Geofence Attendance | Manage Maintenance Teams
You know the many challenges managing maintenance teams servicing multiple properties. Use geofence attendance to address these issues.
- Time costly – Manual sign-in time-consuming.
- Check-in/Check-out Failure – Service personnel forget (or fail) to check-in and or check-out leaving you without confirmation of the service.
- Buddy punching – Service personnel clock-in/out for friends.
- Falsified Records – Service personnel enter false information for checkin/out. Falsified times (time theft) is costly to company and company morale suffers.
- Significant management time – Manual record-keeping is costly in time management, for reporting, and more so in resolving disputes.
- Timely visibility – Manual sign-in sheets can’t be viewed on-the-fly when management needs to check Service personnel status.
Geofence Attendance | Automate Service Personnel Check-in/out
First service/maintenance personnel just carry their phone with Cloud-In-Hand® Stratus-io Remote Check-in App active. Second, your Admin sets geofences for ‘home’ and ‘property’ locations where personnel will go to and from. Third, setup geofence groups for the locations, then make Events for each geofence group. Finally, the geofence attendance solution automatically checks personnel in and out of locations as they come and go.
What Are Geofence Groups?
Geofence Groups are collections of geofences associated with Events. Geofence Groups simplify geofence attendance management for maintenance teams.
