GPS Time Tracking App for UK Teams
For UK businesses that need to verify attendance, our GPS time tracking app uses privacy-first geofencing to record on-site presence at every clock-in and clock-out. No live tracking, no surveillance — just accurate, verified timesheets.
Privacy-First Time Tracking
Our system is UK GDPR-aligned. We verify on-site presence with a GPS check only at the moment of clock-in and clock-out. We never track live location or movement history, ensuring employee privacy is protected.
End Timesheet Guesswork and Disputes
Manual timesheets are unreliable. Gain certainty with location-based time tracking that records every employee's GPS coordinates at clock-in and clock-out. Our system respects UK GDPR by capturing location only at those moments.
Flag Off-Site Check-ins
GPS geofencing records the distance from site at every check-in. Out-of-range events are automatically flagged and visible to managers on the shift detail page.
Individual Accountability
Each employee clocks in from their own mobile device, providing individual GPS-verified records and eliminating time theft from colleagues clocking in for each other.
Resolve Disputes with Data
Every clock-in and clock-out includes GPS coordinates, distance from the geofence, and a timestamp. Clear, verifiable records settle questions about attendance.
GPS Time Tracking in 4 Steps
Privacy-first location verification that gives you the assurance you need for accurate timesheets.
Add Locations
Register your work locations with a postcode or coordinates. Set a geofence radius for each — from 10 metres to any size you need.
Invite Your Team
Workers join via email invite and use the Android app or mobile web. Location permission is used only at the moment of clock-in and clock-out.
GPS-Verified Clock-In
The app captures GPS coordinates at the moment of clock-in/out and records the distance from the geofence. Out-of-range events are flagged.
Approve & Export
Managers review GPS-verified shifts and approve for payroll. Export to Sage, BrightPay, QuickBooks, or generic CSV. Simple pricing for any team size.
Accuracy for Managers, Privacy for Staff
GPS time tracking with geofencing that serves both business needs and employee trust.
Adjustable Geofence Radius
Set a custom geofence radius per location — from 10 metres for a precise office to hundreds of metres for a large site. Each location can have its own radius.
GPS-Verified Records
Every check event stores GPS coordinates, accuracy in metres, distance from the geofence, and a timestamp. Managers see all data on the shift detail page.
Geofence Violation Alerts
When a worker checks in outside the geofence, the event is flagged and a notification is sent to managers. The check-in is recorded with the actual distance.
Battery-Efficient
GPS is used only at the moment of clock-in and clock-out — not continuously. No background location, no battery drain between events.
Multi-Location Support
Manage GPS verification across multiple locations from one dashboard. Starter includes 1 location, Business up to 10, Enterprise up to 50.
Privacy-First Design
No live tracking, no route history, no background location. Managers cannot see live employee positions. GPS is captured at check events only.
GPS-Verified Timesheets You Can Trust
Every shift record includes GPS location data, providing a clear record of on-site presence alongside actual worked hours.
- Location Data Per Shift: Each shift detail page shows GPS coordinates, distance from the geofence, and whether the check-in was within range.
- Automatic Hour Calculation: Scheduled vs actual hours are calculated automatically from clock-in/out times. No manual data entry needed.
- Payroll Export: Export approved hours to Sage, BrightPay, QuickBooks, or generic CSV. Each export is stored as an immutable snapshot.
UK Compliance and Data Privacy Built-In
Geo Time Tracker is designed for UK businesses and follows UK GDPR data-minimisation principles.
Customer data is hosted in the United Kingdom (London region – LON1) on DigitalOcean infrastructure.
Location data is processed only at the moment a user actively clocks in or clocks out, solely to verify presence within an approved work location.
The platform does not provide continuous GPS tracking, live location monitoring, or movement history.
Managers can access attendance records and approved timesheets but cannot view live maps or employee movements.
Audit log retention varies by plan tier (30, 90, or 180 days). Payroll export snapshots are retained for the duration of the subscription.
Frequently Asked Questions
Your questions about GPS time tracking, answered.
Yes, provided it is done transparently and proportionately. Geo Time Tracker captures GPS only at the moment of clock-in and clock-out — never continuously, during breaks, or outside working hours. We recommend informing staff in their contracts that a GPS attendance verification system is used. See our UK GDPR & Privacy page for details.
No. GPS is captured only when a worker presses Clock In or Clock Out. No location data is collected during shifts, on breaks, or outside of working hours. There is no background tracking or route history.
The check-in is recorded and the distance from site is logged. The event is flagged as out-of-range and a notification is sent to managers. Managers can review flagged events on the shift detail page and decide how to handle them.
The app uses the phone's native GPS. Accuracy is typically within a few metres outdoors and may vary indoors or in dense urban areas. The adjustable geofence radius (minimum 10 metres) lets you set a practical boundary that accounts for GPS signal variations. Accuracy in metres is recorded with every check event.
Yes, but they will not be able to clock in. The app requires location permission to capture GPS coordinates at check-in. If location services are disabled, the app will prompt the user to enable them before they can record their time.
