Stop Using Paper Time Cards
When you’re on a jobsite, paper time cards are bound to get messy. And when you’re trying to figure out your labor costs, paper time cards are little-to-no help because the data is too hard to see. Start and stop times aren’t as accurate as they could be. Handwriting is tricky to read. Payroll processors make mistakes recording time stamps into the accounting software. Human error is unavoidable when you use paper time cards.
When it comes to electrical work, accurately tracking your employees hours is important. Not only is the cost of labor a big ticket item when running a business, but it’s also a huge factor in understanding your costs for a job. Anytime you underbid your labor costs, the overages come straight out of your pocket. To increase you profits, you have to understand your labor costs. This isn’t going to happen if you’re still using paper time cards.

“I tried five to six different types of time tracking systems. Fingerprint cards, regular paper time cards, even key fob systems where they use a key to clock in and out every single day. It just never worked, nothing ever worked. As soon as we started using busybusy I knew right then that for time keeping we had found the solution.”

Make Crew Management Easier
Payroll Gets Done Faster
Timesheets are signed and submitted via the app and stored on the cloud so you don’t have to track them down. Stop worrying about typing errors, triple-checking the numbers, and time spent on payroll. Instead, quickly upload timesheet data right to your accounting software for faster payroll.
Estimates Are More Accurate
busybusy compiles reports based on past timesheet information to show you exactly how long each job takes.
Mobile Crews Are Easy To Locate
If your employee is on the clock, you can also see their location. When your electricians are wiring houses all over town, you can easily locate them should you need something.
ENSURE EMPLOYEES ARE ON THE SAME PAGE WITH OUR SCHEDULING FEATURE
You can inform employees of a schedule change in the app. The office can attach detailed instructions and a location pin, so employees know when they work, what they’re doing, and where to show up. Communicate with your entire crew in the app by adding it to their schedule.
Easily Check On Jobsite Progress
As the boss, being physically present on every jobsite isn’t possible some days. But you can always be up to date with current jobsite conditions with the busybusy app. On-site employees can upload photos and notes to a project folder in the app where off-site management can review from any location.
Timesheet Storage Is No Longer An Issue
busybusy stores company timesheets in the cloud. You have instant access to any employee’s timesheet as far back as their hiring date in the palm of your hand.
Safety and DOL Compliance Are Handled
The clock out feature gives each employee an opportunity to report any type of injury that happened while working that day.

Rest easy knowing that busybusy has been voted the #1 Time Tracking App for ease of use by employees. Case studies have shown if you are moving from paper to busybusy, it will take about two weeks on average to get the kinks out. (That is such a short time for the benefits that will come.)

What would a Daily Report look like for an electrician?
How does busybusy use GPS?
busybusy uniquely created its GPS technology to use the information gathered from Apple and Google Maps. We piggyback on the pings that a smartphone is already receiving to collect accurate GPS locations for employees, but only when employees are clocking in/out, taking breaks, or when there’s a significant location change throughout the day, aka breadcrumbing.
Learn more at How busybusy Uses GPS & Location Services
There is minimal battery drainage since busybusy never grabs a location that a smartphone isn’t already reporting.
Can I shut off GPS tracking?
We designed our GPS settings to be customizable for each employee. Owners/admins can decide if GPS is set to “required,” on but “not required,” or “off.” If you change your mind, GPS can easily be turned on or off company-wide or per employee.
We know privacy is important to you and especially to your employees, so busybusy ONLY tracks GPS locations when an employee is clocked in. Your privacy is important to busybusy too. That’s why you and your employees can rest easy knowing that busybusy only collects and records GPS data during the hours they are clocked in.
What does busybusy do with my location history?
We respect our clients (and ourselves!) too much to consider selling location history. Our company is made up of people like you, who hate it when companies sell personal information. busybusy refuses to be ‘that guy.’
