Week 41: Time Tracking — Aug 2 – 8, 2025
TL;DR: Integrated time tracking for technicians with clock-in/out, job time allocation, and timesheet management. Accurate labor costing flows into invoicing and payroll.
Highlights This Week
- Built Timesheet page with clock-in/out and job allocation
- Implemented GPS-verified time entries
- Added timesheet approval workflow for managers
Labor Cost Accuracy
Inaccurate time tracking costs field service companies money in both directions: underbilling customers and overpaying technicians. GPS-verified time tracking ensures: accurate job duration for billing, travel time accounting, and payroll accuracy.
How It Works
Technicians clock in via the app. GPS verifies they are at the job site. Time is allocated to specific jobs with automatic suggestions based on schedule. Managers review and approve timesheets weekly. Approved time feeds into invoicing (billable hours) and payroll export.
Under the Hood
- GPS verification with configurable tolerance radius
- Automatic break detection based on activity gaps
- Overtime calculation with configurable rules per tenant
- Export to common payroll formats (CSV, ADP, QuickBooks)
What’s Next
Inventory management for parts and materials tracking.
