# Time Tracking for Field Service Crews

## Headline

Time on the job — not on a separate timesheet

## Summary

Log labor against the visit you are on, keep billable hours tied to the job, and invoice with accurate time data.

## Common Problems

- **Hours guessed at invoice time**: Reconstructing the day from memory at 9pm means lost billable time and underpriced jobs.
- **Paper timesheets that never sync**: Crew hours on clipboards do not reach the invoice until someone retypes them — if they do at all.
- **Labor margin you cannot see**: Without time on the job record, you do not know which visits actually made money.

## Capabilities

- **Log time on the job**: Start and stop labor on the active visit — hours stay on the job ticket.
- **Crew time in one place**: See labor entries per job — useful when you add techs or subs later.
- **Time flows to invoices**: Billable hours pull into invoice line items — less retyping, fewer missed charges.
- **Job-level labor visibility**: Compare estimated vs actual time on completed jobs — tighten estimates over time.

## Example Workflow

1. Clock in on the job. Open the active visit and log labor as you work — from the field or office.
2. Review before you bill. See total hours on the job ticket before you build the invoice.
3. Invoice with accurate labor. Pull time into line items — customer sees clear labor charges.

## Who It Is For

Solo tradespeople and small home-service crews (about 1–5 people), including HVAC, plumbing, electrical, landscaping, cleaning, pest control, handyman, and pressure washing businesses.
