Labor is almost always a contractor’s single largest and most variable expense. When crews write estimated hours on paper timesheets or text end-of-day guesses, payroll inflation quickly erodes job margins.
The true cost of timesheet rounding
Rounding clock-in and clock-out times by just 15 minutes per worker per day adds up to over $1,800 in unbilled labor costs per technician annually. Multiply that across a 5-person crew, and you are losing nearly $10,000 every year on work that was never performed.
How automated geofencing solves the problem
Geofencing establishes a virtual perimeter around active job coordinates. When a crew member arrives at the job site, their smartphone detects their proximity and automatically logs the arrival time.
- Verified on-site clock-ins: Guarantees billable hours match physical presence on the property.
- Roster privacy & battery optimization: Smart adaptive sampling tracks location only during transit and on-site shifts.
- Drag-and-drop schedule dispatching: Move unscheduled work orders onto the calendar and dispatch driving directions directly to crew mobile portals.
