Frequently Asked Questions

In talking to customers about their experiences prior to implementing a digital field time entry solution, we learned that poor time tracking records made it challenging to:


  •  Pay people on time


  • Update work order details in a timely manner


  • Accurately assess the cost of labor at any given moment

Construction time tracking software helps your project- or service-focused business forecast and maintain cost records. This allows you to provide detailed and accurate price estimates for the services you provide based on real-time data at any given moment.

You can also:


  •  Determine productivity of stakeholders/employees while improving their processes.


  • Run over/under spending analysis including all available data as soon as it’s entered from the field, even unposted.


  • Improver billing and operational efficiency through automated workflows using single-entry data.


  • Decide when and where additional resources are needed, and which employees are producing effectively.

Being able to compare payroll against your construction costs makes it possible to account for every working minute using construction time tracking. Whether you need to manage a team of employees or multiple teams across a range of locations, project time tracking is a vital part of determining whether you are under, at, or over budget, and whether your profits are at risk.
Field Time provides you with valuable insights in the field and office at all stages of your project.


  •  Early in a project, you can determine if there are overages to address before it’s too late.


  • Avoiding errors in labor hours and data keeps pay from being late or of the wrong amount.


  • Determine which workers should be rewarded for efficiency and which should be reprimanded for logging out an hour away from the jobsite.
