Managing attendance efficiently is crucial for any organization. In our recent project, we built an Attendance Management System that enhances user experience with real-time updates, reminders, and notifications—all powered by WebSockets.
Key Features Implemented
✅ WebSocket-Powered Real-Time Updates
We used WebSockets to provide instant feedback on attendance status. When an employee marks attendance, the system immediately reflects the change across all connected devices without requiring a page refresh.
🔔 Smart Reminders & Notifications
To ensure timely check-ins and check-outs, we implemented an automated reminder system that sends real-time notifications via WebSockets. This helps users stay compliant with attendance policies without needing manual intervention.
🏢 Role-Based Access Control
Admins can monitor live attendance data, view analytics, and send alerts, while employees can track their own attendance logs effortlessly.
💾 Scalable & Efficient Backend
We followed Express.js best practices, ensuring a modular and maintainable backend. WebSockets were integrated with Redis Pub/Sub for scalability, allowing multiple servers to handle real-time communication seamlessly.
