Barmer is one of India's most significant onshore oil-producing districts. ONGC and the Cairn India operations have created a contractor and services economy that stretches across the district's remote terrain. Solar parks are now adding a second energy layer. Both create workforces that are site-based, mobile, and often 50 to 100 kilometres from the nearest town.
HR software that only works at a desk with a fast internet connection is not useful here. Offrd's mobile-first design, GPS attendance, and cloud payroll work in the environments Barmer's energy contractors actually operate in.
ONGC and oil field vendors, solar EPC contractors, Barmer block-print textile businesses, and the commercial economy.

Each industry here has a different HR rhythm. What they share is the same underlying compliance obligation and the same shortage of admin time to deal with it.
ONGC's Barmer block and related operations have created a large contractor economy. Drilling support, civil work, logistics, and camp management companies all deploy workers at field sites far from town. Employment documentation and payslip accuracy are principal client requirements.
The Bhadla-area solar belt and Barmer's renewable energy projects employ site engineers, technicians, and construction workers on project-period contracts. Geofenced mobile attendance at solar sites is a core use case.
Barmer is known for its distinctive block-print fabric and resist-dye textiles. Export-oriented artisan businesses here deal with occasional buyer compliance requests that require labour documentation.
As a border district, Barmer has logistics operators serving both the domestic economy and cross-border trade facilitation. These businesses employ drivers, helpers, and commercial staff with standard payroll needs.
Barmer town's commercial economy supports the energy sector. Shops, healthcare services, and hospitality businesses have small permanent teams.
Remote sites, principal client audits, and project-period contracts define HR for Barmer's energy economy.
Workers at ONGC field sites check in via the Atndnz app with GPS geofencing. You define the site boundary once. All check-ins within the boundary are recorded with time, date, and coordinates. Payroll reads these directly. No paper register.
Oil field principal contractors audit their vendors thoroughly. Offrd exports a complete compliance pack: appointment letters, payslips with EPF and ESI, and contribution statements. Generated before the auditor arrives, not while they are waiting.
Solar EPC workers are on project-period contracts: 18 months at Site A, then 12 months at Site B. Offrd generates fixed-term appointment letters with the project site, duration, and specific terms. When the project ends, experience letters generate in one batch.
An oil field contractor might have workers at three different block sites simultaneously. Offrd keeps all employees in one account, assigned to their site. Attendance and payroll run centrally. Reports filter by site when needed.
| Alternative | The problem with it | Why Offrd works better |
|---|---|---|
| Paper attendance registers at field sites | Registers are lost, damaged, or not filled. ONGC and solar project auditors reject them. | GPS-stamped digital check-in. Permanent record. Accepted by auditors. |
| Desktop HR software | Requires an office computer with stable internet. Field sites in Barmer have neither consistently. | Mobile-first. Full admin on any phone. Works on 3G and 4G. |
| HR outsourcing | Outsourced payroll creates dependency. When the audit call comes, you need records now. | Self-managed. Instant export. No third-party delay. |
| greytHR | Desktop-oriented, add-on pricing, and not designed for multi-site contractor environments. | Multi-site records standard. Mobile attendance standard. No add-ons. |
Most businesses are fully live within one working day.

On subscription: 70 employees at Rs 50 each is Rs 3,500 a month. That covers attendance at all sites via mobile geofencing, payslips with EPF and ESI for all 70 workers, employment letters, and compliance reports.
Appointment letters for all workers, payslips for the last 6 months showing correct EPF and ESI, EPF contribution statements by period, and evidence of POSH policy. All of these export from Offrd in a single structured download.
You create a geofence for each site. When a worker is deployed to Site B, you update their site assignment in Offrd. Their check-ins from that point count against Site B's geofence. Historical records from Site A are preserved. Payroll is unaffected by site rotation.
EPF and ESI rates are national. They apply uniformly regardless of the site location. Professional tax is state-based: Rajasthan's PT slabs apply to workers employed in Rajasthan. Workers from other states who are deployed here fall under Rajasthan PT for the duration.
