With mobile employee time tracking, employees use an app on a mobile device to punch in and out for shifts. This is a popular method for field service, sales, home health, delivery and other businesses with employees that travel throughout the day. Modern mobile time tracking apps have intelligent clock features which are a form of Artificial Intelligence (AI). This means they present only logical clocking options based on the employee’s status (punch in, punch out, punch out for break, punch in for break). In addition, they can track mileage, manage tips, and tie employee work time to jobs or projects. Employers can customize clock prompts to collect any type of information they need to manage projects and teams effectively. There is no better efficiency tool for businesses with hourly mobile employees.
