Labor Sync allows employers and employees to track time and location right from a smartphone or computer. 15 supported languages allow employees to tailor their experience across devices. BUSINESS OWNERS and FOREMEN: You no longer have to worry about accurate time tracking or timesheets. With your Labor Sync account (sign up at www.laborsync.com/signup), you can actively track, monitor, and report upon employee time and GPS location. Employees log in with an individual PIN, so all reporting is accurate and secure. Employees don’t fill out paper timesheets, which means more accurate time tracking and no more wasted labor costs. Even a 15 minute difference per day could save you thousands on labor costs. EMPLOYEES: Don’t worry about filling out timesheets anymore. With Labor Sync, you can quickly log in with a unique pin number, and track all of your time while on the job. You can easily send messages to your boss or foreman, all while recording notes for the job site. With Labor Sync, you can... Track time: - Clock in / Clock out - Start travel - Start jobs - Record all job activity Track GPS Location: - GPS bread-crumbing - GPS locator on job entries - Locate employees on-site - Send messages to employees or back to the office Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Dataforma 2.0 holds the better App Store score, 3.6 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dataforma 2.0 has 23 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Labor Sync's written reviews are positive against 59% of Dataforma 2.0's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Labor Sync ships an update every 25 months, Dataforma 2.0 every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on June 5, 2026 and August 23, 2026 respectively.
