Mobile clocks should assume chaos: dead zones, shared devices, bilingual crews, and people who will not update apps willingly.

Cloq-it’s employee screens prioritize punch, break, switch job, schedule, and PTO — not settings sprawl.

Common questions

BYOD or company phones?
Either. Company phones simplify GPS policy; BYOD needs clear permission education.
Can we MDM-manage the app?
Use your MDM for distribution; Cloq-it still needs correct location permission for geofencing.
