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.

Construction Time Clock App:
Simplify Time Tracking for Construction Businesses

A mobile device with construction time clock software.

Mobile Time Clock Software for Construction Businesses

Mobile Time Clock App for Construction and Field Operations

Now you can have a construction time card app for employee time tracking using the iPads that you may already have in the field and on your job site. With the addition of a fingerprint reader connected to the iPad’s lightning connector, your supervisors can quickly and efficiently track employee hours, allocate hours, manage billable hours, and clock in and out construction and field crews using biometric verification. To track time, construction workers do not need to swipe a card or enter an ID—just place their finger on the reader. The system will identify the employee for quick and efficient clock in and out.

All transactions on the construction time tracking app will be transmitted to the PowerTrack server where they can be reviewed and approved, along with any other transactions from mobile or web clients. In addition, the supervisor can review all of the transactions of the entire crew originating on his/her iPad simply by clicking a menu tab within the time clock app. Construction time clock apps are perfect for construction companies and other work environments with mobile crews.

Flexible Options

The PowerTrack iPad Biometric application has several options that can provide additional advantages for your construction business, including:

Job Designation

When entering the biometric timeclock mode, the supervisor can enter a specific job and phase for the clock-in entries of multiple employees at the job site.

Clock Out Questions

The system can optionally present up to three questions to the user at the time of clock out (for example, verifying that the employee was not injured today). The answers to these questions can be viewed in the application’s transaction review.

Conditional Logic

Configure the application to take a different action based on the answers to the employee’s clock-out questions. Provide a custom message or even prevent clock-out posting based on the answers to your questions.

Web-Based Biometric Timeclock App

Users can clock in, clock out, change jobs, and answer clock-out questions.
