South Korea-based startup LFIN has launched WorkPlus, a blockchain-powered visit verification service designed to help businesses maintain reliable records of employee attendance, client visits, and field assignments. The platform pairs multi-factor location authentication with blockchain-based evidence storage, producing verifiable records of employees' movements outside conventional office environments.
The launch arrives as companies increasingly adopt flexible work arrangements, a shift that has complicated the verification of employee attendance and the confirmation of visits to client locations, construction sites, and other field destinations. WorkPlus is intended to address those concerns by giving businesses a digital system that records and preserves visit-related information. Blockchain's role in that setup is narrow but specific: once a record is committed, its tamper-resistant design makes it suitable as evidence that third parties can check independently.
Development Backed by KISA Blockchain Project
LFIN built the platform through the Korea Internet & Security Agency's (KISA) 2026 Blockchain Proof-of-Concept Project for the private sector, an initiative that evaluates how blockchain technology can be applied to practical business operations and everyday activities. The focus on day-to-day operations reflects a broader industry framing of blockchain less as a purely financial technology and more as record-keeping infrastructure. By combining its existing location verification technology with blockchain-based evidence management, the company has designed WorkPlus to improve the reliability and transparency of attendance and fieldwork records.
The platform draws on multiple location verification methods, including GPS and mobile network base stations, to authenticate employee visits and preserve the associated evidence on the blockchain.
Employees register their visit schedules through the mobile application, then activate location verification by selecting the Start Visit option upon arriving at a designated location, and select End Visit once their assignments are complete. The system captures visit timestamps, location details, and attached photographs, linking these records immediately to the blockchain to create tamper-resistant evidence that can be independently referenced later.
For employers whose staff work across dispersed sites, that capability addresses a familiar gap in traditional sign-in sheets and manual check-offs, which leave little independent way to confirm a visit after the fact. The approach is designed to reduce dependence on traditional paper-based documentation and manual verification procedures, while giving businesses a more consistent way to confirm whether employees have completed their assigned visits.
Dashboard Streamlines Attendance and Leave Management
Alongside location verification, WorkPlus includes an administrative dashboard through which managers can monitor employee attendance and field activities. Administrators can review clock-in and clock-out records along with the status of employees on external assignments. The dashboard supports searches by specific periods, departments, employees, and locations, allowing companies to retrieve relevant information without manually reviewing individual records.
An Excel export function lets administrators download attendance and visit histories in a single action, a feature expected to reduce the administrative workload associated with preparing attendance reports, consolidating employee records, and maintaining documentation.
WorkPlus also incorporates leave management capabilities. Employees can submit leave requests and track their approval status through the mobile application, while managers oversee leave administration according to their organization's internal policies. The platform additionally supports internal survey functions.
By consolidating attendance monitoring, field visit verification, record management, and leave administration into one platform, WorkPlus seeks to help businesses streamline workforce management while improving the reliability of operational records.
Expansion Planned Across Field Operations
According to LFIN, businesses operating across different work environments increasingly require dependable methods to verify employee movements and external assignments. The company indicated that maintaining reliable records is particularly important for organizations managing client visits, site inspections, and other activities conducted away from the office.
LFIN expects WorkPlus to support more transparent and efficient management of attendance and visit-related operations by combining location authentication with blockchain-based evidence preservation.
The company specializes in location-based authentication and artificial intelligence solutions that leverage communications infrastructure, including Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), Wi-Fi, and mobile network base stations. It holds GS Grade 1 certification for its technology and has experience developing a range of location-based platforms. Further details are available on the company's official website.
The development strategy for WorkPlus extends beyond conventional employee clock-in and clock-out functions. LFIN plans to expand the service to accommodate a wider range of business activities, including client visits, field assignments, and site inspections, with the broader objective of establishing blockchain-backed verification as a practical tool for businesses that need accurate, traceable, and tamper-resistant records of employee activities across multiple work environments. With the service now live after development under the KISA program, and the extension into client visits and site inspections planned, WorkPlus positions itself as an early test of whether blockchain-backed verification can move beyond pilot projects into routine workforce management.
