Zemke and the Crew
The Invisible Barricade
A freshly sealed floor and a request to hide the barriers
The problem in this strip
Ever been asked to keep the floor safe, but hide every sign? A freshly sealed floor still needs its barriers, even when the shine is perfect.
What ZimQi really does
Crew check in and check out on Telegram, and each site's check-ins and check-outs appear on one web dashboard. ZimQi records crew attendance; it does not replace physical barriers or site safety procedures. ZimQi is now in early-access beta testing. Telegram is required for crew.
