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.

      • 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”

mJobTime Reduces Payroll Costs By 70% For Commercial Landscaper

The Company

All Seasons Landscaping is a commercial landscape construction contractor serving Connecticut and surrounding states with commercial hydro seeding services, invasive species control and removal, planting and restoration, landfill erosion control, wetlands planting, snow removal, and more. Their many customer projects include major shopping malls, wetlands, athletic fields, D.O.T. highway projects, casinos, golf courses, and extensive housing developments.

Not just your average landscape contractor, All Seasons prides itself on quality work, integrity, and reliability. The company’s ongoing success depends on its ability to provide competitive costs, experienced staff, flexible timelines, electronic American Institute of Architects (AIA) billing and certified payrolls, fast turn-around, and timely material submissions.

The Challenge

All Seasons’ payroll processing costs were negatively impacted by job site paperwork delays, missing time sheets, redundant time data entry, and software incompatibility issues.

According to company president Michael Poinelli, “Over the last 30 years the technological advances made in our industry are nothing short of baffling. Our industry has evolved to an unimaginable level of sophistication.”

Growing from its roots as a residential lawn service company in 1975 into a major player in the commercial landscape construction industry today, All Seasons realized an urgent need to streamline labor and material reporting work flows. Because their many state government and D.O.T. highway projects required extensive paperwork and fool-proof backup documentation, the company was determined to find a system that would be easy for field workers to use; a system that would eliminate redundant, manual data entry, and integrate seamlessly with their accounting system. The company knew these factors, along with its commitment to “professionalism, teamwork, and persistent development,” were critical to its ongoing success in the industry.

The Solution

After trying two other time clock systems that failed to meet their needs and were incompatible with their Foundation accounting software, the company found mJobTime on the Partner page of Foundation’s website. Lou LaVecchia, Director of Operations attests, “Because we found it listed on Foundation’s website, we knew mJobTime would work with our software. We liked the fact that it had customizable features that weren’t limited. It just seemed to stand out from all the other products.”

All Seasons installation and hands-on training for the mJobTime Web Edition went very well and, according to LaVecchia, everything was organized and running smoothly in just a few weeks, both in the field and in the office. All Seasons uses four out of five mJobTime Mobility Suite modules: Labor Manager, Equipment Manager, Daily Field Manager, and GPS Manager.

From the start, field workers had little trouble adjusting to time entry on their Android phones. Field time is now recorded in real-time or after-the-fact, without redundancy. Field worker GPS coordinates are saved at clock in and clock out. Foremen can quickly and easily review, edit, distribute, and approve time in the field. They’re able to track production units and expenses; they can also enter field notes and upload pictures if needed. LaVecchia approves all field and office time entries before they go into Foundation for final payroll processing.

The Benefit

mJobTime’s efficiency, speed, and organization are helping All Seasons remain competitive in a tough industry. With mJobTime, LaVecchia says, “our field guys no longer need to manually submit paperwork to the office. They enter their time once and that’s it. It goes right into the system. Our in-office processing for each submission now takes 5-10 minutes instead of 1-1/2 hours. This saves us about $30,000 per year in payroll costs.” He adds, “Our time and material billing is no longer questioned by the state because labor time reporting is done in real time and supported by the GPS tracking.”

Summary

All Seasons needed to streamline their job site paperwork and integrate their field time and material reporting work flows with their payroll accounting system. After an exhaustive search, All Seasons installed mJobTime and saved 70% of their payroll processing costs. mJobTime allowed them to keep detailed time and material records to meet demands of the state Department of Transportation and other customer agencies. With labor time reports and GPS coordinates to back up their estimating, the company is now able to bid, win, and manage large projects in a more organized and cost-efficient manner, letting them compete where their competitors cannot.
