For multi‑site workforce, shifts, and supervisors operations, visibility matters more than complexity
In multi‑site workforce, shifts, and supervisors, outcomes depend on what happens between the first stop and the last. TeamSpoor helps teams create a clean trail of work‑hours activity—routes, visits, and presence—without adding admin overhead.

The on‑ground gaps teams face with When I Work
When teams work across sites and territories, the biggest challenge is consistent execution. Many teams searching for a When I Work alternative run into issues like:
✓
“I can’t tell who is actually in the field right now.”
✓
“Visits are reported, but there’s no reliable proof.”
✓
“Attendance is marked, yet site presence is unclear.”
✓
“We waste time chasing updates on calls and WhatsApp.”
With TeamSpoor, visibility is automatic: live status, route timelines, and visit verification in one place.

TeamSpoor compared to When I Work
A practical comparison focused on what field managers use every day: work‑hours visibility, routes, and visit proof.
| Decision point | TeamSpoor | When I Work |

| Privacy controls | Policy‑based tracking that can be limited to work hours. | Approach varies; confirm work‑hours and consent settings. |
| Best fit | Teams that need reliable on‑ground evidence and quick adoption. | Teams that need the broader scope When I Work provides. |
| Primary focus | Work‑hours tracking, routes, and visit proof for field execution. | When I Work focuses on its broader product scope and workflows. |
Note: When I Work capabilities vary by plan and configuration.

It depends on what you use When I Work for. TeamSpoor replaces the field visibility layer (location, routes, visits, optional GPS attendance). Many teams keep other systems for billing, HR, or CRM and use TeamSpoor for on‑ground proof.
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).
Yes. Route history, time‑at‑location, and visit proof help managers review performance consistently and resolve disputes with a shared record of activity.
