General

What is Fasvia?

Fasvia is a GPS-based attendance tracking app for African businesses, churches, schools, and organizations. It uses phone GPS to verify check-ins, replacing paper registers and eliminating ghost workers.

How does GPS check-in work?

You set your office/school location once during setup. When staff tap 'Check In', Fasvia compares their phone's GPS coordinates with your location. If they're within your defined radius, check-in succeeds. If not, it's blocked.

Does it work without internet?

Yes. Fasvia stores check-ins locally when offline and syncs automatically when internet returns. You won't lose attendance data due to network issues.

What phones does it work on?

Android phones (any version) via the Play Store app, and iPhones via the web app in Safari/Chrome. Windows and Mac desktop apps are coming soon.

Pricing & Plans

Is Fasvia really free?

Yes! The Free plan supports up to 10 staff members with GPS check-in, basic reports, and 1 admin account. No credit card required.

What's included in paid plans?

Growth (₦5,000/month): Up to 50 staff, leave management, departments. Business (₦15,000/month): Up to 200 staff, sub-admins, Wi-Fi verification, priority support. Enterprise: Custom pricing for 200+ staff.

Can I switch plans later?

Yes. Upgrade or downgrade anytime. Changes take effect immediately. Downgrading to Free keeps all your data but limits features.

Do you offer annual discounts?

Yes. Annual billing saves 20% compared to monthly. Contact sales for Enterprise annual pricing.

GPS & Technical

How accurate is the GPS?

Typically within 5-20 meters on modern phones. We use 3-zone detection: inside radius, outside radius, and 'uncertain' for borderline cases.

What about spoofed GPS?

We detect common GPS spoofing methods and flag suspicious check-ins for admin review. Combined with Wi-Fi verification (Business plan), spoofing becomes very difficult.

Can I use Wi-Fi instead of GPS?

Yes (Business plan). You can require check-in only when connected to your office Wi-Fi network, or use Wi-Fi + GPS together for extra security.

What permissions does the app need?

Location (GPS), internet, and optional notifications. We never access contacts, photos, or other personal data.

Schools & Education

Can Fasvia track student attendance?

Fasvia Education (Beta) is designed specifically for schools. It supports student vs teacher roles, class/period tracking, and parent notifications. Join the waitlist on our Education page.

How does it work for schools?

Teachers check in like regular staff. Students can check in via QR codes or teacher marking. Parents get attendance reports. Different from workforce tracking.

Is there special pricing for schools?

Yes. Schools get 30% off all plans. Contact us with your school details for custom pricing.

Can we track attendance by class?

In Fasvia Education, yes. Track which students attended which classes throughout the day. Regular Fasvia Work tracks by employee only.

Security & Privacy

Where is my data stored?

All data is stored in secure Supabase servers with encryption at rest. We use servers in the closest available region for faster access.

Can employees see each other's data?

No. Employees only see their own attendance records. Admins see all company data. Sub-admins see only their department's data.

Do you sell my data?

Never. We don't sell, rent, or share your attendance data with anyone. Read our Privacy Policy for details.

Can I export my data?

Yes. Admins can export attendance to PDF or Excel anytime. You own your data completely.

Support

How do I get support?

Free plan: Community forums and documentation. Growth/Business: Email and chat support within 24 hours. Enterprise: Dedicated account manager and priority support.

Where can I report bugs?

Use our Report a Bug page. Include device details, app version, and steps to reproduce. We fix critical bugs within 72 hours.

Do you offer training?

Yes for Business and Enterprise plans. We provide setup assistance, admin training, and staff onboarding guides.

Can I suggest features?

Yes! We actively collect feature requests. The most requested features get priority in our roadmap.
