Company Setup and Mobile Time Punches
ExakTime turns an Android phone or tablet into a construction-focused time clock. A worker connects the app to an employer by entering a company setup code, then uses the assigned workflow to record work time. Individual PIN access, job locations, and activity or cost-code choices help each punch carry more useful context than a handwritten timesheet.
The setup screen also lets a worker name the device, which is practical when a company manages shared phones or tablets. Once the organization has provisioned access, employees can move between assigned work activities without carrying a separate paper card. This structure suits contractors that need consistent labor records across changing crews and job sites.
GPS Context for Construction Job Sites
Location tools connect each time punch with the job site where work begins or ends. GPS stamps, job-site geofences, and map-based team views can help supervisors compare reported time with assigned locations. GeoTrakker can add movement context while an employee is clocked in, supporting crews that travel between several sites during a shift.
These controls are designed for field accountability rather than general navigation. Managers can review who is clocked in, see work-site activity, and use location reports to investigate off-site punches or travel between jobs. Workers should review Android location choices with their employer because full location-based workflows depend on the permissions and policies configured for their organization.
Crew Oversight and Field Notes
ExakTime supports both individual workers and supervisors responsible for a larger crew. Managers can add employees, crews, work locations, and cost codes, while crew-level clock-in tools reduce repetitive entry when several people begin the same assignment. The connected web system gives office staff a broader view of labor activity without waiting for paper cards to return from the field.
Field notes add useful job-site context to those records. Workers can create text, photo, or audio notes for later review, giving supervisors a way to connect daily events with labor activity. For contractors handling multiple projects, this combination keeps time, location, and field communication organized around the same workforce workflow.
Offline Records and Payroll Handoff
Construction sites do not always have reliable cellular service, so ExakTime can hold time data on the device until a connection returns. This lets workers continue recording information in low-signal areas instead of rebuilding a shift from memory later. Automatic synchronization then moves available records into ExakTime's online system for office review and reporting.
The resulting data can support payroll and accounting workflows, reducing manual timecard collection and duplicate entry. Reports help managers review labor hours, overtime, job activity, and location details before transferring records onward. This makes the app most useful for companies that already use the wider ExakTime system and want a consistent bridge between field crews and office administration.
