GPS Geofence Verification
GPS geofence verifies cleaners are on-site and on-time
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.
How It Works
GPS check-in verification in real-world conditions
GPS verification at each building
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.
What supervisors see and track
- Geofence
- Each building has its own assigned geofence
- GPS Verified status
- On-site check-ins show as “GPS Verified” in the time history
- Off-site alerts
- If a cleaner checks in outside the geofence, the system flags it as off-site and alerts the supervisor immediately
- Check-in only
- Location is verified only at check-in and check-out, never continuously
- Defensible records
- Supervisors get transparent, defensible attendance records without disruptions
Off-site check-ins are flagged, not blocked
Instead of blocking check-ins from outside the zone — such as in areas with poor signal — CleanGuru allows the check-in, flags it, and notifies the supervisor.
Why It Matters
Especially Useful For
Multi-Building Accounts
Helps supervisors quickly spot off-site check-ins when buildings are close together.
Medical or Industrial Sites
Helpful for clients with strict rules or compliance needs.
Remote Supervisors
No need to manually verify every building’s attendance.
Large Campuses or Facilities
Useful when large buildings or campuses have multiple entrances or wings.
Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers about geofence verification, off-site check-ins, and supervisor alerts.
CleanGuru checks whether a cleaner checked in inside or outside the assigned geofence for that building. Supervisors can quickly see whether the check-in happened at the right location or needs follow-up.
Yes. CleanGuru still records the check-in, but it flags it as off-site so a supervisor can review it. That helps teams keep work moving without losing visibility.
Yes. CleanGuru can adjust the geofence for different building layouts, including small suites, large facilities, and multi-entrance properties.
No. CleanGuru checks location at check-in and check-out. It does not continuously track cleaners throughout the day.
Indoor location results can vary by building and signal conditions. CleanGuru is designed to help supervisors review check-ins, including cases where location details need attention.
Yes. Supervisors can see whether a check-in was verified on-site or flagged for review, which helps them understand time entries more clearly.
Yes. Location-based check-in records help supervisors review time entries, answer questions faster, and reduce payroll disputes tied to where a cleaner checked in.
Cleaners still get checked in, and supervisors are notified that GPS was unavailable.
