Know how long every job takes.
Actual is a badge each worker wears on the job. It records the whole workday, from the first stop to the last, with nothing to tap or clock into. Each worker gets a verified timecard they own. With their permission, you use it to see what every job really costs.
Nothing to remember. The badge records on its own, all day.
Nothing at the customer's site. The record stays inside your company.
A timecard the worker owns. It's their proof of the hours they're paid for.
Example week (sample numbers for illustration)
| Day | On site | Travel | Shop and other | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mon | 6:10 | 1:25 | 0:40 | 8:15 |
| Tue | 5:45 | 1:50 | 0:35 | 8:10 |
| Wed | 6:30 | 1:05 | 0:30 | 8:05 |
| Thu | 5:20 | 2:05 | 0:45 | 8:10 |
| Fri | 6:05 | 1:15 | 0:50 | 8:10 |
| Week | 29:50 | 7:40 | 3:20 | 40:50 |
On-site time is split out by property, so each job's cost comes straight from the timecard.
Where a clock-in loses the day
- The day moves. Crews visit several properties, and one clock-in can't show how long each took.
- Job costing leans on memory. When minutes per property aren't recorded, estimates fill the gap.
- Questions surface at payroll. By then the week is over and hard to reconstruct.
- Every method needs someone to act. Busy people forget to tap, and that's normal.
What it's for
- Record the whole workday, with nothing to tap or clock into.
- Show what each job really costs, in true minutes per property, including travel and shop time.
- Bid new work with real numbers.
- Settle questions about hours with a record instead of memory.
- Give each worker a verified timecard they own, so they're paid for every minute, drive time included.
- Make your company a place good crews want to work.
