Proof the work was done.
A worker cannot clock in unless their phone places them at the job. They cannot finish without photographing the site before and after. The office gets one package it can trust.
iOS app for the field. Web dashboard for the office. Nobody self-registers.
How a job runs
Six steps, and the app enforces the order. Nothing can be skipped, back-dated or edited after the fact.
- 01Created against an address
The office creates the job at a street address and sets the radius that counts as being on site.
- 02Assigned to a worker
It appears on their phone with the address, the fence, and what the work is.
- 03Gated by GPS
Clock-in unlocks only inside the radius. Outside it, the app refuses and says how much closer to get. Every refusal is recorded.
- 04Before photographs
As many as the site needs, each stamped with time and coordinates.
- 05After photographs, clock out
Checked against the same radius. Both sets are required to submit.
- 06Reviewed as one package
The office sees location, times, both photo sets and the full trail, and approves or sends it back with a note.
The gate is the product.
Most field tools treat location and photographs as optional metadata on a timesheet. WorkerMeter inverts that. The geofence is a hard condition of the clock, and the before-and-after pair is a hard condition of submission. The evidence is not a feature of the record. It is the record.
- Distance is computed on the server from the coordinates it receives.
- A refused clock-in stays in the trail, with how far out the worker was.
- Once a job is submitted, nothing in the package can be edited.
Built for a phone held in one hand, in the sun.
Legible outdoors
The distance to the site is the largest thing on the screen, in figures a worker can read at arm’s length in direct light. Targets are sized for gloves.
Never blocked by the network
Photographs upload behind the shutter. The app never holds a worker on a spinner at the moment they are standing in the right place.
Native on iOS
Real tab bars and navigation, Dynamic Type, Dark Mode, and every state shown as a word as well as a colour.
What it does not do yet.
Written down rather than hidden, because the gaps matter to anyone deciding whether to rely on it.
- A device that deliberately falsifies its location is not defeated. iOS reports a simulated location and WorkerMeter records it, but does not act on it.
- Photographs are not yet queued across an app restart.
- There is no invoicing, payroll or hourly rate anywhere in the system.
- Android is not released.
Getting an account
Companies do not self-register. An administrator issues an invite code, and that code decides which company you join and what you can see.
If your office already uses WorkerMeter, ask them for a code. If you are setting up a company, write to us.
