Staff & Operations App questions

Can staff clock in only at the workplace?

Yes. Clock-in can be limited to your sites using the phone's location, with a photo option, so attendance records match where people really are.

Does it replace our spreadsheets?

Attendance, leave, tasks and stock are recorded in the app and reported in the admin panel, and you can export anything to Excel or Google Sheets when you need it.

Can different roles see different screens?

Yes. Staff, managers and admins each see what their role needs, and managers only see and approve requests for their own team.

How much does it cost?

Our app plans are $3,000 for a Starter App, $5,000 for a Business App with accounts and an admin panel, and $8,000 for an Advanced App with a separate staff app, tracking and payments. Each plan is a fixed, one-time price.

Do you build for iPhone as well as Android?

Yes. We build in Flutter, so one codebase gives you an Android app and an iPhone (iOS) app. Every plan includes publishing on Google Play and the Apple App Store under your own accounts.

Who owns the app and the code?

You do. The app is published under your own Google Play and Apple developer accounts, the backend runs in your own Firebase project, and you receive the full source code at handover.
