Handbook

Installing and setting up the Jobilino app on a phone

A step-by-step guide for employees and administrators. How your staff install the app, connect it to your company and sign in – via the setup link, a QR code or by typing the account. Including what to prepare in the back office, the language setting, and the points where this tends to stall in practice.

Frequently asked questions

How long does setting up take per employee?

About two minutes: install the app, tap the setup link or scan the QR code, sign in. No training is needed, because starting and stopping working time are one tap each.

Does every employee need a company phone?

No. The app runs on private devices too. Anyone who does not want to use their private phone, or does not have one, clocks in at a terminal – a tablet in the workshop, the store or the yard – or via an NFC tag at the site.

What is the company account and where do I find it?

It tells the app which company it belongs to – the same app serves every Jobilino customer. You will find it together with the setup link and the QR code in the customer area under „Mobile Apps“, and it is also printed on the handout.

Can I distribute the setup link openly?

Yes. It carries only the company account, no password and no personal data. Only someone who already exists as an employee at the company can sign in with it.

Does clocking in work without an internet connection?

Yes. Only the first connection to the company needs a network. After that, entries made offline are stored on the device and submitted automatically once there is a connection again – carrying the original time, not the time of transmission.

My team speaks little German – is that a problem?

No. The app comes in more than 30 languages and everyone sets their own. The evaluation in the back office is unaffected and stays uniform, no matter which language was used to clock in.
