GPS Geofence Check-Ins
Verifies cleaners are on-site, on time, and at the correct building.
CleanGuru’s GPS geofencing shows supervisors whether a cleaner checked in from inside the correct building’s geofence or from off-site. Instead of blocking check-ins from outside the zone—such as in areas with poor signal—CleanGuru allows the check-in but flags it and notifies the supervisor, giving companies real-world flexibility while maintaining strong visibility and accountability.
Overview
GPS geofencing helps cleaning companies confidently verify timekeeping activity without interrupting workflow. Every building has its own assigned geofence. If a cleaner checks in from inside it, supervisors see a GPS-verified on-site check-in. If the cleaner checks in outside it (due to being early, at the wrong location, or experiencing signal issues), CleanGuru still records the check-in but flags it as off-site and alerts the supervisor.
This ensures accurate context for payroll and supervision while remaining practical for real-world work environments.
How It Works
- Each building has its own assigned geofence
- On-site check-ins show as “GPS Verified” in the time history
- If a cleaner checks in outside the geofence, the system flags it as off-site and alerts the supervisor immediately
- Location is verified only at check-in and check-out, never continuously
- Supervisors get transparent, defensible attendance records without disruptions
