When your phone connects to your office WiFi, we can automatically change your status. For many offices, this is the perfect solution between larger Geofences and smaller Beacon areas.
In most office spaces, wireless internet access is a fact of life. By using our Simple In/Out app, users can automatically update their status on the in/out board by walking into range of the WiFi signal and connecting. We even support restricting Networks to only certain access points if you have multiple sites using the same WiFi network name (SSID).
Because your automatic status updates will occur when you connect and disconnect from a WiFi Network, these updates are consistently accurate. One glance at your phone's WiFi indicator will tell you whether your phone is connected to the WiFi Network and allows you to troubleshoot with ease.
Automatic Updates via Networks work for both our Android and iOS users. Simple In/Out is among the only services to offer this feature, and the only in/out board that offers this feature to iPhone users.
Beacons work great for smaller areas or areas that require greater accuracy, but sometimes you need a larger area with the same accuracy or your area is large enough that the number of Beacons you'd need is cost-prohibitive. Using Networks, you can cover these areas without having to purchase new equipment.

Simple In/Out allows you to restrict a Network to only certain access points by their BSSID. This allows you to use the same WiFi network name (SSID) across multiple facilities while still having accurate automatic updates for each facility.
