SLOGAN: GPS TRACKING & TIME MGT SYSTEMS This application allows service-based businesses to track mileage and time, adjust work schedules and communicate with employees/contractors working in the field, while also showing their real-time location. The employee application allows service providers to see their jobs in order for the day, the duration of each job and location of jobs on an at-a-glance map. Once an employee arrives at a job, they will use the application to Time In to the job. Once timed in, the clock will start and send reminder notifications to employees to keep them on time. After the job is complete and the employee Times Out, a photo is required (satisfaction form), notes can be written in the application, then the job is submitted for completion. Once submitted, the office and client (if they choose to be a part of the program) will get notifications of duration, photo and comment(s). In addition to the above features, a client and the office can communicate through the Message portion of the application with an employee. The client application allows clients to see where the service provider is in reference to their home, along with what job they are for the day. Example: Job 1, Job 2, Job3, etc. The client will receive a push notification once the job in their home has started, and one again once the job is complete. They will also receive any photos or comments an employee wishes to share. In addition, the client can communicate via Message in the application with an employee. All conversations between employee and client are also sent to the office. Once a client receives a notification of completion, a rating system will pop up, giving them the option to rate the clean via a star rating system. The rating will be available for 24hours so a client can rate the work done once they’ve seen it. PLEASE NOTE: The application will only work (employee) if their service providing company has a subscription.
