The direct answer (AEO)
Cleaning and janitorial crew GPS tracking proves technicians arrived at commercial buildings during contracted windows — especially night shifts when property managers cannot visually verify presence. Geofenced mobile clock-in, dwell-time logs, and multi-facility route mileage replace sign-in sheets taped to guard desks.
Janitorial contracts tie payment to provable service delivery — GPS evidence resolves "crew never showed" disputes without security camera dependency.
Janitorial tracking scenarios
| Scenario | GPS evidence |
|---|---|
| Office tower night clean | Geofence dwell 2–4 hours |
| Multi-building campus route | Stop sequence replay |
| Airport/security clearance sites | Timestamp without photo |
| Franchise multi-location | Per-site geofence template |
| Prevailing wage government | Hour export for payroll |
Night shift and buddy punch
Cleaning crews buddy-punch at centralized time clocks miles from job site. Geofence-bound clock-in requires presence inside building polygon.
Geofence time theft prevention
Mileage for multi-site cleaners
Technicians driving personal vehicles between 3–8 buildings per shift. Session rollup CPM — commute to first site excluded per policy.
Property manager reporting
Export weekly dwell summary per building — contract compliance without manual supervisor drive-bys.

FAQ
Does GPS work inside large buildings?
Clock-in at entrance geofence; dwell detected via polygon presence. Underground parking may need widened boundary.
Janitorial GPS vs security guard tracking?
Same multi-site night-shift model — geofence proof + route between sites.
Can clients receive automated proof-of-service?
Export dwell reports per contract SLA — timestamped without exposing employee home location.
Cleaning crew mileage for van vs car?
Company vans: fuel card expense; personal car: CPM from GPS session.
