In commercial cleaning and construction, day-to-day operations are not about "counting minutes".
It's about clear proof: who was at which property or construction site – and for how long?

Yet in many businesses (5–150 employees) the same thing happens every month:

  • Timesheets arrive late or illegibly.
  • Site management asks: "Who was where today?"
  • When complaints arise, evidence is missing: "You weren't there" / "you didn't stay long enough".
  • At the end of the month, stress builds up because data has to be painstakingly gathered together.

The solution therefore needs to be above all one thing: simple. And this is precisely where NFC check-in and location check-in are unbeatable.

Why classic timesheets in cleaning & construction fail so often

Typical reasons from real-world practice:

  • inconsistent formats (paper, photo, WhatsApp, Excel)
  • assignments change rapidly (property rounds / site changes)
  • details get lost (breaks, travel, short additional jobs)
  • follow-up queries cost time – and create frustration within the team

The result: less transparency, more errors and unnecessary disputes.

The simple solution: check in right where the assignment takes place

With Jobilino, employees record assignments directly on-site – in seconds.

1) NFC check-in at the property or a fixed point on the construction site

You place an NFC sticker at, for example, the property entrance, plant room or site cabin.
Employees briefly hold their phone against it → check-in. When leaving, again → check-out.

Advantage: maximum speed, minimum effort – ideal for cleaning and construction site starts.

2) Location check-in (GPS) for flexible assignments

When an NFC point is not practical (changing areas, multiple entrances, mobile teams), you use the location check-in.
The system verifies that the check-in occurs at the correct location (e.g. within a defined radius).

Advantage: suitable for construction sites with dynamic assignment points and routes without a fixed checkpoint.

What you gain in concrete terms

✠Clear proof for clients

In cleaning in particular, proof of service is crucial. With check-in/check-out it is visible:

  • which employee / which team
  • at which property/location
  • at what time

This noticeably reduces complaints and disputes.

✠Fewer queries for property & site management

Instead of phone calls and WhatsApp messages, there is a clear overview:

  • who is currently on-site
  • who has not yet checked in
  • which assignments have been completed

✠Simpler preparation for payroll & billing

When assignments are recorded cleanly, you no longer have to "chase" data at the end of the month.
You have structured data instead of a pile of papers – and can make use of evaluations/exports (depending on your process).

✠Better management of properties & construction sites

You identify more quickly where time is being "lost" – and can plan and calculate properties/construction sites more realistically.

A practical example in 30 seconds

Option A (traditional): paper + photos + Excel → follow-up queries → month-end close drags on
Option B (with Jobilino): NFC/location check-in + mobile recording → proof is in place → closing the month is considerably more straightforward
