Aplicación móvil con Flutter y Asp.net core para el control de cumplimiento laboral en la empresa Autorepuestos W.M.C.C.

Abstract

The digitization of administrative processes in Latin American small and medium-sized enterprises represents a fundamental shift toward optimizing operations through technological tools. This evolution seeks to increase accuracy in information management, reduce human error, and strengthen organizational oversight capabilities. In Ecuador, particularly in commercial enterprises, traditional methods are still in use, hindering administrative efficiency. Autorepuestos W.M.C.C., an automotive parts distributor in Ambato, exemplifies this problem by maintaining a manual attendance record system that generates multiple issues with staff tardiness, constant information loss, and unauthorized modifications to recorded schedules. This situation complicates customer service during the first hour of operation and limits informed management decision-making. For this reason, this research aims to develop and implement a mobile application capable of automating attendance records, validating the geographical location of personnel using GPS with an accuracy of 5 meters, and generating real-time reports that facilitate administrative control. The technological development followed Kanban principles, implementing Flutter for mobile devices, ASP.NET Core as a service server, and SQL Server for storage, integrating Google Maps API for verification. The results reveal 93% acceptance among employees and total confidence in the effectiveness of the system, demonstrating that the solution eliminates deficiencies in the manual method, guarantees the integrity of records, and provides verifiable information for administrative decisions.
