What good offline looks like

Cloq-it

Punches and geo events queue on device and flush when connectivity returns. Managers should still glance at pending devices via readiness tools after big outages.

Common questions

How long can a queue sit?
Sync as soon as possible. Multi-day queues complicate disputes even if technically stored.
Does offline bypass geofence rules?
Distance checks still use the fix captured at punch time; spoofing remains blocked when detected.
