How digital time tracking works


With mobile time tracking for tradespeople, you and your team can log work hours from anywhere—on the job site, in the warehouse, or on the go. Start and stop timers in real time within the app, eliminating paper clutter and the need for manual entry later. The time tracking app for trades also works perfectly without an internet connection: data is cached and automatically synchronized as soon as you are back online.

With the tradespeople’s time tracking feature, you can request and manage holiday leave just as easily as regular working hours. Whether on your mobile or computer — holiday requests can be submitted in a matter of seconds. Admins can keep track of all requests and approve or reject them straight away. Once approved, the holiday is automatically recorded as a time entry — giving you full transparency over the team’s holiday planning at all times and ensuring everything runs smoothly on site and in the office.


Thanks to the mobile app, you no longer have to chase up missing timesheets. The app automatically reminds your team to log their working hours on time – whether daily or at the end of a project. This ensures that your time tracking for trades work remains complete and up to date, without you having to keep chasing them up.
