Clocking In From the Truck

Clock in for the day or into a specific job, with a running timer, notes on the way out, and a reminder when you pull up to site.

Clocking In From the Truck

Hours reconstructed from memory on Friday afternoon are not hours. They're a guess that costs you money in both directions.

How it works

  1. Clock in for the day, or clock in against a specific job when you want hours attributed to it.
  2. A live timer runs so everyone can see the clock is actually going.
  3. Clock out and add work notes while the job is still fresh.
  4. Review session history — total hours and entry counts, per person.

The two things that stop hours going missing

Arrival reminders. The app can notice when a phone pulls onto a job site and prompt: don't forget to clock in. Same on the way out. Owners are told when technicians arrive and leave by default — it's a switch in settings if you'd rather not be.

Auto clock-out. Set a threshold between 1 and 24 hours and anyone who forgets gets clocked out automatically, instead of accruing 40 hours over a weekend.

Where you'll find it

Web at /dashboard/time-clock, and a dedicated Clock tab in the mobile app for both owners and technicians.
