GPS time tracking for field crews

Business Genie includes GPS time tracking for field crews, alongside scheduling, route optimization, invoicing and job costing, on the web and in the iOS and Android app. GPS time tracking ties the hours a tech records to where they were when they recorded them.

Where GPS time tracking fits

Crews clock their hours in the same app they use for the day’s jobs and turn-by-turn directions, and those hours sit beside scheduling, invoicing and job costing.

Hours your crews work, recorded with GPS.

  1. Hours from the field

    Crews record their time from the app they already use for their jobs.

  2. The same app as the route

    The app that tracks time also gives techs turn-by-turn directions to each job.

What is GPS time tracking?

GPS time tracking records a worker’s hours together with their location, so a clock-in on a job site can be told apart from a clock-in from the truck at home. For field crews it replaces paper timesheets and memory at the end of the week.

Sample data: a technician’s clock-ins for one week, Monday to Friday. On a paper timesheet written up on Friday, every morning reads 8:00 AM and nothing says where. With GPS time tracking each clock-in has its own time and place: four at the shop, and Wednesday’s, at 7:52 AM, from home, 1.3 miles from the shop.

Does it need separate hardware?

Business Genie runs in the iOS and Android app, so crews use the phone they already carry.

GPS time tracking works with time tracking, job costing, the mobile app and dispatch.

Where GPS time tracking sits in a job

GPS time tracking is the stop where the work is: the hours are recorded on the job, from the app, with the place they were recorded. Every stage on this line is part of the same software, on the web and in the iOS and Android app.
