Most failed geofence rollouts share one cause: radii copied from a demo (500 m everywhere) that do not match the site. Too tight and punches fail; too loose and the driveway counts.
Cloq-it attaches fence settings to each job so a downtown cafe and a rural pad can differ.

Setup sequence that works
- Pin jobs that are active this weekDo not geofence historical noise.
- Walk the arrival pathSet radius from where phones actually get a fix.
- Pick one company modeAuto, prompt, or on-site rule — then train it.
- Check crew phonesAlways permission + sites watched before go-live.
Training one-liners
Auto: “Your phone clocks you when you get there.” Prompt: “Your phone asks — tap Clock in.” On-site: “If it says move closer, walk to the site.”
| Site type | Start around | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Single storefront | 100–150 ft | Watch urban GPS bounce |
| Residential job | 150–250 ft | Include driveway if crews stage there |
| Large campus / plant | 400–800 ft | Or multiple fences per zone |
Common questions
Can one person have overlapping job fences?
Yes. Prefer prompts or clear primary-job rules so two arrives do not confuse the day.
What if GPS is bad indoors?
Use a tablet at the door, widen radius carefully, or rely on prompt + manager judgment.
