Usually yes, because it works in their favour too. Location is collected only during an active shift and stops the second the worker presses “Stop”. They can see their own hours, so they stop being the weaker side in a payday dispute. Formally you need to inform them about the processing — we hand you a template clause during onboarding.
What if there's no signal on site?
The app keeps working. Shift starts, photos, closed tasks and route points are stored on the phone and sent automatically once the network returns. The recorded time stays the real one — the moment the button was pressed, not the moment it uploaded.
Does it work on old phones?
Yes. The app is light and deliberately simple — one big button on the home screen. It runs on Android and iPhone, including hardware that's several years old.
How long does onboarding take?
Day one: we create your company, load your sites and workers and generate QR codes. Day two: the crew starts working in the app. Scheduling and reports can follow at your own pace.
Can I bring data over from a spreadsheet?
There is no automatic import — workers and sites are added in the panel by hand. For a dozen people and a handful of sites that is one afternoon, and along the way you set entry codes and scopes of work that were never in the spreadsheet anyway. We don't backfill historical hours: from launch day, what the system records is what counts.
Who can see a worker's location?
Only the owner and coordinators of your company. Clients using the portal see neither position nor route — they get completed work and photos. Workers see only their own history.
Where is the data stored?
On servers in the European Union. Chat is encrypted at rest, photos live in separate object storage, and every access to data leaves an entry in the audit log.
Can I cancel any time?
Yes. Monthly billing ends with the paid period, with no notice period. Before closing your account you export all of your data in PDF, XLSX and CSV.
Who exactly am I paying for?
Active worker accounts in a given month. Coordinator accounts and your own are free. Disabling the account of someone who left reduces the bill from the next period.
Does fluo support lone workers or night shifts?
Yes. fluo includes dedicated lone-worker safety features. During an active shift, workers have an instant SOS slider that dispatches their GPS position and raises an urgent alarm with audible alerts in the coordinator panel. The system can also enforce periodic safety check-ins (dead-man switch) at preset intervals — if a worker misses a check-in, coordinators receive an immediate critical alert with the worker's location on the map.
Do shifts have to follow rigid hours, or can we use flexible scheduling?
fluo handles both fixed shift schedules and flexible working windows. If a job only needs to be completed sometime during the day without strict start and end times, the worker begins whenever appropriate — the system tracks exact time on site without triggering false tardiness alerts.
Does fluo fit my industry?
If your people work outside an office, on someone else's premises, and you have to account for it — it fits. Cleaning, security and patrols, facility maintenance, groundskeeping and snow clearing, field service and installations, construction crews. fluo does not pretend to know your trade; it tracks time, place, tasks and proof, and those look the same everywhere.
Fifteen minutes and you'll see it on your own sites
No sales deck. We show you the panel on data like yours and tell you straight whether it adds up for you.
