Mapping & GPS Check-Ins

The first implementation of our mapping feature provides a simple way to track your employees throughout their workday. Below, you’ll find the information you need to use this feature.  This feature is available on select plans (see Kickserv plans)

Mapping on your account is available

Use the latest mobile apps

Your employees must have the latest version of the Kickserv iOS or Android mobile app to check in. Find the latest versions here:
Google Playstore
and
Apple Store

In addition, location services must be enabled on the device for the Kickserv application. On iOS, a user will be asked to enable location services once they open up the updated Kickserv app. On Android, users must agree to allow location services before downloading the app.

Checking In

To check in, an employee can simply view the job on the mobile app and press “Start Job”. This will change the job’s status to “In Progress” and send GPS coordinates.

All Check-in Triggers

The following actions in the mobile apps will trigger a check-in:

• Start Job

• Stop Job

• Place Job On Hold

• Remove Hold

• Mark Job Complete

• Add Signature

• Mark Event Complete

• Clock in/out 

• Add Time Entry

Viewing the Map

From the web app, you can view your employees’ last check-in at any time by viewing the Map. Your business’s address will be marked by the building icon and your employees will be shown by the small person icons.
