Why attendance proof matters for lock and unlock work
These visits are often contract-critical because they relate to access, alarms, opening times, and building security. If a dispute arises, the quality of your attendance record matters immediately.
Clear proof also reduces back-and-forth with the client after the visit has already happened.
What stronger proof looks like
The best attendance proof combines timing, site identification, and a report that can be retrieved easily later.
- Timestamped record of attendance
- Site-specific record tied to the contract location
- Optional QR or checkpoint proof where relevant
- Clear visit notes if an issue occurred
- Client-ready report or portal visibility
Why this should not depend on memory
The more you rely on memory, phone calls, or paper notes, the weaker your lock and unlock record becomes. That creates avoidable doubt around one of the most sensitive parts of the service.
A stronger digital record protects both the client and the provider.
