ClockShark

Before a mobile punch, a worker selects the job and task being performed. The resulting time entry can carry that work context into timesheets and labor reporting, making the job and task list worth configuring carefully before launch.

Crew Clock lets a supervisor clock workers in or out, switch their tasks and log breaks, one at a time or as a crew. Check which roles may do this and how each entry is attributed when a team includes subcontractors.

ClockShark says mobile punches and breaks can be recorded offline, with locally stored entries sent after reconnection. Verify the actual queue, timestamps and exception handling on the devices and weak-signal sites your team uses.

The drag-and-drop schedule associates shifts with employees, jobs and tasks. Workers can view job details and files from the schedule, and the vendor says updates trigger phone notifications. Try a harmless last-minute reassignment and confirm that the right person sees the current instructions.

GPS is described for work punches and on-clock location updates; the vendor says tracking stops at clock-out. Before enabling it, review device permissions, employee notice, local privacy requirements and the behavior of breaks and missed clock-outs with a test crew.

A geofence can prompt someone entering or leaving a jobsite to clock in, out or switch tasks. An out-of-bounds clock-in may be flagged for review rather than accepted as proof of where work happened. Test boundary size, phone location settings and legitimate off-site tasks before using alerts operationally.

Online timesheets show punches, work details and location context from the field. Managers should review a sample with job changes and corrections before exporting hours; the existence of a payroll connector does not establish that the destination’s pay codes or overtime rules will map correctly.

The vendor lists connectors for QuickBooks, ADP and Sage. Verify the exact edition, connector fee, supported fields and approval path for your payroll or accounting setup with a fictional timesheet before moving real data.

On Pro, financial Job Costing uses tracked time and base pay rates for labor, lets administrators enter materials or subcontractor costs separately, and compares running cost with a bid. Job/task assignment and timesheet export are described across plans; do not assume the fuller cost view is included in Standard.

The job-management page describes conversations and file sharing between the field and office. Check which role can see job notes, files and customer context, and whether this covers the work-order or dispatch detail your business needs.
