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.

Stop Waiting, Start Working: The Secret to No More Job Site Delays is in Your Pocket
In construction, we all know the drill: time is money. And what costs you both? Waiting. You’ve got a crew ready to roll on a critical job, only to find out a specific fitting, a critical batch of concrete, or even the right safety gear is missing. The result is instant friction: wasted hours, frustrated workers, and a delay that eats directly into your profit margin.
At mJob (that’s us!), we believe your material process shouldn’t be the weakest link. Getting the right materials to the right crew at the right time is non-negotiable. That’s why we built our Field Requisitions feature—it’s the fastest way to turn a “Stop Work” order into a “Start Work” one.
The Problem is Paper. The Solution is mJob.
For too long, material requests have been buried in messy paperwork, texts, or hurried calls—a guaranteed recipe for errors. Your foremen and crew are the experts in the field; they know exactly what they need. Our Field Requisitions feature simply gives them the power to communicate those needs instantly and accurately, turning that chaotic process into a smooth, digital workflow.
7 Ways mJob Field Requisitions Eliminate Headaches and Boost Profit
When you put the power of Field Requisitions in your team’s hands, you’ll see immediate, tangible benefits that help your projects run like clockwork:
- Lightning Speed: No more calling the office and waiting for a callback. Your field team taps a few buttons to submit a request, and managers get an alert instantly. It streamlines the whole process, cutting out lag and keeping the job moving.
- Zero Guesswork: Tired of trying to decipher handwriting? Digital entry captures exact quantities, specifications, and delivery details. Accuracy goes up, and the risk of ordering the wrong thing goes down.
- Real-Time Peace of Mind: You can track every single material request in real-time. Know exactly when it was submitted, who approved it, and its delivery status. Transparency for everyone!
- Save Serious Money: By having clear visibility into actual needs, you stop common problems like over-ordering, rushing duplicate requests, and wasting materials. That adds up to real savings.
- Free Up Your Field Leaders: Every minute your foreman spends chasing down a missing item is a minute they aren’t leading the crew. By automating this process, you let your best people focus on what they do best: building.
- Accountability Made Easy: Every request is documented and tracked. This creates a clear paper trail for material usage, making budgeting easier and increasing accountability across the board.
- Simple for Everyone: We made the mJob app intuitive and simple to use. Your team is already busy; they don’t need a complicated system. If they can use a phone, they can use our requisitions tool.
Fast Approvals Mean Faster Work
A request is just a request until it’s approved. With mJob, managers receive immediate notifications for field submissions, allowing them to approve items in seconds. This critical step ensures:
- Project Flow: Materials are secured the moment they’re requested, ensuring a continuous workflow.
- Budget Guardrails: Approvals give managers control, preventing unnecessary spending and keeping project costs right where they need to be.
- Quality Assurance: It’s the moment to verify that the materials meet project specifications, eliminating costly mistakes and rework before the purchase order is even placed.
