How do I track billable hours across multiple jobsites in a day?
Automatic Site Detection
You do not need to pre-configure client addresses or manually trigger timers when you arrive. The app uses background GPS to recognize when you have reached a new location.
Distinguishing Work from Travel
The software separates 'stops' from 'trips.' This ensures your billable hours reflect only the time spent at the jobsite, while your driving distance is logged separately for tax-time mileage claims.
End-of-Day Reconstruction
At the end of your workday, the app provides a reconstructed timeline of every site you visited. You can see exactly how much time was spent at each specific address and the distance traveled between them.
FAQ
Do I need to set up my clients in the app beforehand?
No, you don't need to pre-configure any jobsites; the app detects them automatically as you arrive.
Will my driving time be included in my billable hours?
No, the app distinguishes between 'trips' (driving) and 'stops' (working) so your hours remain accurate.
