Your Team Is Not Always at a Desk

Field workers, mobile employees, and distributed teams need time tracking that works from any device. If tracking is inconvenient, people stop doing it.

Without multi-platform support

  • Mobile workers cannot track time without a desktop app
  • Paper timesheets and manual entries are inaccurate
  • No GPS verification for field or on-site workers
  • Employees forget to log hours when switching devices
  • Managers cannot see who is working from mobile
  • Data is scattered across devices and never reconciled

  • iOS app with GPS location tracking for field workers
