Papershift Alternative – Time Tracking for Teams on Construction Sites, in Buildings and in the Field

Papershift is a well-known solution for shift planning and time tracking – particularly popular in hospitality, retail and care, wherever shift planning at a fixed location is the focus. However, if your employees do not work at a fixed location but on changing construction sites, in various cleaning buildings or in mobile field service, you need a solution built specifically for these deployment scenarios. Jobilino is the time tracking solution for teams that have no fixed workplace.

  • GDPR-Compliant
  • Ready to Go in Minutes
  • Built for Changing Job Sites

NFC location verification at changing deployment sites

NFC tags are attached to cleaning facilities, construction sites or customer access points. Employees scan when arriving and leaving – regardless of the location, the record is created automatically.

Crew time tracking on construction sites

A site foreman records the hours of his entire crew via a single device – ideal for construction sites with teams where not everyone has a smartphone.

Offline functionality for deployment sites without internet

On construction sites, in basements and buildings without network coverage, Jobilino works completely offline and synchronises automatically – more reliable than any cloud-based shift planning solution.

The problem

When Companies Look for a Papershift Alternative for Mobile Teams

Papershift excels at shift planning at fixed locations – restaurants, shops, clinics. But on a construction site there is no fixed location. In building cleaning, the sites change daily. In field service, the technician travels from customer to customer. In these deployment scenarios, businesses need more than shift planning: NFC location verification that proves an employee was on site. Offline capability on construction sites without network coverage. Crew recording by the site foreman. Project assignment down to the exact construction site. Separation of travel time between job sites. If these requirements define your day-to-day work, Jobilino is the right alternative.

  • Your employees work at changing locations – not at a fixed site
  • You need location verification via NFC for each cleaning object or construction site
  • Construction sites lack stable internet – you need true offline capability
  • Foremen should be able to clock in the entire crew using a single device
  • Hours must be broken down by construction site, project, client or lot
  • Travel times between assignments must be clearly separated from working time

The solution

Why Jobilino Is the Right Papershift Alternative for Mobile Deployment Scenarios

Jobilino was built for companies whose employees work at different locations every day. Instead of shift planning at a fixed location, Jobilino offers the tools for mobile deployment realities: NFC tags at cleaning buildings and construction sites, crew recording via a single device, project assignment down to the exact construction site, full offline functionality and photo documentation on site. If your teams work out in the field and the job site can change every day, Jobilino is the alternative that fits that reality.

Project- and site-specific assignment

Hours are assigned directly to the correct project, client, lot or trade at clock-in – for post-calculation and client billing.

Travel time separation for field staff

Travel time, waiting time and active deployment time are clearly separated from one another – for accurate billing with service and maintenance teams.

Photo documentation and proof of performance

Employees upload photos from the app – as proof of cleaning, construction progress documentation or quality evidence for the client.
