“Time” (formerly Infinitime Atlas Mobile App) is the employee mobile application that is used with Mainspring Time software (formerly Infinitime Online). Mainspring Time is a robust workforce management system that allows businesses to proactively track their employee workforce from the office, the field, and mobile workers. Mainspring Time has the ability to track accruals, schedules, time sheets, time exceptions, and much more. Our application does geolocation for geofencing and for punching when entering geofenced areas. This is done with continued use of GPS location in the background. We strive to use as little battery as possible for this feature and disable the constant geolocation when the geofencing feature is disabled in the server. Please be aware that continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
