GPS Geofence Verification

GPS geofence verifies cleaners are on-site and on-time

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
