how it works
Live in a day, not a quarter.
No wiring, no integrations, no IT project. If you already use QR codes or NFC tags, keep them: they work on the same record, and you can upgrade checkpoint by checkpoint whenever it suits.
step one
Checkpoints, ready out of the box
Pre-configured Bluetooth beacons mark the places that matter: lobbies, bathrooms, plant rooms, car parks. Scan, stick, done, in under a minute each. They record nothing; they simply mark the spot, like a room number on a door.
step two
Presence, noticed: nothing scanned
During a rostered shift, a worker’s phone notices nearby checkpoints automatically. No scanning, no photos, no fuss: the phone stays in the pocket and the work gets done.
This is the quiet difference between enwitness and tap-based checkpoint systems. A tap system turns every checkpoint into a small task: stop, phone out, hold it to the tag, move on. enwitness has no taps and no scanning - the worker’s phone notices the beacon in passing, and the round verifies itself while the work gets done. New to the term? Read what is proof of presence?

step three
A record everyone can rely on
Every visit is logged with the checkpoint, the time and the dwell where a task needs a minimum. Managers get a live picture; the building gets one honest history that owner, manager and every contractor work from.
step four
Anyone can flag a problem
A worker reports an issue in one tap, photo attached. A resident or visitor scans a lobby QR: no app, no login. Safety issues push to the right people immediately; everything else arrives in a digest, and every issue runs open → in progress → resolved on the same record as the work.

R-A1B2C3Works with what you’ve already got
Beacons are the strongest evidence (passive, nothing to scan) but QR and NFC checkpoints work on the same record for spots where a beacon doesn’t suit. Mix them freely, and swap a QR for a beacon whenever you like. Nothing to rip out, nothing to migrate.
What it isn’t
enwitness is not a timesheet, not payroll, and not surveillance. There’s no GPS and no off-shift logging: presence is only ever “near checkpoint X during a rostered shift.” Workers see their own record, and can switch themselves unavailable, which shows as “no data,” never a black mark.
What about tampering?
Any checkpoint technology - QR codes, NFC tags or beacons - can in theory be attacked by a determined insider. We designed for that reality instead of pretending it away. The platform watches for the patterns that fraud creates: impossible travel between checkpoints, cloned signals, coverage that does not add up. No single scan is blindly trusted; the record is the whole pattern. A faked checkpoint does not beat the system - it flags the account.
A card for every checkpoint.
The report-it cards print with the building’s logo and their own code, ready for the wall - foyer, kitchen, bathrooms, plant room, car park. Whoever scans one needs no app and no account; it lands on the right spot and reaches the right team.

Out of supplies, a spill, or an appliance not working? Scan and it reaches the facilities team.

Out of paper, not clean or something broken? Scan and it goes straight to the cleaning team for this bathroom.
