Time Tracking Property Maintenance – Record, document and bill assignments per property

Your property caretakers work across multiple residential complexes and properties each day. Jobilino records working hours directly on-site – via NFC tag in the stairwell or via app. Every hour is automatically assigned to the correct property. The office can see in real time who is working at which property. And the property management receives proof of all services rendered at the touch of a button.

  • NFC proof per property
  • 13 languages for international teams
  • Reports for property managers

NFC tag at every property

At the stairwell, the entrance or the bin room – one NFC sticker per property is all it takes. The caretaker holds up their smartphone and is clocked in. Physical proof that they were on site. No GPS, no internet, no data privacy concerns.

Automatic property assignment

Every NFC tag is linked to a property in the system. When clocking in, the working time is automatically assigned to the correct residential complex. No manual selection, no mix-ups, no follow-up work in the office.

Multiple properties per day

Property managers switch between properties several times a day. The app allows any number of property changes – each section is documented separately with property, start time, end time and duration.

The problem

Why time tracking in property maintenance is so difficult

Property caretakers are on the move all day – from one residential complex to the next, from one property to the next. The office often only finds out at the end of the week what was done where. Timesheets end up in jacket pockets, WhatsApp messages get lost, and at the end of the month the property management asks: When was your caretaker here?

  • Property caretakers work in 5 to 15 properties per week – without a system, nobody knows how many hours were spent on which property
  • Time sheets are taken home in a jacket pocket and filled in from memory on Friday – the times are inaccurate
  • WhatsApp messages and phone calls are no substitute for a time-tracking system – information is lost and cannot be evaluated
  • Property management companies require proof of services rendered – without a system, there are no verifiable hours per property
  • Winter maintenance, green space care and cleaning are handled by the same caretaker – the hours cannot be separated by type of service
  • International employees do not understand German forms and Excel spreadsheets – incorrect entries are inevitable

The solution

Digital time tracking for property maintenance with Jobilino

Jobilino brings order to the daily operations of property maintenance companies: An NFC tag is attached to each property – in the stairwell, at the building entrance or at the bin store. The caretaker holds their smartphone up to the tag and is clocked in. The system automatically knows which property is involved. When leaving, they clock out again. If they move on to the next property, they clock in there the following day. At the end of the day, the app shows exactly: Property A – 1.5 hours, Property B – 2 hours, Winter service Property C – 45 minutes. The office sees everything in real time. And the property management receives a clean report per property.

Photo documentation per property

Add photos directly in the app – cleared snow, cleaned stairwells, completed repairs. The photos are automatically assigned to the property and the relevant time period. The perfect proof of performance for property management companies.

Reports per property for property management companies

Monthly reports per residential complex at the touch of a button: How many hours were delivered? Which services? When was the caretaker on site? Available as CSV, Excel or PDF – ready for property management and internal cost reconciliation.

How it works

How time tracking works in property maintenance

  1. Attach NFC tags to properties

    An NFC tag is attached to every property, residential complex and location. In the system, the tag is linked to the property. Takes just a few minutes per location.

  2. Property manager clocks in at the property

    Upon arrival, the property manager holds their smartphone up to the NFC tag. They are clocked in and the property is assigned. When leaving, they clock out.

  3. Property change – next day, next property

    When the property manager drives to the next property, they clock in there at the NFC tag. Each segment is documented separately. At the end of the day, the app displays all assignments.

  4. Office evaluates and reports

    In the dashboard, management sees all assignments in real time. Monthly reports per property are exported as CSV or Excel – for property managers, payroll accounting and internal control.

Your benefits

  • NFC verification at every property – prove that the caretaker was actually on site
  • Photo documentation – cleared snow, cleaned stairwells and completed repairs as evidence
  • Ready-made reports for property managers – monthly proof of performance per property at the touch of a button
  • 13 languages – caretakers from Serbia, Croatia, Turkey or Romania work in their own language
  • Document winter services separately – log deployment times for snow clearance independently from cleaning and grounds maintenance
  • Payroll preparation in minutes – ready-made monthly summaries instead of collecting timesheet slips every week
  • Offline-capable – works even in basements, underground car parks and stairwells without mobile coverage

Häufige Fragen zur Zeiterfassung in der Hausbetreuung

How does NFC-based time tracking work at properties?

An NFC tag is affixed at each property – in the stairwell, at the entrance, or at the bin room. The property caretaker holds their smartphone up to the tag and is clocked in. The tag is linked to the property in the system, and the assignment happens automatically. When leaving, they clock out. No internet, no GPS.

Can property managers record multiple sites per day?

Yes, as many as needed. Each assignment is documented separately: Site A from 7:00 to 8:30, Site B from 9:00 to 10:15, winter maintenance Site C from 10:45 to 11:30. At the end of the day, the app displays all assignments with exact times.

Can I create reports per site for the property management company?

Yes. In the dashboard, filter by site and time period and export a monthly report as CSV, Excel or PDF. The report shows all hours worked, the assignment data and, optionally, the photo documentation. Ready for the property management company.

Can I record winter maintenance separately from cleaning?

Yes. Create winter maintenance, cleaning and grounds care as separate projects or service types. The property manager selects the service type when clocking in. This allows you to clearly separate hours by activity – for billing and internal analysis.

In which languages is the app available for property managers?

In 13 languages: Albanian, Bulgarian, German, English, Italian, Croatian, Polish, Romanian, Serbian, Slovak, Czech, Turkish and Hungarian. International teams are common in property management – everyone clocks in in their own language.

Does the app work in the basement or underground car park as well?

Yes. NFC tags work without internet and without mobile coverage. The entry is saved locally and synchronised automatically as soon as a connection is re-established. Not a single entry is lost – even in basements, stairwells and underground car parks.

Can property managers attach photos as proof of service?

Yes. Photos of cleared snow, cleaned stairwells or completed repairs are stored directly in the app against the relevant site. The photos are immediately available in the system and can be included in the report for the property management company.
