VisitsTracker › GPS tracking
GPS tracking for field staff
A live map and a full trail during the hours you set — and nothing outside them. Workers can see exactly what is held about them, which is what makes it stick.
No card needed. Set up in an afternoon.
Outside your collection hours, fixes are refused at the server and never stored.
The trail
The day, and what it is made of
Select somebody and the day draws itself: every fix, the route between them, distance moved, and the count of readings it was drawn from.
- A trust verdict on the whole set, so no line is read without knowing what is behind it.
- Stops that matched no site are kept as unmatched stays, with their own start, end and duration.
- Play the day back rather than only reading it.
The unmatched stay is usually a site nobody added, which is a pin to fix rather than an accusation to make.
Spoofing
A faked position is kept, and never counted
Mock-location apps are free and take a minute to install. Deleting what they produce hides the problem; marking it is what makes a record hold.
- Detected at the point of capture, on the handset, before it is sent.
- The reading is stored and shown, flagged, rather than quietly dropped.
- Flagged readings never reach an hours total, a distance, or a visit.
The handset
Most tracking failures are a phone, not a person
A worker who looks like they stopped reporting has usually been put to sleep by their own phone. Naming the setting is more use than an argument.
- Battery optimisation caught per manufacturer, because Xiaomi and Samsung differ.
- The app says what is wrong and links to the exact screen that fixes it.
- Everything queues offline and syncs later, keeping the time it actually happened.
Also in the box
Bounded, visible, and honest about the trade
Working hours only
Set the days and hours. Outside them nothing is stored, and that is enforced on our side rather than by a switch in the app a manager could flip.
Workers see the same record
The same data, in their app, on the same day — counted, not summarised. They can export it themselves without asking anyone.
About battery, honestly
This is a high-accuracy tracker, so it uses more battery than a light app. Two things keep it reasonable: it goes quiet when someone stops moving, and it does not run outside your shift hours. Most complaints turn out to be the phone’s own power saver killing the app, which the in-app check will tell you.
Straight answers
Questions people ask
Does it drain the battery?
It uses more than a light app because it is a high-accuracy tracker. It quietens down when someone stops moving and stops entirely outside shift hours. If a phone is using more than expected, the in-app check usually finds a manufacturer power-saving setting is interfering.
Does it track people after work?
No. Outside the hours you set, readings are refused and not stored. The worker’s own screen shows them which hours apply.
What if someone fakes their location?
The reading is kept and marked as fake. It never counts toward a visit, an hours total or a mileage claim, but it stays visible — including in anything you send out.
Will my staff accept it?
They take it better when they can see it. Bounded hours, a worker-facing record they can export themselves, and the fact that the same record backs them up in an argument about unpaid hours.
What if there is no signal?
Everything keeps working. Readings and entries wait on the phone and upload in order when signal returns, carrying the times they actually happened.
