Time tracking and T&M tickets
Hours written on a scrap of paper on Friday afternoon are a guess. Hours logged against a job as they happen are a record — and the difference shows up directly in your margin and in the arguments you do not have to have with customers about what was actually done.

Clock in against the job, not the day
Hours land on the job they belong to, so job costing is a by-product of normal work rather than a monthly reconstruction.

T&M tickets signed on site
Extra work is written up while the customer is standing there and signed on the phone. That signature is the difference between billed and written off.
Payroll without retyping
Approved hours flow into payroll with overtime already separated, instead of being keyed in a second time from a photo of a timesheet.
Common questions
- Does it work without signal?
- Yes. Entries are stored on the phone and sync when the connection returns.
- Can I see labor cost per job?
- Yes. Hours carry their cost rate, so the margin on a job is visible while it is still running.
- Is there GPS?
- Clock-ins can record location so you can confirm someone was on site, without continuous tracking of your people.
