Manage your remote workforce and jobs to control labor costs and save money. Chronotek Pro is the most dependable employee time tracking and scheduling software available. For over 25 years our goal has been to help businesses control labor costs by equipping supervisors with the tools to manage their workforce from anywhere, on any device. KNOW IF JOBS ARE PROFITABLE… AND WHY In Chronotek Pro, you can create detailed budgets for every type of job that needs to be tracked. From annual contract work to projects and single-day work orders, the system offers real-time reports to show if jobs will be profitable or if any could potentially lose money. The analysis tool breaks out the details of each job’s total cost which allows time to change its profit trajectory if needed; by labor cost, scheduled hours, possible overtime, and even travel time. CLEAN DATA GIVES ACCURATE REPORTS The only way to accurately measure the profitability of a job is to have clean data. By setting up schedules with specific details, employees are guaranteed to match the correct job every time they clock in. There is no guessing involved because workplans are clear. For any “unknown job” situation, the system allows the person to clock in but immediately alerts supervisors and admins to resolve the time card before payroll can be processed. COMMUNICATION IS KEY The company stays connected through messages and boards. Team boards keep threads exclusive within designated groups. Private messages between employees and management allow for confidential communication. And the entire company can stay up to date on current events through company announcements. The Chronotek Pro app supports message translations in over 35 languages. EQUIP SUPERVISORS TO KEEP JOBS ON BUDGET Supervisors are provided every tool to manage their Teams to ensure their jobs are profitable. The Team Jobs screen gives full visibility into schedules by day; people assigned, specifics of the job locations, expected work start times and duration, and any additional details for the projected work. At glance, know who is on the clock, who is next on the clock, who arrived late, who went over scheduled hours and who missed a schedule. Know immediately of location “warnings” or GPS infractions that occur while employees are on the clock. Completed time card hours are calculated by workweek and filter any overtime or “critical” issues that must be resolved before payroll can be processed. MORE THAN A TIME CLOCK APP The app guides employees on exactly what they are to do each day. Schedules are clearly listed by day by time, so employees know where to go, what to do, and how long the work should last. Expected travel time is even laid out in the daily work to easily plan their day. And because schedules are clearly defined, there is no need for job codes ... ever. GPS location tracking can be set according to each company’s policies. If necessary, employees can be blocked from clocking into a job if their GPS settings are disabled. Employees are never prohibited from clocking in but the app will notify management when it detects that any rules have been broken. A time summary screen shows calculated hours by day and workweek of personal hours worked vs. scheduled hours assigned. The app is super easy for everyone to use. No passwords are needed; users simply enter their cell number to receive an access code. If a personal profile exists for the user, the app immediately opens to the screen according to their role. Login and stay logged in. This Chronotek Pro app is a companion to the newly released UI. To use this app, your company must have a Chronotek Pro account, and users must be setup with a profile in the system. … AND MUCH MORE!
