Stop Using Paper Time Cards

There are a few key aspects to estimating job costs: figuring materials and labor, then adding your mark up. Get one of these wrong, and your profit margins quickly begin to shrink. There’s a simple formula for figuring out the amount of paint you’ll need. And you know the necessary markup to turn a profit. But what are you doing to measure labor? busybusy is your time keeping solution for tracking employee hours and measuring them to hone your estimates.

Clocking in and out with the busybusy time clock app stores everyone’s time sheets in the cloud, making them convenient to view, edit, submit – and analyze. busybusy produces easy-to-read reports, so you have all the data you need to really understand how much labor is costing you, how many men it takes to get a specific job done, which jobs would benefit from a few more hands on deck, and how many guys you should plan on hiring for upcoming work.

With the right tools, like mobile time tracking, you can improve your measurements, estimates, and profits.

“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.”

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.

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 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.’
