Who showed up.
What they got done.

Present answers the two questions every business owner needs to know — across every business and location you run. In real time. Not at the end of the day.

The thesis

Two questions.
One answer.

Every business runs on two things: who showed up, and what they actually did while they were there. Most owners can't answer either one without making a phone call.

Real-time check-ins across every business and location — all in one place. GPS-confirmed. Time-stamped. You see who clocked in, from where, and when. And when someone doesn't show, you know immediately — while there's still time to do something about it.

Not a summary at the end of the day.
Right now.

One owner told us: “If it's just limited to who signed in and who hasn't — that's too small.” She was right. Knowing someone was there isn't the same as knowing the work happened.

Assign tasks to your staff before the day starts. They update status as they go. You see it — without asking, without waiting.

Presence says they were there.
Tasks say the business moved.

Together, they give you something no group chat or end-of-day report can:

Confidence that your business is actually running.

The problem

Running a business
means flying blind.

You're not alone. The owners we've spoken to describe the same blind spots. They've built workarounds. But the problem never really goes away.

06:00 shift starts · 18:00 you find out
06:0012-HOUR GAP18:00
Problem 01

You find out too late.

One owner said it plainly: “I only know who came in when the money arrives.”

Twelve hours. That's the gap between when staff are supposed to show up and when the day's summary comes through. By then, the shift is over. The no-show already happened. The client who waited is already gone.

Present tells you the moment it happens.
Problem 02

When staff don't show, you do.

“The little extra time I have to probably relax, I'll have to step in and get the work done myself.” Then she said something that stuck with us: “That's the only thing that makes me different.”

Her business ran on her craft. When staff didn't show, she became the backup — and the thing that made her business worth going to was the first thing to suffer.

Present gives you enough notice to act before it becomes your problem.

Problem 03

You can't be in two places at once.

One owner described leaving customers waiting at his shop every time he checked his warehouse: “Those customers that go — that's money.”

You can build a business that outgrows your physical presence. Or you can stay small enough to watch it yourself.

Present is for the owners choosing the first option.
Problem 04

Every dispute without proof ends in payment.

You know something happened. But there's no system — so when the dispute comes, your only option is to ask someone what they remember. Memory becomes the record. The conversation gets uncomfortable. You pay to close it and move on.

Across every business we've spoken to, we heard some version of this. No-show. No proof. Payment. Move on.

Present gives you the proof. Timestamped. GPS-verified. Yours.

How it works

Set up in minutes.
Know in real time.

STEP 01

Add your businesses and locations.

Each site gets its own check-in point. Staff get a unique staff code.

STEP 02

Staff scan to check in.

Location confirmed. You're notified at intervals when things happen, or the moment it doesn't.

STEP 03

Assign tasks before the day starts.

Staff update progress as they go. You see it live — without a report, without a phone call.

STEP 04

Know your business is running.

Both questions answered. One screen. Wherever you are.

FAQ

Questions we've
actually been asked.

This was the first question two of our demo users asked — before we even finished showing them the product.

Every check-in is GPS-verified. Staff have to be physically inside the location's geofence for the check-in to count — scanning from home, from the road, or from another business won't pass.

On top of that, Present detects multiple check-ins from the same device in a short window and flags them. One phone scanning for the whole team is the most common workaround — and the easiest to catch.

We built Present for real businesses, not ideal ones.

A smartphone and mobile data.

When they arrive at work, they open their camera or QR scanner and scan the QR code at their location. The whole process takes under 45 seconds. No training required.

If a staff member doesn't have a smartphone, that check-in point can use a shared device — one phone mounted at the entrance works just as well.

No. Location is only checked at the moment of check-in and check-out — just enough to confirm they were on-site when they said they were.

Present doesn't run in the background. It doesn't follow your staff between locations, log their movements during a shift, or know where they go after work. The phone goes back in the pocket the second they've checked in.

Accountability at the start and end of the shift. Nothing in between.

CCTV tells you someone was at a location. It doesn't tell you who, at what time, from which of your three businesses, or whether they completed their assigned work that day.

Present gives you a named, timestamped, GPS-verified record for every staff member across every site — with tasks layered on top. It works alongside your existing cameras, not instead of them.

Yes — and this is one of the strongest use cases we've seen.

If you're managing staff from Canada, the UK, or anywhere outside Nigeria, Present may be the only reliable visibility you have. Check-ins land in real time. Alerts fire when someone doesn't show. Tasks update across your team — without anyone needing to send you a summary.

The staff who take advantage of “I'm not on the ground” have nowhere to hide.

You keep your data. We keep the relationship.

Pilot members get early access to new features, a direct line to the team, and input into what gets built next. If you decide Present isn't right for your business, you can export everything and leave — no lock-in.
