Use cases: which sectors and organizations benefit from Virtual Time Recorder

VTR fits any organization with distributed, mobile or multi-site staff: healthcare, construction and public works, facility management, public administration, industry and logistics, retail and events, professional firms. In all these contexts employees clock in from their smartphone using the most suitable mode (GPS, georeferenced QR, Bluetooth/Beacon, NFC).
