Location-aware workforce infrastructure

Lokanty is building the system layer that treats physical location as a first-class primitive in workforce management.

Entry Point

The wedge: location-verified time tracking

Lokanty enters the market through GPS-verified time and attendance for mobile, multi-worksite teams. This is a narrow, underserved wedge with clear buyer pain:

  • Construction crews clocking in at the office, not the site
  • Security guards leaving posts without detection
  • Cleaning teams skipping locations on multi-site routes
  • Home care visits that cannot be verified for compliance

These are not edge cases. They are structural problems in industries with distributed workforces and high labor costs.

Problem

The structural gap in workforce software

Most workforce management systems were designed for office-based, single-location work. They track time and people, but assume place is fixed and irrelevant.

Traditional WFM
Time + People
Records
Unverified

When work happens across multiple locations, this model breaks. Managers lose visibility. Records become unreliable. Payroll disputes rise. Compliance audits fail.

Insight

Location is the missing primitive

The insight is simple: if you treat location as a first-class part of workforce data—not as an afterthought—you unlock a different class of visibility and control.

Lokanty
Worksite + Presence + Time
Visibility
Verified

Every clock-in carries location evidence. Every worksite has defined boundaries. Every time record is anchored to place. This changes what managers can know and trust.

Architecture

Infrastructure, not a feature

Lokanty is not a time-tracking app with GPS bolted on. It is a platform where location is native to the data model.

Worksites as entities

Locations are first-class objects with boundaries, schedules, and assignment rules.

Presence verification

Clock-ins are validated against worksite geofences in real time.

Offline-first sync

Works reliably in low-connectivity environments common in field operations.

Multi-tenant by design

Built for organizations with multiple sites, teams, and permission hierarchies.

Expansion

Beyond time tracking

Time and attendance is the wedge, not the ceiling. Once location-aware workforce data is in place, new capabilities become natural extensions:

Now
GPS-verified time tracking Multi-worksite visibility Audit-ready records
Future
HR compliance Payroll integrations Workforce analytics

Each layer builds on the same location-native foundation. This is not feature creep—it is platform expansion along a coherent axis.

Market

Who buys this and why

The initial target is mid-market companies (50–500 employees) in industries with mobile, distributed, or multi-site workforces:

🏗️ Construction
🔒 Security
🧹 Facilities
🏥 Healthcare
🔧 Field Service
🏨 Hospitality

The buyer is typically operations leadership or HR. The pain is acute: they cannot verify where work happens, and this creates payroll disputes, compliance risk, and service failures.

Sales motion: product-led trial → onboarding call → paid conversion. Low friction, high intent.

Value

ROI logic

The value proposition is direct and measurable:

Reduce time theft

Eliminate unverified hours. Typical savings: 3–8% of labor costs.

Improve compliance

Audit-ready records. Avoid fines, contract penalties, and legal exposure.

Reduce admin time

Less manual verification. Fewer payroll disputes. HR focuses on value, not reconciliation.

Pricing is per-user per-month, aligned with value delivered. Payback period is typically under 90 days.

Timing

Why now

Mobile workforce growth

More work happens outside offices. Construction, logistics, healthcare, and services are expanding, and their workforce tools have not kept up.

Smartphone ubiquity

Every worker has a GPS-enabled device. The hardware layer is solved. What's missing is the software that uses it properly.

Compliance pressure

Labor regulations are tightening. Buyers need verifiable records, not just logs. Location evidence is becoming a requirement, not a feature.

Legacy system fatigue

Incumbent WFM tools are bloated and expensive. Mid-market buyers are ready for focused, modern alternatives.

Lokanty is building the infrastructure layer for location-aware workforce management.

We start with time tracking because the pain is clear and the wedge is narrow. But the platform is designed to expand into scheduling, HR, compliance, and beyond—all built on the same location-native foundation.
