How ZimQi Compares to Other Australian Timesheet & Field Apps
Most timesheet apps make you choose between two headaches: paying $6 to $55 per worker every month (even for casuals and subcontractors who only work two days a week), or forcing every worker on site to download, update, and remember the password for yet another smartphone app.
ZimQi takes a different route for Australian cleaning, trade, security, care, and facilities crews: workers check in, check out, and fill site forms inside Telegram (or via a personal browser link), supervisors approve with a tap, completed forms file straight to your own Google Drive or Dropbox, and you pay a predictable flat monthly band starting at A$19/mo ex GST (A$20.90/mo inc GST).
