At Summon, we’re taking staff management to the next level with our latest feature: Geofencing for Shift Compliance.
This new capability allows valet operators to enforce designated work areas, ensuring that staff members remain within their assigned location during their shift. If an employee moves outside the defined work zone, they will receive a prompt to return. If they do not return within a set time, Summon will automatically check them out, maintaining an accurate record of active staff.
Why Geofencing Matters
- Ensures an accurate headcount – Operators always know who is actively working, eliminating guesswork and ensuring better shift coverage.
- Prevents unauthorized absences – Staff members receive automated prompts if they leave the designated area, helping maintain accountability.
- Supports accurate time tracking – By automatically checking out employees who leave the work zone, the system ensures reliable shift records, reducing errors in time reporting.
- Lays the foundation for automated payroll – This feature is a key step toward integrating automatic payment calculations based on hourly rates per employee.
How It Works
- Define the work zone – Operators set a geofenced area for each valet location, ensuring staff stay within designated boundaries.
- Real-time tracking – Employees working a shift are monitored to ensure they remain within the geofence.
- Automated prompts – If a staff member leaves the designated area, they receive a notification prompting them to return.
- Automatic check-out – If they fail to return within the set timeframe, Summon checks them out of their shift, ensuring accurate timekeeping.
A Smarter Approach to Staff Management
Geofencing isn’t just about keeping track of employees—it’s about optimizing operations, improving accountability, and setting the stage for automated payroll calculations in the future.
With this update, Summon makes it easier than ever to ensure that valet teams are where they need to be, helping operators manage labor more effectively while ensuring accurate work-hour tracking.
