Considering GPS time tracking for your field crews? Here are answers to the questions we hear most often.

General Questions

What is GPS time tracking?

GPS time tracking combines traditional time tracking (clock in/out) with GPS location verification. When a worker clocks in, the app records both the time AND their location. This proves they were at the job site when they say they were.

How does it work?

Worker opens the app on their smartphone
Taps “Clock In”
App records the time and GPS coordinates
Location is shown on a map for managers
When work ends, worker taps “Clock Out”
Time entry includes start location, end location, and total hours

What’s the difference between GPS tracking and geofencing?

GPS tracking records your location when you clock in/out.
