paid break policy and any union or client contract terms. It warns supervisors before a worker crosses into overtime, so the decision is made on purpose rather than discovered at payroll.
Labor cost decisions made before the hours are worked.
Basements, new builds and steel warehouses often have weak signal. Punches are stored on the device with the device time and location, then synced when the phone reconnects, with any gap flagged for review instead of silently accepted.
No lost hours because a site had no coverage.
For a warehouse gate or a hospital staff entrance, a wall mounted tablet runs a kiosk version with badge, PIN or face match. Workers without company phones still get an accurate record, and the kiosk keeps working when the network drops.
One device covers a whole shift change.
Approved hours go to your payroll provider by direct integration where it offers one, or as a formatted file where it does not. Job codes carry through so labor can be costed by project, client or department, and pay periods match your Texas payday schedule.
Payroll closes from approved data, not retyped data.
Daily attendance, late arrivals, overtime by site and missed punches, filtered by supervisor or project. Records are retained for the periods federal recordkeeping rules require and can be pulled quickly when the Texas Workforce Commission or a client asks for them.
Answers ready when someone asks for proof.
Who this is for
Off the shelf timeclock products suit many small teams well, and we will say so if one fits you. The employers who come to us usually have something those products handle badly: crews that change site daily, client contracts with their own hour rules, a payroll setup that does not match the template, or a need for proof that will stand up in a dispute. Here are the four situations we see most often in Dallas.
General contractors, electricians, roofers and concrete firms send crews across Dallas County and into Collin and Denton counties every week. They need a punch tied to the right job, a foreman who can approve hours from the truck, and job costing that shows which projects are eating overtime. We build the job list, geofences and cost codes around your estimating structure so project managers see labor hours against budget while the job is still running.
Usually the best fit for a custom build.
Distribution and freight operations near the interstates and the inland port areas south of downtown run rotating shifts, temporary labor and tight dock schedules. A kiosk at the gate, badge punches, agency worker tracking and shift handover notes give the operations manager a live headcount by door and a clean record for each staffing agency invoice.
Agency hours can be reconciled before you pay the invoice.
Clinics, therapy practices and home health agencies around Dallas have staff working shifts across sites or visiting patients at home. Attendance must be accurate without exposing patient information in the time record. We separate visit and shift data from clinical data, and where Medicaid funded home care requires electronic visit verification we plan the flow with your existing EVV vendor.
Patient data stays out of the attendance system.
Janitorial and security contractors work inside office towers in Downtown Dallas, Uptown and along the North Dallas business corridors, often overnight. The client wants proof the shift was staffed; your team wants to know who arrived. Post orders, patrol check points and client facing attendance summaries turn the app into evidence you can share during contract renewals.
Ways to work with us
Most Dallas clients start with a fixed scope first release covering one worker group and one payroll connection, then move to a monthly retainer for new sites, reports and features. Larger employers with several brands or a heavy integration list sometimes take a dedicated team that works as an extension of their IT department. In every model, work is planned in writing, reviewed by video call and delivered into repositories and store accounts that belong to you.
A defined build with a deadline
We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.
A product that keeps evolving
Named engineers who work your hours, join your standups and stay on the codebase. You direct the backlog; we own the quality of what ships.
Something live that needs looking after
A monthly block of hours for improvements, fixes and the small requests that otherwise wait months. Unused hours carry for a quarter.
Technology
Native or cross platform mobile apps, a web dashboard and a cloud backend chosen to match your existing systems and the people who will maintain the app after launch. Location, camera and offline storage are handled with the permissions each phone platform expects.

It depends on scope, and we agree the timing in writing after discovery.
A single worker app with geofenced punches and a payroll export moves faster than a multi-brand system with kiosks, face match and several integrations. The pace is also set by your side: how quickly rules are confirmed, how soon a pilot crew is available and how responsive your payroll provider is with integration access. After discovery we give you a plan that splits the work into releases, with the first release limited to what you need for real payroll.
