Cleaning and janitorial services
Cleaning crews start early at many small sites and often share one supervisor's phone. Geofenced clock-in and a kiosk or crew attendance keep the records honest without extra work.
In plain words
Cleaning work starts early, ends late, and happens in many small places with little supervision. Crews are large, shifts are short, and not everyone carries a smartphone, which is where paper sheets and phone calls to the supervisor take over.
dayFlow covers the awkward cases: a shared tablet at the entrance, a supervisor taking attendance for a crew, offline capture in basements, and a list of missed clock-outs to fix at the end of the day instead of at the end of the month.
The challenge

With dayFlow
How dayFlow helps
A tablet at the site entrance recognises people as they arrive, or a supervisor takes attendance for the crew from their own phone. Either way the hours are verified and approved like any others.
In practice
Late, early and overtime are worked out to the minute against each person's shift, with grace minutes and unpaid breaks handled by policy.
In practice
A missed clock-out is flagged and listed. The supervisor or a manager fixes it by request or correction, with a reason, so month-end is review, not archaeology.
In practice
A normal day
05:30
Crews arrive at an office block. A tablet at the entrance recognises each person.
06:00
A supervisor clocks in a crew from their phone for the site with no signal.
14:00
Everyone has left; any missed clock-out is on the exceptions list.
Friday
The week's hours are approved in a few minutes.
Examples
An office block at 5 am
The cleaning crew arrives before anyone else. The tablet at the service entrance recognises each person and records the time.
A supervisor with a van and five sites
She takes the crew's attendance on arrival at each site, from her phone, and the hours are tagged to that site.
A basement with no signal
Workers clock in on their phones; the punches upload when they come back up.

Questions
No. A shared kiosk tablet or a supervisor taking attendance covers workers without one.
Yes. Phones cannot watch very small circles reliably, so give each site a sensible radius.
They are flagged and fixed by request or by a manager, with a reason.
Phones cannot watch very small circles reliably, so give small sites a sensible radius that covers the entrance and working area.
Yes, for the employees they look after, with the right to take attendance for others.
A shift that ends after midnight stays on the day it started.
Yes. In the app they see their timecard and how each day was counted.
