Custom Time Clock Software: Mobile Solutions for the Construction Industry

Gain Added Efficiency By Customizing Your Mobile Time Clock Software

Tailoring mJobTime’s Custom Time Clock Software To Meet The Special Needs of Your Business

At mJobTime, we have focused on giving our customers a large number of configuration options to make our application as flexible as possible. However, software programs are designed to accommodate the maximum number of companies possible. We realize that there are going to be situations where mJobTime may not address certain facets of your business processes, but we ultimately strive to provide employee time clock solutions that will be unique to every business.

We look upon these situations as opportunities. This is because we love to get input from our customers about our time clocks for construction as well as our other software. Many times, this input can lead to a new feature or functionality that becomes a standard part of the program. Oftentimes, when the amount of work and time involved is not significant, we will do the work at no charge. Even in those situations where there is a substantial amount of resources required to do the work, if we feel it will improve the product, we often will share the cost of the modification with the customer. In those situations where the customization is very unique to a customer, we will provide a quote for the work and allow the customer to make their own decision.

Whatever the case, our development team has earned quite a reputation for doing outstanding work in a reasonable time period. They will work with you to get a detailed understanding of your needs, propose a solution, develop and test the solution, and follow-up to insure that our employee time clock solutions are working as intended once released. Our customers constantly rave about the amount of time we have saved them with our modifications. Usually, the ROI on our customizations is very short.

Whether it’s a special report or a very specific way to calculate travel or per diem pay, our crackerjack development staff is always ready to meet your custom modification challenges. They thrive on being able to make mJobTime (and our time clocks for construction) meet even your most stringent and unique requirements.

mJobTime Mobile Time Clock Software Customization Examples

  • Allow customer to clock in crews with equipment attached, but only post the equipment to one employee’s time card (not the entire crew).
  • Allow Supervisor user to transfer individual existing time records to a different company, verifying that all (pronoun) time record fields are valid in the “transfer-to” company, and disabling transfers for “Approved” and
    “Exported” records.
  • Add a new labor report for commercial drivers with the following columns:
    • Last Name
    • First Name
    • Position
    • Last Day Off
    • Next Mandated Day Off
    • Total Hours since Last Day Off
    • Hours Remaining (in the cycle)

      • Salaried employees will be identified by a field in the employee table.
      • Time records beyond the 40 hour limit will remain in mJobTime and will be flagged as “exported”.
    • For time records that include task codes beginning with “41” populate the “GL Exp Acct” field as follows:
      • The second segment of the task code
      • Followed by the employee’s department number (two-digit-zero-filled)
      • The employee’s dept number will be pulled from a field in the employee table Examples: “500503”, “500603”
  • Develop a custom version of the “Daily Time Sheet Entry by Employee” screen:
    • To include a five-row header,
    • Make the Job Number column header span all columns for the same job.
    • As new columns are added, insert them into the grid sorted in ascending order by Job Number, then by the last five digits of the Cost Code, then by Extra.
    • Remove color shading of alternate rows in grid and add a solid line between rows
    • Shade “REG”, “OVT”, and “DBL” columns in White/Lt Blue/Dark Blue
    • Increase allowable distribution columns to 30
    • Divide the “Total” column into “REG”, “OVT”, and “DBL” sub-columns and display the appropriate totals for each row broken down into the three Pay IDs.
  • Replace the “Save” button acknowledgement dialog with the following custom dialog:
    • “Entries will be recorded with the following Date: ##/##/####”
    • Allow user to click “OK” or “Cancel”
  • Allow users to save selected distribution columns for multiple jobs and have them default whenever a job is selected for time entry.

Best Practices

mJob is most effective when integrated into clear, consistent operational strategies. Here are 7 core practices to maximize efficiency and accountability on your job site:

🧱 1. Standardize Your Digital Processes

  • Create consistent workflows for clock-ins, material tracking, equipment use, safety checks, and daily reports.
  • Use templates within your app to keep documentation uniform across crews and job sites.
  • Define roles and permissions so supervisors, foremen, and crew members only see what’s relevant to their job.

The "wrench time" reality check shows that non-productive time is a silent killer, costing companies tens of thousands of dollars annually in lost profit (not just wages, but fully-burdened labor rates). This non-productivity—caused by waiting, excessive travel, and administrative waste—snowballs into project delays and faulty future estimates. To fix this invisible drain, you must use real-time, accurate field data provided by mJob to measure and correct bottlenecks.
