Object-Based Time Tracking for Cleaning – Assign Every Hour to the Right Object
How many hours does each object actually require – and do those hours match the contract? Without object-based time tracking, these questions remain unanswered. With Jobilino, cleaning staff record their working hours directly via app or NFC and have them automatically assigned to the correct cleaning object. The result: clean object billing, transparent hour overviews and a system that shows which objects are profitable – and which are not.

- Hours per Object – Automatically Assigned
Automatic property assignment when clocking in
Cleaning staff select the correct property when starting time tracking – or scan the NFC tag on site. The hours are automatically assigned to the property, with no manual follow-up required.
Record multiple properties per shift
If a member of staff cleans multiple properties in one day, a separate booking is started for each property. All times remain clearly separated – even for five properties in a single evening.
Target/Actual Comparison per Cleaning Property
The dashboard allows you to compare contractual hour targets with actually recorded times – serving as an early-warning system for properties that consistently require more effort than calculated.
The problem
Without Object-Based Time Tracking: Flying Blind in Cleaning
Cleaning companies often manage dozens of objects simultaneously – office buildings, stairwells, medical practices, schools, shopping centres. Yet in most businesses, working hours are only recorded per employee, not per object. How many hours a specific object actually costs, whether the contractual hour target is being met and which objects consistently require more effort than calculated – all of this remains invisible. Decisions about pricing, staffing and contract renewals are based on gut feeling rather than data.
- Working hours are recorded per employee – but not assigned to specific properties
- No overview of how many hours a cleaning property actually costs
- Contractually agreed hour targets cannot be checked against actual hours worked
- Unprofitable properties go undetected – until the contract is renewed
- The office manually assigns hours to properties retrospectively – time-consuming and error-prone
- Staff scheduling is based on empirical values rather than actual property times
The solution
The Solution: Object-Based Time Tracking for Cleaning with Jobilino
With Jobilino, cleaning staff record their working hours directly via app or NFC – and have them automatically assigned to the correct cleaning object. When clocking in, the cleaning operative selects the object or scans the on-site NFC tag. Every minute is allocated to the correct object account. The office can see in real time how many hours are being spent per object, carry out target/actual comparisons and has a solid basis for billing, costing and workforce planning.
Property Billing at the Click of a Button
All hours per property, client or contract can be filtered and exported – as a ready-made basis for billing, without any manual preparation.
Data-Driven Staff Scheduling
Real property times show which properties require more staff and where capacity becomes available – for a staffing plan based on facts rather than estimates.
How it works
How Object-Based Time Tracking Works in Cleaning with Jobilino
-
Create cleaning objects
All cleaning objects are set up once in Jobilino – with name, address and an optional hours target from the contract.
-
Cleaning staff clock in at the object
When entering the object, the cleaning staff member clocks in via app or NFC tag – time starts running on the correct object account from that moment on.
-
Log object changes cleanly
When switching to the next object, the current booking is ended and a new one is started. Each object receives only the hours actually worked.
-
Track object hours in real time
The dashboard gives the office an at-a-glance view of how many hours have been logged per object at any time – and whether contractual requirements are being met.
-
Reporting, billing and export
All object-related time data is available ready-prepared – for client billing, target-versus-actual comparisons, cost calculation and internal management.
