NewGPS-verified time records for field crews

Stop paying for hours your crew never worked.

Crewtrace helps contractors catch payroll leakage from off-site clock-ins, late edits, buddy punching, and messy timesheets before those hours hit payroll.

Free audit takes about 60 seconds. Estimate your leakage first, then decide whether Crewtrace fits.

For your crews

Clock in and out in seconds — right from the jobsite.

Your field teams should not need training manuals to punch time. Crewtrace keeps the daily flow simple: open the app, tap once, and get back to work.

  • One tap to clock in

    Workers open the app and tap once. No menus, no codes, no calling the office to get started.

  • GPS verifies the jobsite

    Every clock-in is tied to the project they're on, so location proof happens automatically in the background.

  • Lunch and clock-out stay obvious

    Start Lunch and Clock Out are always on screen during a shift — no digging through settings at the end of the day.

Payroll leakage

Unverified time turns into real margin loss

Most crews are not trying to create payroll problems. But when time comes from paper sheets, texts, memory, or a generic clock app, small errors stack up fast.

01

A worker clocks in before reaching the site.

02

Someone edits missed time at the end of the week.

03

A foreman approves hours without location proof.

04

Payroll spends Friday chasing down missing details.

05

The business pays for time it can't confidently verify.

Small gaps in verification compound across every crew, every week.

One or two questionable entries may not look like much. Across every crew, every week, they become a payroll problem worth measuring.

Compliance & Audit Protection

DOL Compliance for Construction Timekeeping.

One contractor faced a $50k fine because their records were “word of mouth.”With Crewtrace, they achieved 100% compliance overnight.

Paper Chaos

Paper time cards are easily lost, impossible to verify, and a red flag for DOL investigators.

100% Digital Proof

Geofenced clock-ins and real-time logs create an airtight defense. No more guessing, no more fines.

“When the auditor saw our reports, the conversation changed instantly. We were done in 15 minutes.”

Absolute Certainty

Stop relying on the honor system. Know exactly when your crew starts and ends, with proof.

Construction Time Tracking FAQ

Everything you need to know about modernizing crew tracking, payroll approvals, and field accountability.

Workers download the Crewtrace app on their phone and clock in with a single tap when they arrive at the job site. The app records their GPS location and verifies they are within the designated work zone. When they clock out, the same verification happens. All hours are automatically calculated and ready for payroll export.

Yes. Crewtrace is built for crew tracking on job sites: clock-ins are tied to verified locations so you can see when crews arrived, how long they stayed on site, and where time exceptions occurred. GPS is used to validate clock events—not to track people continuously when they are off the clock.

Geofencing creates a virtual boundary around your job site. Workers can only clock in when their phone's GPS confirms they are physically within that boundary. This eliminates buddy punching, early clock-ins from the parking lot, and inflated hours — the most common forms of construction time theft.

Yes. We keep it simple for field crews. They install the iOS or Android app once, sign in, and clock in with a single tap.

The clock-in records locally on the phone and syncs automatically when signal returns. This is designed for active construction sites, not ideal network conditions.

Paper timesheets cost the average contractor $20,000-40,000 per year in time theft, payroll errors, and admin time. Crewtrace replaces that with GPS-verified digital records that are accurate, audit-ready, and export directly to your payroll software. Most contractors see ROI within the first two weeks.

Crewtrace pricing depends on crew size and rollout scope. Book a 15-minute call and we will confirm fit, talk through the right setup path, and give you straightforward pricing guidance for your operation.

The process is structured to reduce payroll leakage quickly. If the expected value is not there, we recommend not switching.

No. Crewtrace handles roster setup, job-site configuration, and onboarding support so teams can start without heavy admin overhead.

You get notified and can adjust or flag for review. GPS verification removes most disputes over when someone actually arrived.

Verified crew hours your payroll team can defend.

Book 15 minutes and we will map where GPS-verified clock-ins can close payroll leakage first. Reduce payroll overpayment, strengthen compliance confidence, and cut weekly payroll admin time.
