Worker time tracking for home & personal services

Your workers move from home to home throughout the day. ChronoTrack provides reliable proof of visit for each beneficiary, manages routes and factors in travel time - via QR code + PIN, with no app to install on phones.

The constraints of home care

In personal and home-care services, trust rests on proof: families and funders want to know the worker really came, at the right time and for the planned duration. On top of that come complex routes, travel time to be paid, and high turnover. ChronoTrack simplifies all of this.

Key features for home care

Proof of visit at every home

One QR code per beneficiary, scanned on arrival and departure, with GPS verification. You have a time-stamped, indisputable log for every service.

Credited travel time

Set a travel time per beneficiary: it is added to the worker's hours (payroll, labor law) without being billed to the client. Reports separate on-site time and travel.

Route scheduling

Build routes with the drag-and-drop weekly schedule, duplicate weeks and manage absences - the schedule automatically blocks assigning a worker who is on leave.

Team safety and peace of mind

For workers who operate alone, the SOS feature lets them alert a manager with their GPS position in case of a problem.

Operational very quickly

Create your beneficiaries and workers, print the QR codes, and clock-in starts from the very first round. Expect less than an hour of setup.

The questions home care providers ask us

“My caregivers don't have a work phone”

It is the most common situation in the sector, and the reason so many remote monitoring projects fail. Since there is no app to install, any phone with a browser and a camera works, including an old personal one. Nothing is stored on the device: the caregiver simply opens a web page for the time of the clock-in.

“The client doesn't want a device in their home”

There is no box to install, no phone line to use and no equipment to plug in. A discreet QR code sticker is enough - usually placed inside a cupboard or near the front door. It is far better accepted than landline-based remote monitoring systems, which are often felt to be intrusive.

“How do I justify hours to the funding body?”

Every visit is time-stamped and geolocated, with a check that the caregiver is actually at the home. Hours add up automatically per caregiver and per client and export to Excel - far stronger proof of service than a signed care log.

“My caregivers travel all day long”

Travel time between two homes is exactly what timesheets forget. You set a travel time per client: it is credited to the caregiver without being billed to the client. After a departure, the app shows the next scheduled visit and launches navigation to the next address.

The safety of caregivers alone in a client's home

A caregiver alone in a client's home is a lone worker under labor law. From the clock-in screen, an SOS button immediately sends their GPS position to the manager by email - and, on the Premium plan, by SMS too. It is a complementary alert system that does not replace a certified lone worker device, but it has the advantage of being active from day one, with no equipment, for the whole team.

For details on how it works with no installation, see the clock-in without an app page.

Home visit time tracking, explained

Each home has a QR code that the worker scans on arrival and departure, along with a PIN. The clock-in is time-stamped and geolocated: you get reliable proof of visit for families, funders and service tracking.
Yes. You can set a travel time per beneficiary: it is credited to workers in their hours calculation (useful for payroll and labor law compliance), without being billed to the client. Reports clearly separate on-site time and travel time.
No. Clock-in happens from the smartphone browser after scanning the QR code, with a simple PIN. No installation or account creation: it suits home-care workers, including replacements.
