When I Work
WhenIWork is a popular workforce management tool focused on shift-based businesses — drag-and-drop shift scheduling, a time clock, and team messaging. It works well for retail and hospitality shift rosters, but it was not designed for field operations, patrol reports or GPS dispatch.

Why Teams Switch to ZentiKO
Field GPS Tracking
Live GPS map of every agent and every task, with per-task arrival detection. WhenIWork has a punch-in clock but no live field map.
Patrol Reports & Mobile Forms
Configurable patrol task types with custom fields, photo capture and digital sign-off — perfect for security companies. WhenIWork has no comparable task or form builder.
Field Task Management
Dispatcher Gantt and live map with three layout modes, drag-to-assign, configurable workflows. WhenIWork is shift-only — it does not dispatch tasks.
ISO 27001 + GDPR by Default
ZentiKO is ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified, ISO 9001:2015 certified and GDPR compliant. Multi-language in-product (EN, BG, ES, FR) for international teams.
