Time tracking
Cleaning time tracking software with GPS verification
Clock cleaners in on-site with job timers, GPS verification, and geofencing — so logged hours reflect real property visits, not estimates.
The operational problems
Time tracking fails when clock-ins are easy to fake
- —Cleaners start the timer from the car park across the street.
- —Managers have no live view of who is actively on a job.
- —Buddy punching happens because anyone can text 'I'm here'.
- —Hours from one client site bleed into travel time.
- —Low-signal buildings force cleaners to skip the timer entirely.
How TidyFlow solves it
Time tracking built into the cleaning job
TidyFlow time tracking is per-task — start, break, resume, submit on the job screen. GPS verification compares clock-in location to the property. Managers can see live GPS during active jobs.
Offline mode queues timer and GPS events when signal drops, then syncs on reconnect — so basement cleans still produce verifiable hours.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Can TidyFlow track cleaner hours automatically?+
Yes. The job timer logs hours when cleaners start and submit tasks. GPS adds location verification.

Events queue offline and sync when signal returns. Managers still see the job completion record.
Is live GPS always on?+
Live GPS tracking applies during active jobs on supported workflows — not 24/7 surveillance.
Can managers edit hours?+
Managers approve or adjust working hours through the approval workflow before payroll.
