Phantom Check In / Check Out

Never miss another clock in or clock out. Phantom Check In / Check Out is an intelligent GPS-powered attendance feature designed for busy trade businesses. If a worker forgets to clock in or clock out, or simply gets straight to work, SubbyLive can automatically record their attendance when they enter or leave the site's GPS geofence — creating more accurate attendance records, reducing missed hours and giving business owners greater confidence their workforce is where they should be.

How it works:

Automatically detects when a worker enters a site's GPS geofence.

Records an automatic check in if no manual clock in has been completed.

Detects when the worker leaves the site and can automatically record a check out.

Works in the background to help reduce forgotten or missed clock ins.

Keeps attendance records more accurate for payroll, reporting and timesheets.

Designed for construction, painting, plumbing, electrical, roofing, landscaping and all trade businesses.

Fully integrated with Live GPS, Live Workforce and Timesheets.

Managers remain in full control and can review or amend attendance records where required.
