Personio Alternative – Time Tracking Specialised for Construction, Cleaning and Mobile Teams
Personio is a comprehensive HR platform that combines personnel management, recruiting, payroll and time tracking in a single system – ideal for companies looking to digitalise their entire HR operation. However, if you are primarily looking for a time tracking solution that works on construction sites, in cleaning facilities and in the field, you do not need a full HR platform – you need a solution that excels precisely where your employees work: outdoors.
- GDPR-compliant
- Ready to go in just a few minutes
- Pure time tracking – without HR platform complexity
Ready to use immediately – no implementation project required
Jobilino is set up within a few hours – create locations, distribute the app, done. No weeks-long onboarding, no implementation project like with an HR platform.
NFC location verification at properties and construction sites
NFC tags are attached to cleaning properties and construction sites. Employees scan when arriving and leaving – a feature that no HR platform offers in this form.
Crew time tracking for construction companies
A site foreman records the times of his entire crew via a single device – a sector-specific feature that is not provided for in HR systems.
The problem
When Companies Look for a Personio Alternative for Time Tracking
Personio is designed as an HR platform – time tracking is one of many features. For office teams with fixed workplaces, this works well. But for construction companies with crew-based work, cleaning companies with dozens of sites, or field service teams with changing client appointments, an embedded time-tracking function within an HR platform often falls short. Industry-specific features such as NFC location verification, offline recording on construction sites, crew time tracking by site managers, or digital site daily reports are missing. At the same time, you pay for HR features you may not need at all.
- You need industry-specific time tracking – not an HR platform with time tracking as an add-on feature
- Your employees on construction sites and in cleaning locations need NFC, offline capability and maximum simplicity
- Gang recording, daily site reports and travel time separation are missing in a classic HR solution
- Introducing a full HR platform is too complex or too costly for your business
- You want to get started quickly – not spend weeks implementing a platform
- Your employees are tradespeople, cleaning staff or technicians – not office users
The solution
Why Jobilino Is the Right Personio Alternative for Time Tracking in the Field
Jobilino is not an HR platform – it is a specialised time-tracking solution for companies whose employees work on-site in the field. Instead of broad HR functionality, Jobilino offers exactly the depth that construction, cleaning, and field service businesses need: NFC location verification at sites, crew time tracking on construction sites, offline functionality in basements and shell buildings, digital site daily reports, travel time separation, and photo documentation. Getting started takes hours, not weeks – and you only pay for what you actually need.
Offline functionality for deployment locations without network coverage
On construction sites, in basements and buildings without network coverage, Jobilino saves all bookings locally. HR platforms generally require a stable internet connection.
Designed for non-technical employees
Jobilino is built so intuitively that construction workers, cleaning staff and technicians can get started immediately without any training – no navigating through HR menus.
Time tracking only – without HR overhead
You pay for time tracking, not for recruiting, personnel files and performance management. If you already use Personio for HR, Jobilino can serve as a specialised complement for field-based time capture.
