Live
1) Live Work‑Hours Location (a sumHR alternative)
Get a live view of on‑ground teams during work hours—who is active, where they are, and what needs attention (beyond sumHR).
A practical alternative for on‑ground accountability
Replace sumHR with location proof and route visibility
When the real gap is field visibility (not more complexity), TeamSpoor is a strong sumHR alternative. Track location during work hours, verify visits, review route playback, and keep reporting consistent across teams and territories.

* Demo view: real‑time field visibility with routes and on‑ground proof.
For on‑ground operations teams operations, visibility matters more than complexity
For on‑ground operations teams workflows, data quality is everything. TeamSpoor gives you proof‑backed field reporting so decisions aren’t made on assumptions.
✓
Cut manual reconciliation of field updates
✓
Keep tracking limited to work hours for better adoption
✓
Review daily routes to spot inefficiencies and delays
✓
Reduce disputes using a shared activity trail
What a first week looks like
First week
Implement in phases: install, set policy, review routes/visits, then add optional GPS attendance if required.
Fairness
Support reviews with consistent evidence.
Adoption
Keep tracking transparent and policy‑friendly.
Efficiency
Find routing inefficiencies and optimize.
Visibility
See who is active and where during work hours.
The on‑ground gaps teams face with sumHR
When teams work across sites and territories, the biggest challenge is consistent execution. Many teams searching for a sumHR alternative run into issues like:
✓
“We want accountability without creating a surveillance culture.”
✓
“Routes look fine on paper, but I can’t verify what happened.”
✓
“We struggle to validate time‑on‑site for jobs and visits.”
✓
“Coverage gaps show up too late to correct.”
TeamSpoor turns field execution into measurable signals: location during work hours, routes, and visit proof—ready for action.
Quick outcomes you can expect
Reduced disputes
Reduce disagreements with a shared audit trail.
Fairer reviews
Verify visits and time‑at‑location reliably.
Better routing
Tighten ETAs with real route visibility.
Less false reporting
Rely on location proof for clear expectations.
What TeamSpoor helps you do (beyond sumHR)
Simple to roll out, strong on proof: designed for managers who need visibility, not noise.
Proof
3) Visit Proof with Time at Location
Visit verification adds proof for on‑ground work and helps managers review execution fairly beyond sumHR.
Optional
4) Policy‑Based Attendance Signals
Optional attendance features support fairness and audits without forcing a surveillance culture for sumHR switchers.
Timeline
2) Travel History with Time Markers
Location history makes routing issues visible so you can optimize travel and reduce lost time after switching from sumHR.
TeamSpoor vs sumHR: what’s different
A quick view of differences that impact daily operations and reporting quality.
| Decision point | TeamSpoor | sumHR |
|---|---|---|
| Proof of work | Visit verification + time‑at‑location + route history. | Capabilities depend on sumHR plan and workflow. |
| Setup speed | Lightweight rollout with a fast pilot and simple policies. | sumHR rollout varies based on modules and configuration. |
| Privacy controls | Policy‑based tracking that can be limited to work hours. | Approach varies; confirm work‑hours and consent settings. |
| Field coaching | Use route/visit signals to improve coverage and performance. | Coaching depends on available field signals and data quality. |
| Primary focus | Work‑hours tracking, routes, and visit proof for field execution. | sumHR focuses on its broader product scope and workflows. |
| Best fit | Teams that need reliable on‑ground evidence and quick adoption. | Teams that need the broader scope sumHR provides. |
Note: sumHR capabilities vary by plan and configuration.
Three features that strengthen daily field operations
Designed to reduce rework and manual checks across distributed teams.
Quick route distance checks
Use the Route Distance Calculator to check travel distance while scheduling visits or jobs during a sumHR migration.
Geofence check-in/check-out
Enable Geofence attendance to strengthen compliance for site visits while keeping work‑hours boundaries clear after switching from sumHR.

Frequently Asked Questions
Helpful notes when switching from sumHR.
TeamSpoor supports policy‑based tracking so visibility can be limited to work hours. Employees can clearly understand when tracking is active, which improves adoption and trust.
If connectivity drops temporarily, the app can capture activity and sync when the device reconnects (depending on device settings and policy).
Battery impact depends on device and settings. TeamSpoor is designed to be efficient while keeping location updates reliable for real‑world field work.
Most teams can start with a pilot in a day: install the app, set work hours, and begin reviewing route and visit reports. Expansion to more teams can follow once workflows are confirmed.
Switch to TeamSpoor for clearer field visibility
When you need better field proof (not another complicated rollout), TeamSpoor delivers work‑hours tracking, routes, and visits in one dashboard so managers can act faster.
