Choosing the right employee tracking solution is crucial for ensuring operational efficiency, especially for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). Recent findings based on detailed testing, conducted under controlled environments with real-world scenarios, provide valuable insights into two platforms: Where’s My Staff and Jibble. The testing methodology focused on power consumption, data efficiency, and user experience by monitoring these metrics over a standard workday. Both platforms offer tools for employee attendance and location tracking, but the findings highlight distinct differences in performance and usability. This article focuses on these findings, showcasing how Where’s My Staff delivers optimized performance tailored specifically for SMB needs.
Power Consumption: The Smarter Option for Devices
Battery consumption can significantly affect the usability of an employee tracking app, especially for field teams or remote employees who rely on their devices throughout the day.
Where’s My Staff: Consumes only 1.9% of battery power during a standard workday, even when running in the background.

Efficient data usage is crucial for both cost management and ensuring seamless operation, especially in areas with limited connectivity. Let’s compare:
Where’s My Staff: Uses only 1.21 MB of data during a full workday, with minimal background activity (just 845 bytes).
Jibble: Consumes a hefty 5.12 MB of data, including higher background usage.
