Project management, time tracking, equipment, and safety in one mobile tool built for construction companies.
Construction GPS Time Tracking
Give employees a simple mobile clock-in and give managers the details needed to approve it. CrewView connects location-verified entries with projects, tasks, crew assignments, and payroll-ready timecards.
Location Context for Every Timecard
A timestamp alone leaves the office guessing. CrewView keeps the clock event, location, project, task, and employee in the same time record.
Employees use their phones to record the start and end of work without carrying a paper card back to the office.
Record hours against a project and task so the timecard can support payroll and labor-cost review.
Supervisors review the entry with its location and work context before approved hours move to payroll.
When a paper timecard arrives days later, the details are already fading. CrewView captures location data with the clock event so managers have a useful record when they review an unusual start time or job assignment.
Construction employees may work on more than one project or cost activity. CrewView lets the time record follow the work, giving project managers and payroll staff a clearer starting point than a total number of hours.
GPS verification does not remove the need for supervisor review. It gives the supervisor better context. After review, CrewView exports approved timecards without forcing payroll to retype handwritten entries.
Setting Up GPS Time Tracking
A GPS time clock cannot fix an unclear policy by itself. Contractors get better records when employees know when to clock in, how to choose a job, and what happens when an entry needs correction.
Document when the paid day begins and ends, how the company handles travel, breaks, and overtime, and who records time for each crew. Explain that CrewView captures location with clock-in and clock-out entries rather than presenting the feature as continuous tracking. A direct policy makes expectations easier to follow and gives supervisors a consistent standard when they review missing, late, or unusual entries.
Ask employees to select the project and task that match the work, but do not bury a field clock-in under a long list of codes. Use names the crew recognizes and maintain the options as projects change. When an employee moves during the day, record the new work rather than assigning every hour to the first job. Clean job coding gives payroll and project managers labor detail they can use.
Supervisors should focus on missing clock events, entries on an unexpected project, overlapping time, and repeated manual corrections. Location data gives context, but it does not replace a conversation with the employee. Resolve the exception while the supervisor and crew still remember what changed. This produces a fairer timecard and keeps the payroll team from reconstructing the week after the fact.
Set an approval deadline and name the person responsible for each crew or project. Once the timecard is reviewed, export the approved record instead of entering it again in a separate spreadsheet. Keep project and task detail available for labor-cost review. The same hours can then support employee pay, job costing, and future planning without creating three versions of what happened in the field.
Frequently Asked Questions
Contractors need accurate time records without turning a simple clock-in into a burden. These answers explain how CrewView adds location and job context.
A construction GPS time clock records when an employee clocks in or out and captures location data with the entry. Managers can review the time, location, project, and task before approving the record.
CrewView uses geolocation to verify clock-in and clock-out records. The timecard workflow is designed to document work entries, not to present itself as continuous employee surveillance.
Yes. Employees can record time against the project and task where they are working, which gives payroll and project managers more useful labor detail.
Authorized supervisors can review timecards and their supporting details, make permitted corrections, and approve clean records before payroll export.
Yes. Time can be recorded against different projects and tasks, giving the company a clearer record when an employee changes work during the day.
Hours recorded against the correct project and task give managers better labor inputs for job-cost review. Location data helps verify that the entry matches the assigned work.
