What is GPS check-in software?
GPS check-in software lets field workers check in and out at a job site from a phone, recording the time and location and optionally validating it against a geofence around the property, so a business can confirm a crew was on site, without tracking employees 24/7.
How GPS check-in works
A worker opens the job on their phone and taps check-in. The app captures a timestamp and the device location, and can compare it to a geofence (a virtual boundary) around the site. At the end they check out. The office sees verified arrival and departure per job.
Geofence validation
A geofence is a radius drawn around a customer's address. If the check-in falls inside it, the visit is validated automatically; if it falls far outside, the office can follow up. This catches skipped or mislogged visits before a customer complains.
Privacy: check-ins, not surveillance
Responsible GPS check-in scopes location to the moment of check-in, active job sessions and consented, worker-started shifts with a visible banner, and never runs 24/7. That distinction is what keeps workers comfortable using it.

Frequently asked questions
It should not. Good tools scope location to job check-ins and consented shift sessions with a visible indicator, never 24/7 tracking.
A geofence is a virtual boundary around a job site. Geofence validation confirms a worker's check-in happened inside it, verifying they were actually on site.
Yes, on every plan, with optional geofence validation and a privacy-first design scoped to job sessions.
